Terrence Hinds
Known as a no-nonsense and dangerous batsman on the local windball circuit for many years, allrounder Terrance Hinds announced himself on the First-Class cricket scene in 2020 when he struck an impressive 102 not out off just 76 balls against Leeward Islands Hurricanes in a West Indies four-day Championship match at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Tarouba. Hinds' feat was made all the more impressive as it was only his second game at that level for TT Red Force.
"I started off with windball first. That was my first love in terms of sports," Hinds said, during an interview on September 7. "I wasn't making enough money at the time, so I was playing a lot of windball (cricket)."
Hinds said the performance was a special one for him, and the significance of the moment seemed to grow with each wicket as the allrounder celebrated by paying tribute to loved ones who had passed away. After each wicket, Hinds made a gesture with his hands, before pointing to the heavens.
"I lost my sister, my uncle, my mum and my grandmother to covid19," he said. "I have a tattoo of their initials on my fingers. I do that for them. That's where the celebration came from."
