| Saturday, 20 July, 2002, 15:16 GMT 16:16 UK Clive Lloyd: Man behind the moustache ![]() Lloyd is a former captain and coach of West Indies Former West Indies captain Lloyd, the ICC match referee for the forthcoming Test series between England and India, gave an insight into his private life to Jamie Theakston's Cricket Show. Q: What was your best moment in cricket? A: There are many: your first Test is always an aim as a youngster, your first Test century and the first win as captain. Actually captaining the West Indies was a crowning moment. Another was winning the first World Cup and scoring a hundred in the final - that was another first. Q: Who was your cricketing idol? A: Lance Gibbs was my cousin so he was really a spur for me. I also admired Garfield Sobers so they were two great icons to look up to. Q: Tell us something we don't know about Clive Lloyd.
They think that I'm aloof because I don't smile but when they get to know me they see a different side. Q: Who are your favourite groups or singers? A: I like to listen to mood music like Johnny Mathis, Diana Ross, Nat King Cole but also Frank Sinatra and Bryan Adams. Q: Who were the musical wannabees in the West Indies dressing room? A: Ambrose is a bit of a musician and Richie Richardson liked his guitar but I'm not sure if they were really top class. Other guys like Brendon Julian were quite musical; they were big on reggae and calypso music. Q: If you were part of the West Indies et-up now what would you do differently? A: You have to start again with an academy and you have to say to players they will be paid by performance for starters. You have to have some incentive for them to be more effective. Q: Which famous people would you invite to a dinner party?
And Michael Jordan, just to find out what makes him tick to come back and do it all again. |
