Rowe joins list of top Jamaican players

KINGSTON: Former West Indies batsman Lawrence Rowe, who led his team on two tours of apartheid-era South Africa, was recognised as one of Jamaica's top five cricketers.

Rowe was selected in the final of five ceremonies marking the West Indies' 75th year in Test cricket. He joined Jamaican fast bowlers Michael Holding and Courtney Walsh, wicketkeeper Jeffrey Dujon and batsman George Headley, who were selected from a pool of 15 players over the last year. The 55-year-old Rowe played 30 Tests from 1971 to 1980, finishing with an average of 43.55. He scored seven centuries including an epic 302 against England at the Kensington Oval in Barbados in 1974. — AP
