Who is Colin Hamer?

Colin Keville Hamer is a Sint Maarten cricketer who played a single first-class match for the Leeward Islands during the 2005–06 season. Born in Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, Hamer emigrated to Sint Maarten with his family at an early age, learning to play cricket on the island. In August 2005, he played several matches for the Leeward Islands under-19 team, which included a haul 3/35 in a one-day match against the Guyana under-19s. Hamer, a right-arm leg spinner, made his first-class debut for the Leewards in late January 2006, against Barbados in the Carib Beer Cup. In the match, played at the Addelita Cancryn Junior High School Ground in Charlotte Amalie, he took 1/70 in the first innings and 2/29 in the second innings, which included the wicket of Test cricketer Ryan Hinds. Although he did not play any further matches for the Leewards, Hamer was the first cricketer from Sint Maarten to play at first-class level.
