Colin Cowdrey
Michael Colin Cowdrey, Baron Cowdrey of Tonbridge, (24 December 19324 December 2000) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Oxford University (1952–1954), Kent County Cricket Club (1950–1976) and England (1954–1975). Universally known as Colin Cowdrey, he "delighted crowds throughout the world with his style and elegance", and was the first cricketer to play 100 Test matches, celebrating the occasion with 104 against Australia in 1968. In all he played 114 Tests, making 7,624 runs at an average of 44.06, overtaking Wally Hammond as the most prolific Test batsman, and taking 120 catches as a fielder, breaking another Hammond record. Cowdrey made 22 Test centuries (an England record until 2013) and was the first batsman to make centuries against the six other Test playing countries of his era; Australia, South Africa, the West Indies, New Zealand, India and Pakistan, making hundreds against them all both home and away. He toured Australia six times in 1954–55, 1958–59, 1962–63, 1965–66, 1970–71 and 1974–75, equalling Colin Blythe's record, and in his last Test fans hung out a banner 'M.C.G. FANS THANK COLIN – 6 TOURS'.
Colin Cannonier
Cannonier was born in Basseterre, and educated at Basseterre High School. He made his first-class cricket debut for the Leeward Islands during the 1995–96 Busta Cup, and played a total of four times in his first season, including in his team's defeat of Trinidad and Tobago in the competition final. Cannonier was awarded a scholarship to the University of the West Indies in 1996, and consequently did not again appear for the Leeward Islands until the 1999–00 Red Stripe Bowl (a limited-overs competition). The 2000–01 season was his last with the Leewards, but in the 2002–03 Red Stripe Bowl he represented the "Rest of Leeward Islands" side that played during Antigua and Barbuda's period as a separate team. Cannonier's final high-level cricket matches came at the Stanford 20/20 competition in 2006 and 2008, where he represented the Saint Kitts national team. He never made the Saint Kitts national football team, but did captain his club side, Basseterre's Newtown United.
