First-Class Matches West Indies 1989/90 to 1998/99

32 West Indies in 1990/91 Haynes maintained his batting form over the first class season as a whole, ending with a total of 1,066 runs at an average of 76.14, thereby becoming only the fourth home player to reach 1000 runs in a home season – after Garry Sobers, Roy Fredericks (who did it twice) and Lawrence Rowe (the last to do it before Haynes, in 1973/74). Among the bowlers, Malcolm Marshall (Barbados) and Patrick Patterson (Jamaica) both took 43 wickets in the season, with Marshall’s average of 17.95 well ahead of Patterson’s 22.16. Clyde Butts played no first-class cricket outside the Red Stripe competition, and his 26 wickets left him only in fifth place among the home bowlers in the season’s wicket-takers list. But he was still the only spinner among the nine home bowlers to take 20 or more wickets across the season as a whole. There was no sign yet of pace-bowling losing its supremacy.
