  Desmond Haynes Information
Desmond Leo Haynes (born February 15, 1956 in Barbados) is a West Indian cricketer and cricket coach.
One of the greatest batsman to ever play for the West Indies, Haynes formed a formidable partnership with Gordon Greenidge in Test cricket which was integral to the success of the West Indies cricket team of the 1980s.
Like most West Indian openers, Haynes was brilliant against pace and, after struggling against spin early in his career, developed into a deadly player of slow bowling, his double of 75 and 143 against Australia on an SCG dustbowl in 1989 was of rare quality.

Desmond Haynes, the former West Indies opening batsman, is one those who are eloquent and say a lot.

In the midst of some good advice on how to fight back, Haynes also said that today's players must take their responsibility to West Indies cricket and to the West Indies people seriously, that they must take some initiative and that taking initiative does not mean being arrogant.
