Allan Rae was a specialist batsman, who made just over 1,000 Test runs in his five-year career, including four centuries. He also had a famous opening partnership alongside Trinidadian batsman Jeffrey Stollmeyer with the duo averaging a lofty 71 in their 13 tests as a pair. His Test batting average of 46.18 was considerably higher than his first-class average of 39.65, despite his 17 centuries at first-class level and a highest score of 179. He later became president of the West Indies Cricket Board from 1981 to 1988. His father, Ernest Rae, toured England with the West Indies team in 1928.[1][2]
Domestic careeredit
Rae was also the first batsman to score a century in each innings of a West Indian first class cricket tournament.[3]
