West Indies World Cup winner Bernard Julien passes away

TRINIDAD: Former all-rounder and a key player in the West Indies’ maiden World Cup triumph in 1975, Bernard Julien has died at the age of 75 in Valsayn, a town in Northern Trinidad. 

Julien represented the region across 24 Tests and 12 ODIs from 1973 to 1977. He scored 866 runs and picked up 50 wickets in the longer format of the game.

His last appearance for the West Indies came against Pakistan in 1977, a match which ended in a draw.

His notable performance was in the 1975 World Cup, where he produced back-to-back impressive bowling spells against Sri Lanka and New Zealand, respectively.

First, he took a four-wicket haul against the Islanders in the group stage fixtures and then followed it by another four-fer against the BlackCaps in the all-important semi-final.

Besides his bowling, he also showcased his prowess with the bat in the final against Australia, scoring 26 off 37 balls.

The President of Cricket West Indies (CWI), Dr Kishore Shallow, expressed sorrow and offered condolences to his friends and family members.

“To the family, friends, and loved ones of Bernard Julien, we extend our deepest condolences. His passing reminds us that a life devoted to purpose never truly leaves us.

Cricket West Indies stands with you in this moment of loss, and we hope Bernard knew he was valued and loved by the cricketing family he helped to shape, and that he found peace knowing his contribution will always endure,” the statement read.

West Indies legend Clive Lloyd also mourned the all-rounder’s loss and hailed his services for cricket.

“He always gave you over 100 percent. He never shirked his duties, and I could always rely on him with bat and ball. He gave his all every time. What a fine cricketer.”
“We all had total respect for him,” Lloyd said. “He enjoyed himself and was loved by everyone around. I remember we won the Test match at Lords and stood there and signed autographs for a long time, He was good for us and was held in high regard everywhere we went,” Clive Lloyd recalled.
