Ron Fanfare of Share writes of former Canadian player Clem Niblett who passed away last week:-

“Neblett captained Canada on a 10-day tour of Ireland in 1981 and was a member of the national side that toured Jamaica three years later and the TDCA squad that hosted Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1995. He also participated in the 1982 and 1986 International Cricket Council (ICC) Trophy tournaments in England, leading the team in the latter competition to five wins in eight matches.

“Clem led the guys by example on that tour,” said Cricket Canada’s general secretary, Calvin Clarke, who was the team’s assistant manager.” He gave 100 per cent and when guys were down on and off the field, he lifted them. He was a natural leader.”

Reflecting on his career after retirement 22 years ago, Neblett – who was the TDCA premier division top wicket-taker in 1985 with 26 (av. 12.69) – singled out innings of 161 against East Bank in 1973 and 80 that led Grace Church past Overseas in the 1986 premier division semi-finals as his most memorable batting performances. Needing 206 for victory in 100 minutes and 20 overs, Police reached the target for the loss of one wicket.
He has said that his only regret at the time was that he had aged too quickly.”
