Ridley Jacobs Announces his Retirement
WI wk batsman R.Jacobs announced his retitrement from International Cricket and the decision was made after WI won the 4th ODI yo sqaure the series 2-2.
Courteny Browne has been his replacement. Jacobs service to WI cricket has been superb a loyal servant indeed. Here r his stats.
Ridley Jacobs
West Indies
Full name Ridley Detamore Jacobs
Born November 26, 1967, Swetes Village, Antigua
Current age 37 years 167 days
Major teams West Indies, Leeward Islands
Batting style Left-hand bat
Fielding position Wicketkeeper
Profile:
Jacobs was West Indies' one success story of the late 1990s. A wicketkeeper and left-hand bat, he hailed from Swetes, the same Antiguan village as Curtly Ambrose, but had to wait until his 31st birthday for his Test debut, which came against South Africa in 1998-99. Jacobs's relish for fast bowling helped him top the batting averages on that unhappy tour, and three years later he notched his maiden Test century against the same opponents in Barbados, and scored two more after that - the second of which kept England's bowlers away from the West Indian tail as Brian Lara went about scoring his 400. Given a true pitch, Jacobs could be compelling viewing, unleashing booming strokes off either foot from a high backlift, but quality spin tended to tie him in knots. His batting, if inelegant, became more consistent and he was a valuable source of runs for West Indies. However, his glovework started to fail him and his form fell away dramatically in England in 2004

Why would he announce his retirement before the series got over? He could have done if after the 5th ODI!
