Career
A middle-order batsman who became an opener later in his career, Lashley played domestic cricket for Barbados from 1958 to 1975.[1] His top score was 204 against Guyana in 1966-67.[2]
Lashley toured Australia in 1960-61 and England in 1966 with the West Indian team, but was not able to establish himself in the Test side.[3] Geoffrey Boycott stated that Lashley was the worst bowler ever to dismiss him in Test cricket – Boycott was his only Test victim, in the Fourth Test at Leeds in 1966.[4][5]
