About Hammond Furlonge

  • Hammond Allen Furlonge (born June 19, 1934, Apex Oilfields, near Fyzabad, Trinidad) was a West Indian cricketer who played in three Tests between 1955 and 1956. He made his first-class debut for Trinidad in 1954-55, opening the batting with Jeff Stollmeyer.
  • In his third match, against the touring Australians, he scored 57 and 150 not out.
  • He was included in the team for the Fifth Test, opening with John Holt, and making 4 and 28. He toured New Zealand with the West Indies team in 1955-56.
  • He failed to score in the Second Test, but returned for the Fourth Test when he top-scored in the first innings with 64 in a total of 145 all out in a low-scoring match, New Zealand's first Test victory.
  • Dick Brittenden said of this innings that Furlonge's "accentuated two-eyed stance should have made him especially vulnerable to the seamers, but he played with skill and a stout heart for 210 minutes".He played a few more matches for Trinidad over the next six seasons, scoring 106 and 45 against Barbados in 1960-61 (his only game as captain), and played his last first-class match in 1961-62. His brothers Carl and Kenneth also played for Trinidad.
  • The one match they all played together was the one against Barbados when Hammond captained the side.
