Former West Indies batsman Seymour Nurse has died at the age of 85 after a long illness. Barbados-born Nurse made his Test debut against England in 1960 and was a powerful middle-order batsman and top-class fielder.
Nurse, who was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1967, scored 2,523 runs in 29 Tests at an average of 47.60. He finished his Test career by making 258 against New Zealand at Christchurch in 1969 - the highest score by a cricketer in his final Test innings.
