Carl Hooper (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Carl Llewellyn Hooper is a former West Indian cricket player and captain. He was a right-handed batsman and off-spin bowler, who came to prominence in the late 1980s in a side that included such players as Gordon Greenidge, Desmond Haynes, Malcolm Marshall and Courtney Walsh and represented the West Indies over a 21-year international career. His highest innings score of 233 was made during a Test series in India in 2001. He has made 5,762 runs in his Test cricket career. Hooper could be an erratic Test batsman, as his lower average of 36.46 over 102 Tests shows. In ODI play, Hooper's aggressive style of batting fared better: he averaged 35.34 off 227 matches. Hooper represented Guyana at local first-class level, and played English county cricket for Kent and Lancashire. In 2003, Hooper became only the second player to have scored a century against all 18 county teams
