Clive Lloyd's Test Debut — West Indies vs India, Bombay, December 1966

India vs West Indies

1966-12-13

Clive Lloyd of British Guiana made his Test debut against India in Bombay in December 1966, at 22. The tall left-hander — six feet five in his socks, with the wrists and timing of a much lighter man — scored 82 not out in his first innings and announced a presence that would dominate West Indian cricket for the next fifteen years. Lloyd would go on to captain West Indies through their most dominant era.
