A West Indian cricketer who died in 2002, was only aged 33. Laurie had plenty of success in first-class cricket but only played a few ODI games for West Indies from 1996 -2001. A right-arm medium-fast bowler, Laurie did well in the 15 ODIs he played. Notably, Laurie was driving a car when he had to swerve due to a damaged road on his side, but in the process, he crashed into an oncoming bus.

Speaking of Laurie's career, the West Indian got 18 wickets and made 124 runs from his 15 ODI appearances. His best bowling figures were 3/16 and his highest ODI score was 41. His bowling was made for seam and swing conditions, where in contrast to his peers at the time, they were predominantly fast bowlers.
