Re: Windies
The West Indies batsman Runako Morton has died following a car accident in Trinidad on Sunday night. Reports in the Caribbean said the 33-year-old lost control of his vehicle while driving and was killed when he crashed into a utility pole. Morton played in 15 Tests and 56 one-day internationals for West Indies, and his last appearance for his country came against Australia in a Twenty20 international in 2010. While he averaged 22.03 in Tests he had more success in the limited-overs game. He averaged 33.75, with the highlight an unbeaten 110 against New Zealand in 2006.
The president of the West Indies Cricket Board, Dr Julian Hunte, said: "Runako's passing, still in the prime of life, leaves us all in shock. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends as we all try to come to terms with his loss.
"He will be remembered as a fierce competitor on the field who gave no quarter whether he was playing for West Indies, Leeward Islands, Nevis or Trinidad & Tobago."
Several of Morton's team-mates paid tribute on Twitter. The former Windies captain, Chris Gayle, said: "We lost a True Warrior. WI cricketer Runako Morton – may his soul rest in peace! Our memories together Live On! My condolences to his family."
The former all-rounder Wavell Hinds tweeted: "Gone far too soon brother Runako. I will treasure the great memories for sure. RIP God knows best," while Rayad Emrit, who played with Morton for Trinidad, said: "RIP Morton. You'll always be remembered buddy. Gone but NEVER forgotten. We miss you bro." The England batsman Kevin Pietersen added: "My thoughts go out to Runako Morton's family this morning ... such sad news!! What a lovely guy and fierce competitor!! RIP bossman!!!"When its hot in the jungle of peace I go swimming in the ocean of love..... -
