		Greenidge grew up in England, and he first learnt to play cricket on the soft, often grassy pitches that were uncovered in the UK.
		West Indian batsmen of Greenidge's era are often subjected to the observation that they did not have to face their own bowlers, but Greenidge would have been able to plunder runs from even the likes of Michael Holding and Colin Croft on his day.
		Greenidge was troubled through much of his career by a knee injury, but the greater the limp between the wickets the more menacing the cricket he played.

		Greenidge was at the Bangladeshi helm for two years leading into the World Cup and his last game coincided with the cricket minnows' greatest sporting moment.
		"Gordon's track record as a world class opening batsman speaks for itself, and so the opportunity to bring in someone with his expertise was one which we couldn't afford to miss," said Rice.
		Greenidge, who played 108 tests for the West Indies and was the leading scorer in the West Indies last World Cup triumph in 1979, lives in Nottingham.

		Gordon had moved to England when he was just 12 years old; he had been brought up and educated in reading; he had, as Hampshire's most impressive young opener joining striking issue with the mighty Barry Richards in bringing off sixes, even been approached by Ray Illingworth to play for England!
		To this extent, Gordon Greenidge had never been 'one of the boys' in the Windies dressing-room, being considered a poor mixer by boisterous Caribbean standards.
		For, where Gordon Greenidge (even while struggling initially against Chandra) had scored 93 and 107 in that his debut Test (at Bangalore in November 1974), Viv Richards had flopped in both innings.

		Former batsman Gordon Greenidge believes the West Indies have become a laughing stock because the various Caribbean nations adopt a united approach to the game.
		Greenidge, who is working with the current team as a specialist batting coach, thinks they are being left behind by the other Test nations in terms of developing new talent.
		Greenidge is regarded as one of the greatest openers in history after scoring 7,558 runs in 108 Tests at an average of 44.72, with 19 centuries and 34 fifties.

		In such a mood he didn't run much anyway and his brutal unbeaten 214 at Lord's in 1984, to set up a nine-wicket win after England had had the temerity to declare, is considered one of the great innings.

		Greenidge had not only masterminded Bangadesh's victory in the ICC trophy in 1997-98, but united the players into a cohesive unit.
		However, Greenidge earned the wrath of the Board when he criticised it in the local media for dragging its feet on certain issues.

		For nearly 13 years he and Gordon Greenidge formed what was the most successful opening pair the West Indies have had.
		One could argue that they were the best Test openers in history but that would be a subjective judgement; suffice it to say that the pair scored a total of 6,483 runs together in the middle, nearly 3,000 more than the next pair on the ladder, Lawry and Simpson.
		Greenidge was out of the running as he had been brought up in England -- the West Indies authorities are still sensitive about such things.

		The savagery of a Greenidge square cut, or the elegance and ecstasy of an up-on-the-right-foot pivot as the ball is lashed to mid-wicket or square-leg still brings tears to some eyes.
		Indeed, Greenidge was, in some opinions, including mine, the hardest hitter of the ball ever seen anywhere in the Caribbean, and those vying for that accolade included Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards.
		Gordon Greenidge, Viv Richards, Michael Holding, Joel Garner and Colin Croft, to name a few, may not have played, when they did, if ever they would have, had it not been for Lloyd.

		Now, his criticism of Gordon seems inappropriate and too personal to imply the words, “for the good of WI Cricket”;.
		As much as I had appreciated the style and guile of Gordon Greenidge’s batting during his career, I humbly disagree with his comments regarding the positions which he has agreed to hold, both with the Stanford group and also as chairman of the selector’s for the West Indies team.
		Just the fact that there was recent conflict with the two organizations regarding the 20/20 match planned for November and the WI team tour to Pakistan, should have sent the same message to Greenidge as it did to Clive Lloyd, except that the former WI captain decided to serve WI cricket instead.

		The other was a Barbadian opening bat with a Cheshire Cat-like grin and an unquenchable thirst for runs who, for the next 15 years, laid the foundation for many daunting Caribbean totals.
		Over the past week at Sabina Park, Andy Roberts and Gordon Greenidge were together again - edging towards their half centuries a little older, a little greyer and a lot wiser - to help prepare a 16-man West Indies squad for another tour to Australia which could prompt the 'rebirth' of Caribbean cricket.
		No sane betting man gives the Windies a hoot of a chance against the world champions in their own backyard but Roberts and Greenidge, while lamenting their short time to work with the team, are cautiously optimistic.

		Gordon was "just not there" as Viv Richards (49 & 123; 67 & 39 upon his return in the second and third Tests) batted imperiously enough to help the West Indies draw the series, 1-1, after the Port-of Spain match had been all but won, following his hitback hundred.
