Top 5 number 5s in Tests for West Indies

#4 Clive Lloyd

The former West Indian great is famed for having created one of the most fearsome cricket teams in the history of the game in the 1970s, but what is often forgotten is that he was among the finest batsmen in the world as well and Clive Lloyd was particularly superb when he batted at number 5.

Lloyd played in 110 Test matches in a career spanning more than 18 years from 1966 to 1985 and batted at the number 5 position in 54 games.

He was first and foremost an attacking batsman, who was well known for belting the fastest of bowlers for boundaries and in addition to that, he was largely untroubled by spin bowlers.

On the other hand, Lloyd possessed the gift of timing as well and looked extremely elegant when he leaned on to those drives on the offside. In those 54 Tests, he scored 3049 runs and remains the second highest run scorer at the position for the West Indies.

He averaged 46.19 at number 5 and slammed 8 centuries, along with 14 half-centuries.
