George Alphonso HeadleyOD (30 May 1909 – 30 November 1983) was a West Indiancricketer who played 22 Test matches, mostly before the Second World War. Considered one of the best batsmen to play for West Indies and one of the greatest cricketers of all time, Headley also represented Jamaica and played professional club cricket in England. West Indies had a weak cricket team through most of Headley's playing career; as their one world-class player, he carried a heavy responsibility and the side depended on his batting. He batted at number three, scoring 2,190 runs in Tests at an average of 60.83, and 9,921 runs in all first-class matches at an average of 69.86. He was chosen as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1934.
Headley was born in Panama but raised in Jamaica where he quickly established a cricketing reputation as a batsman. He soon gained his place in the Jamaican cricket team, and narrowly missed selection for the West Indies tour of England in 1928. He made his Test debut in 1930, against England in Barbados, and was instantly successful. Further successes followed in series against Australia and in three more against England, as Headley dominated the West Indian batting of the period. Following his tour of England in 1933, Headley signed as a professional at Haslingden in the Lancashire League, where he played until the outbreak of war in 1939.

"The black Bradman", George Headley was unstoppable at every level of the game, making runs with a style and brilliance few have ever matched, and setting the standards for generations of West Indian players to follow.
He was the first cricketing star for Jamaica and single-handedly put his small island on the West Indies cricket map, traditionally dominated by Trinidadian and Barbadian cricketers uptill then.
Before the war cruelly cut short a blossoming career, Headley appeared in 19 Tests and scored his runs at a staggering average if 66.71. He played three Tests after the War, but was clearly a shadow of his former self, yet managed to finish his career with the fourth highest career batting average of all time.
