   lawrence george rowe (born 8 january 1949) is a former west indian cricketer. lawrence, also known as "yagga", was an elegant right-handed batsman described by michael holding, his team mate, as "the best batsman i ever saw". it was felt that his ability was so extraordinary that sobers believed he could have been the greatest of all west indian batsmen. at one game rowe hit a ball so cleanly that it followed a level trajectory like a guided missile over the boundary for six. gideon haigh describes the incident: early in his innings against england at kensington oval, bridgetown, barbados, in march 1974, he received a bouncer from bob willis. he smashed it flat into the stand at square leg; it travelled most of the way at head height.
