The 33-year-old cricketer, originally from Nevis, died in a vehicular accident last night while on his way home from a cricket game around 11 p.m. He was the sole occupant in the car which crashed into a utility pole on the Solomon Hochoy Highway in Chase Village, central Trinidad.

Very Sad news. Here is his statistics:
Tests: 15 matches, 573 runs, highest score of 70 not out, average 22.03
One-day internationals: 56 matches, 1,519 runs, highest score of 110, average 33.75
Twenty20 internationals: 7 matches, 96 runs, highest score of 40, average 16
A tragic event. I remember that highway as very dangerous.
Rest In Peace… I just viewed Fire in Babylon last week.
