"...if judged merely on statistics, Seymour Nurse was among the very best batsmen of any era, and on the cusp of greatness. In 29 Test matches, he scored 2,523 runs, including six centuries, for an average of 47.60. His first-class career spanned 141 matches, with 26 centuries and an average of 43.93.
But statistics weren’t all that defined Nurse. Even in a 1960s team that boasted batting talent of Garfield Sobers, Rohan Kamahi and Conrad Hunte, Nurse was an exciting and exquisite player, whose powerful build belied the rapier delicacy with which he wielded his bat. Deft, wristy turns off his legs, through mid wicket or backward of square, were executed with Pythagorean precision. His late cuts left wicketkeepers gaping and in wonder.
