The first players to score Test centuries for their countries

Windies: Clifford Roach

After getting out for a duck, without even facing a ball in his maiden Test innings in 1928, which was also Windies' first Test, aggressive opener Roach went on to score a magnificent 122 to become the first man from the Carribean to score a Test hundred.

His attacking instinct made him a thorough crowd entertainer as he developed a habit of scoring a majority of his runs through boundaries.

If his batting skills could be called astute, his fielding was sharp to say the least, as he came to be known as a reliable fielder in the cover region.
