Larry Gomes

In an Indian summer to his career, some 20 years after touring England as a schoolboy cricketer, he was named Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1985 and the Larry Gomes Stadium in Malabar, Arima, is named after him.

However, he is also remembered in Australia as the batsman whose wicket Dennis Lillee took during the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne in 1981 to break Lance Gibbs' world record for most Test wickets.
