4. Clive Lloyd



Clive Lloyd is mostly remembered as the captain of the famous invincible West Indies squad of the '70s and '80s.



In 1971 he was named Wisden Cricketer of the Year. He captained the West Indies between 1974 and 1985 and oversaw their rise to become the dominant Test-playing nation, a position that was only relinquished in the later half of the 1990s.

Lloyd scored over 7,500 runs at Test level, at an average of 46.67.

He hit 77 sixes in his Test career, which is the sixth highest number of any player. Though not as brutal as Vivian Richards, Lloyd was also a hard hitter of the ball and could demoralise the opposition.
