Tony White was a middle-order batsman and off-spinner who played for Barbados from 1958 to 1965–66. He toured England with the West Indian team in 1963 without playing in the Tests, joining the side midway through the tour as a back-up for the injured Willie Rodriguez.[1]
White played his two Tests against the Australians in 1964–65. In the First Test he top-scored with 57 not out in the first innings, after coming in with the score at 149 for 6 and taking the total to 239 all out. He also took three cheap wickets in a 179-run victory.[2] But he failed to take a wicket off 52 overs in the drawn Second Test, scored only 7 and 4, and was replaced by Seymour Nurse for the Third Test.
White's best first-class bowling figures were 6 for 80 against Trinidad in 1960–61. His highest score was 75 against British Guiana in the final of the Pentangular Tournament in 1961–62, when he also scored 54 in the second innings and took four wickets in a losing cause.[3]
After his cricket career, White lived in Venezuela for many years,[4] before returning to live in Marine Gardens, Christ Church, Barbados, where he died on 16 August 2023, at the age of 84.[5][6]
