Benjamin James Sealey - An attacking, middle-order batsman, a medium-pace, leg-break bowler and an athletic fielder anywhere on the pitch, Ben Sealey’s career spanned the years 1924 to 1941. Despite once turning out for a ‘Barbados Born’ side against the Rest of West Indies, he was a Trinidad player through and through. He was born on the Caribbean island at St. Joseph on August 12, 1899 and died at Port-of-Spain, Trinidad on September 12, 1963, aged 64. He was into his mid-twenties by the time his first-class career started but in 1933 he was selected to tour England with a West Indian team captained by G.C. Grant. His tour was both busy, in terms of matches played, and reasonably successful with both bat and ball. From twenty-two first-class matches – he also played in 12 minor matches – Sealey scored 1,072 runs at an average of 39.70 and took 19 wickets at 38.15 apiece. He was picked to play in the third and final Test of the series, the only Test of his career, and was West Indies' top scorer in the first innings, hitting 29 from a total of 100. He added a further 12 runs for the visitors in their second innings and took one wicket, that of A.H. Bakewell, for a total of 10 runs in England’s only innings. His various times at the crease in England and Wales produced three scores over a century; 103 against Worcestershire at Worcester, 105 not out against Glamorgan at Swansea and 106 not out against the Army at Aldershot. But the highest score of his career came at Bridgetown, in January 1939 when he hit 116 against the hosts to help Trinidad to a victory by an innings and 19 runs. With the ball, he twice took five wickets in an innings; five for 22 at Bridgetown for Trinidad against Barbados in January 1932 and five for 26 at Port-of-Spain for Trinidad against the touring M.C.C. in January 1935. His death in 1963 went unreported at the time and therefore no obituary appeared within the covers of Wisden for Sealey.
