Clive Hubert Lloyd (born 31 August 1944) is a retired West Indies cricketer.
In 1971, he was named Wisden Cricketer of the Year.
He captained the West Indies from 1974 to 1985 and oversaw their meteoric rise to become the most dominant Test-playing nation, a position that was only restored in the latter half of the 1990s.
He was one of the most respected Test captains of all time: during his captaincy, the team lost 27 matches without losing, with 11 of those winning, including 11 in succession (Viv Richards served as captain for one of the 27 matches against Australia in 1983–84).
He was the first West Indian player to receive 100 international caps.
Lloyd captained the West Indies in three World Cups, winning in 1975 (with Lloyd scoring a century) and 1979, when losing the 1983 final to India. Lloyd was a long, strong middle-order batsman and occasional medium-pace bowler.
He was also a good cover point fielder in his youth.
As a result of being poked in the eye by a king, he wore his famous glasses.
In 1966, he made his Test match debut.
Lloyd completed 7,515 runs at Test level, an average of 46.67.
In his Test career, he scored 706 eggs, his 14th highest number of any player.
In West Indies domestic cricket, he represented Guyana and Lancashire, and in England (he was named captain in 1981) in England.
He is Lance Gibbs' cousin.
Lloyd has been heavily involved in cricket, assisting the West Indies in the late 1990s, teaching and commentating since retiring as a player.
From 2001 to 2006, he served as an ICC match referee. Lloyd was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2009.
Personal life
Lloyd is a fan of Everton FC, an English football team.
Career
Lloyd made his Test debut against India on December 13, 1966. In the first innings, he scored 82 runs and 78 not out in the second.
Lloyd suffered a back injury while playing for a Rest of the World team in Canberra from 1971–72. Ashley Mallett was fielding in the covers when he received a high-speed push into his city. He made an effort to retrieve the ball, but it fell out of his hands as he stepped awkwardly on the ground. He had a stabbing pain in his back and was unable to move when he stood up. He spent the next few weeks in a hospital bed in Adelaide on his back.
The West Indies were seriously injured at 3/50 when Lloyd strode to the crease in the 1975 Cricket World Cup Final against Australia. He made 102 from 85 balls, the only restricted overs international century of his career. Rohan Kanhai led the West Indies to victory by 17 runs with 149. At 8:40 p.m., the longest day's play at Lord's came to an end.
Lloyd was appointed an Honour Officer of the Order of Australia in 1985 for his contributions to the game of cricket, particularly in connection with his unsurpassed and positive influence on the game in Australia.
Lloyd donated his support to Major League Cricket for their inaugural Interstate Cricket Cup in the United States in 2005, winning the Sir Clive Lloyd Cup. Jason Clive Lloyd, his uncle, is a goalkeeper for Guyana's national football team. Supercat, Lloyd's approved biography, was published in 2007. It was written by cricket journalist Simon Lister.
Lloyd was granted a knighthood at a investiture service at Windsor Castle in 2022.
Clive is regarded as one of the greatest captains of the game in history.
