Livingstone Lawrence Lawrence (born 5 November 1962) is a former Nevisian cricketer who played for the Leeward Islands in West Indian domestic cricket. He played as a right-handed opening batsman.
Lawrence made his first-class debut for the Leewards during the 1983–84 Shell Shield season.[1] In the last match of the season, he scored a maiden first-class hundred, 118 runs against Trinidad and Tobago.[2] Lawrence finished his debut Shell Shield season with 328 runs, behind only Ralston Otto for the Leewards,[3] and the following season was bested by only Luther Kelly and Enoch Lewis amongst his teammates.[4] At the end of the 1984–85 season, he was selected for a West Indies under-23s to play the touring New Zealanders, and, opening the batting with Phil Simmons, went on to top score for his side with 79 runs.[5]
At the beginning of the 1986–87 season, after further good form, Lawrence was selected in a West Indies B team to tour Zimbabwe, playing four first-class matches and five limited-overs games. He had little luck in the multi-day matches, but in the third one-day game scored a maiden List A century, 117 not out.[6] Although a regular in the Leewards team throughout the rest of the 1980s and into the early 1990s, Lawrence never again played at a higher level, ending his career after the 1993–94 season. He finished with a first-class batting average of 29.82 and a List A average of 28.39.[7]
