George Headley

George Alphonso Headley (30 May 1909 – 30 November 1983) was a West Indian cricketer who appeared in 22 Test matches, the majority of which were played before WWII. Headley, who also represented Jamaica and played professional club cricket in England, is regarded as one of the best batsman to play for the West Indies and one of the greatest cricketers of all time. During most of Headley's playing career, the West Indies had a mediocre cricket team; being their only world-class player, he bore a lot of responsibility, and the squad relied on his batting.

He's in third place, scoring 2,190 runs in the Tests with an average of 60.83, and 9,921 runs in all first-class games with an average of 69.86. He was selected as one of Wisden cricketers of the year in 1934.
