With as many as 8648 runs from 238 ODIs, Desmond Haynes occupies the fourth position in the list of all-time leading run-scorers from West Indies. His technical supremacy and remorseless appetite for runs complemented fellow Bajan Gordon Greenidge's brutal stroke-play at the top of the order. Following his long-time batting partner's retirement in 1991, Haynes found himself opening the innings with quite a few inexperienced players.

In his last ODI, Haynes was accompanied by Phil Simmons at the top of the order. Trailing 1-2 in the series, England opted to bowl first in the penultimate game at the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad. The seasoned opener put their bowlers to the sword with a brilliant 112-ball 115 which carried West Indies to 265/7 before the innings was halted. With their revised target amounting to 209 from 36 overs, the visitors put up a gallant fight. But West Indies romped home by 15 runs to seal the series.
