Sonny Ramadhin

The West Indies aren't known for being the land of great spin bowlers but back in the 1950s and 60s, they had some great spinners in the side and Trinidad & Tobago's Sonny Ramadhin was among the best. He was such a talented bowler that the selectors picked him for the tour to England in 1950 after he had played only a couple of first-class games. In his very first series, he proved to be a revelation.

Ramadhin had the rare gift of bowling both leg-spin and off-spin with the same action and that confused batsmen no end. In a career that lasted around 11 years, Ramadhin played 43 Test matches and picked up 158 wickets at an average of 28.98. In first-class cricket, he played 184 games for Trinidad, Lancashire and Lincolnshire and ended up snaring 758 wickets.
