Biography Of Gordon Greenidge- The Destructive West Indian

By Shubham Shah December 07, 2020 • 13:53 PM View: 193

Cuthbert Gordon Greenidge MBE is a former member of the West Indies cricket team and with brooding and massively destructive strokeplay was one of the premier opening batsmen of the West Indies.

Gordon Greenidge was as much an integral part of the Caribbean dominance from the mid-1970s into the 1990s as the celebrated pool of supreme fast bowlers. On the pitch, Greenidge exuded every bit of confidence and panache worthy of a player of his ability. But off it, he seldom appealed to the West Indian cricket fan in the same way as a Viv Richards.
