Thelston Payne
Thelston Rodney O'Neale Payne (13 February 1957 – 10 May 2023) was a Barbadian cricketer who played one Test match and seven One Day Internationals for the West Indies. Test career Payne played first-class cricket from 1978–79 to 1989–90, turning out in 68 first class matches, mostly for Barbados. He was usually second-choice wicket-keeper to Jeff Dujon in the West Indies team, but got his Test chance in the 1985–86 series against England in the West Indies, when Dujon was injured. He held five catches in the West Indies' seven-wicket win, but scored only five runs. ODI career In his seven ODIs, he was always in and out of the team, and he only played in two successive matches – in the 1986–87 World Series Cup. That was his penultimate ODI – his last was against New Zealand two months later, during which he held a catch off Richard Hadlee's bat, but did not get to bat because Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes wrapped up the target without losing a wicket. ...

Foul Bay, Barbados
Foul Bay refers to a bay, beach, and village in Saint Philip Parish, alongside the southeast coast of Barbados. Foul Bay Beach is used for excursions, picnics, wedding ceremonies, and receptions by locals and visitors to the island. It is also a nesting area for hawksbill sea turtles. There are different explanations of how the area got its name. Up to the mid-1950s fishermen used to sell their catch on Foul Bay Beach. The fish were de-scaled and gutted on the spot. The smell was foul, hence the name. Another story claims the name is a misspelling of "Fowl" Bay, and that the area once hosted many migrating birds. Late 18th and early 19th Century Documents pertaining to British slavery in Barbados show the area's name as both "Foul" and "Fowl." As the local government developed the fishing industry, designated fish markets were set up in Oistins, Speightstown, and Bridgetown Bridgetown (UN/LOCODE: BB BGI) is the Capital city, capital and largest city of Barbados.

West Indies Test Cricketers
West is one of the four cardinal directions or points of the compass. It is the opposite direction from east and is the direction in which the Sun sets on the Earth. Etymology The word "west" is a Germanic word passed into some Romance languages (''ouest'' in French, ''oest'' in Catalan, ''ovest'' in Italian, ''vest'' in Romanian, ''oeste'' in Spanish and Portuguese). As in other languages, the word formation stems from the fact that west is the direction of the setting sun in the evening: 'west' derives from the Indo-European root ''*wes'' reduced from ''*wes-pero'' 'evening, night', cognate with Ancient Greek ἕσπερος hesperos 'evening; evening star; western' and Latin vesper 'evening; west'. Examples of the same formation in other languages include Latin occidens 'west' from occidō 'to go down, to set' and Hebrew מַעֲרָב (maarav) 'west' from עֶרֶב (erev) 'evening'. West is sometimes abbreviated as W. Navigation To go west using a compass for navigati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
