Manny Martindale
 Manny Martindale was
among the first in a great line of fast bowlers to represent the West
Indies. Martindale made his Test debut for the West Indies on
the 1933 tour to England. Of medium height with strong shoulders and
assertive thighs , he would have been a natural part of the world
champion West Indies cricket side of the eighties and nineties. Manny
Martindale along with Constantine form the first effective pace attack
for the West Indies. Like most fast bowlers he was fast and menacing.
Martindale had only one tour to
England, this was in 1933, on this tour he and Learie Constantine
caused a sensation with "Body Line" bowling the type of leg-theory in
the Old Trafford Test which had aroused such acrimony in Australia the
previous winter. D. R. Jardine, who was the instigator of this method
of attack, receiving heavy punishment, but manage to put
together a fine 127, his only Test century. In that tour Martindale
took 103 wickets -- 14 of them in the three Tests.
Manny Martindale spent a number
of years in League cricket in the North of England, he played his last
Test match at Kennington Oval, London in 1939.
After returning to his native Barbados, Martindale became a coach. He
died in Barbados on March 17, 1972 at the age of 62
