From the Vault: Lloyd smacks Aussies around Brisbane

[@saleemkirmani5583]

Clive Lloyd was underrated despite his breathtaking batting throughout the world. He was a brilliant captain too.

[@Leftfield71]

My all time favourite non Australian cricketer. I was too young to see the early part of his career, but I got to see him in the late 70's and early 80's on his numerous tours of Australia and I loved watching him bat, he was both elegant and brutal. He was also a wonderful fielder, although by the time I started watching he was primarily a slips fielder due to back injuries (IIRC). He was a terrific captain, a great ambassador for West Indian cricket and wonderful human being. Happy 76th Birthday Clive.

[@thed33j45]

Absolute Gentleman...I remember being coached by him a little as a kid at a testimonial match in 1986 Orrell RTCC v Clive Lloyds Lancashire XI in Wigan, I was like 7 years old and met him later in my mid teens at Old trafford such an amiable bloke had my photo took with him. Too young to see him play in person myself (apart form that match i mention) but my father always loved him.
