Who was Joey Carew?

Michael Conrad "Joey" Carew was a West Indian cricketer who played in 19 Tests from 1963 to 1972.

An opening batsman and leg-spin bowler, Carew's sole Test century came against New Zealand at Eden Park in 1969. The previous year he put on 119 for the first wicket with Steve Camacho against England at Queen's Park Oval. Carew captained Trinidad and Tobago and was the first man to take the side to back-to-back Shell Shield titles. Carew went on to serve as a selector for West Indies cricket for 20 years, in three separate stints, retiring from the post in 2006. He died aged 73 from arteriosclerosis.
