Eric Atkinson

Template:Infobox Historic Cricketer Eric St Eval Atkinson (6 November, 1927 – 29 May, 1998) played eight Tests for the West Indies. He was the younger brother of Denis Atkinson, and the two were the third pair of brothers to turn out together for the West Indies. Atkinson was primarily a seam bowler, taking 25 wickets in his one-year Test career. His best Test bowling figures came in a series against Pakistan in 1957–58, where he took five for 42 in the first innings of the second Test — before Garry Sobers hit a Test record 365 not out and Pakistan went down by an innings and 174 runs.
