Wayne Wendell Daniel (born 16 January 1956) is a former
Western Australia in his cricketing career. He was the first person to hit a six and take a wicket on the last ball of his test career. He was a part of the West Indian squad which finished as runners-up at the 1983 Cricket World Cup
.
Cricket career
Born in
Barbados in 1975/76. Daniel, in partnership with fellow fast bowlers Michael Holding and Andy Roberts, contributed greatly to the defeat of England in 1976.[1]
Nicknamed "Diamond" or "Black Diamond",Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield 1981–82 season and for his native Barbados between 1976 and 1985.
Style of play
Daniel's run up was idiosyncratic but he bowled with a strong action, bending his back and then following through halfway down the pitch to deliver 'heavy' balls which hit the batsman's splice or ribs. His long run up also meant that during
John Player League matches, which limited bowlers' run-ups, Daniel ran on the spot for a while to simulate his full run-up.[7][2]
Later life
When his playing days came to a close, Daniel became involved in coaching along with cricket commentary.[8]
