Raphael Wallace

Raphael Hugh Oswald Wallace (born 29 May 1957) is a former Nevisian cricketer who played several matches with the Leeward Islands in West Indian domestic cricket. From Charlestown, the island's capital and largest town, Wallace regularly represented Nevis in inter-island matches, playing from the late 1970s through to the late 1980s.[2] A right-arm fast bowler, he made his first-class debut for the Leewards during the 1979–80 season, in the semi-annual matches against the Windward Islands.[3] In the match, played at the Antigua Recreation Ground, Wallace took 2/33 in the Windwards' first innings, but in the second innings went wicketless, also scoring six runs without losing his wicket.[4] He did not play any further matches at first-class level, but several seasons later played twice for the team in the limited-overs Geddes Grant/Harrison Line Trophy.[5] Wallace took a single wicket in a match against Barbados in February 1984, and two wickets against the same team just over a year later, opening the bowling with Conrad Bartlette.[6][7] His brother, Leon Claxton, also played representative cricket for Nevis,[8] and his son, Philo Wallace, currently plays for Nevisian under-age teams.[9][10]
