Yep, the batsman doesn't look to have anymore ability than the bowler.

Tassie had a few whose winter fitness regime included regular counter meals with a few pints at various pubs around the state.
The summer fitness regime was quite different. Regular counter meals with a few pints at various pubs around the country.

He was the first one which sprung to my mind too.
He could play. Scored 181 in a session of a Shield match while playing for WA.

Exciting news for Pakistan keeper Azam Khan, who is rumoured to be in the mix for Friday's T20 opener against New Zealand, with Mohammad Rizwan to play as a specialist batter.
A wicket keeper no less. That's quite impressive at that size.

Skinniest cricketers? This guy, for sure.
Ajit Agarkar started out on the slender side of slim, didn't he? Unless the wrong name came into my head for the image I had.
Barely an appetiser had some of the others mentioned tuned to cannibalism.
edit: yes, Tyberious Funk , Shivaramakrishnan was another who came to mind

Not completely related, but how about a "Phattest XI" of your favourite Caribbean stars?

Was he thin enough at the start, though? Old footage shows him slim, but nothing out of the ordinary; his dating Liz Hurley days may see him qualify, though.

Not the start, but in his diuretic taking stage

At least he looked thin on TV...
lol now you’re challenging me.
How can 100 go into 11?
Ok based purely on my favourites, and I’ve limited it to players I’ve seen, and not necessarily on quality per se. If it was based on players who fascinate me that I’ve heard stories about there would be others like Sylvester Clarke and obviously Sobers etc.
1. The Universe Boss. He’s cool. He’s destructive. No one has ever hit the ball harder. He’s arrogant. He could actually play. And the absolute disdain he had for bowling was just on another level.
2. Sherwin Campbell. He wasn’t even that good I just always liked him for some reason, and he played two really good knocks against Australia. And he had a cool name.
3. Viv. Pretty self explanatory.
4. Brian Charles Lara. My favourite sportsman of all time. Even now when I am bored or feeling down or whatever I will watch a doco on YouTube about him and immediately feel better. Stuck it up the Aussies and mastered the best bowlers of a generation.
5. Carl Hooper. Everything Carl did was in slow motion whether it was batting, bowling or fielding. Even his regular brain snaps seemed to happen slowly and I loved him and forgave him for it. Being black as the ace of spades made him even cooler.
6. Ritchie. The hat. The 8-9 centuries against Australia. The destruction of quick bowling. The SS Jumbo. The fact that he is in a band called Big Bad Dread and The Bald Head
7. Ridley Jacobs. Anyone of that build who can fashion a test career behind the stumps has my vote. Plus he was actually a good tough cricketer in an era when we were really in need of them.
8. Jase. I love the big guy. His 200 against England is my favourite non-Lara/Gayle innings by a West Indian since I’ve been following cricket. Absolutely brained a team that I love watching be smashed. His bowling is smart and consistent. In better times and with more regular test cricket I believe his record would be up there with the best all rounders there’s been
9. Ian Bishop. Could have been anything without his back injury. Rated for a while as maybe the quickest in the world but couldn’t stay on the park. Was genuine quality. Great commentator, great guy, has a heart for West Indies cricket.
10. Ambrose. Perhaps the best pure bowler from all the ones I’ve watched as I only really saw Marshall play 1-2 tests. You couldn’t build a better bowler and he plays in a band called Big Bad Dread and The Bald Head.
11. Patrick Patterson. Dujon I think said that he slapped the gloves harder than anyone else he ever kept to. Some of the Windies teammates said he was the scariest. No less a player than Graham Gooch said that he was the one player that genuinely scared him. He was mysterious and different and that fascinates me.
12th: Fidel Edwards: I loved watching Fiddy. He charged in as quick as he could, bowled as quick as he could, unapologetically just bowling f***ing fast. He had few other assets - he was 5’5, couldn’t seam or bounce the ball, and couldn’t bat but he was a wicket taker. And I loved it.
Honorable mentions to Marlon Samuels who I loved, Shiv who obviously I loved, and Jimmy Adams who wrung the most he could out of very little ability.

My favourites, of guys I've seen, would include Larry Gomes, Malcolm Marshall and Shic Chanderpaul
