Wayne Wendell Daniel (b. St Philip Parish, Barbados, 16 January, 1956) played 10 Tests and 18 One Day Internationals for the West Indies.

A hostile and muscular fast bowler, Daniel seemed assured of a long and potent test career when he, in partnership with the lithe Michael Holding and the brooding Andy Roberts, battered England into submission in 1976. Although Holding and Roberts resumed their test careers after the World Series Cricket interregnum Daniel was less fortunate as Malcolm Marshall and Courtney Walsh came to the fore. Daniel found himself in the international wilderness at a time when the West Indies were awash with fast bowling talent.

'Diamond' was left to carve out a superb first-class career with Middlesex between 1977 and 1988. His 867 wickets at an average of just 22.47 with a best of 9 for 61 are due reward for his tremendous pace, hunger and durability. In an era when every county, except Yorkshire, seemed to have its own West Indian paceman, Daniel was one of the very best. He also took another 362 wickets at a mere average of 18.16 in 241 one day games. He wasn't quite as terrifying as Sylvester Clarke, nor as skilled as Malcolm Marshall, but he was a great fast bowler and Mike Brearley's flawless reputation for captaincy owed much to Daniel's tireless threat.

His run up was idiosyncratic but he bowled with an excellent action, bending his back and then following through half way down the pitch to deliver an endless succession of 'heavy' balls which clattered into the batsman's splice or ribs. A jovial man off the field of play with a playful reputation, Daniel enjoyed his long years at Middlesex as much as his team mates and the crowd revelled in his company.

Daniel played for Western Australia in the 1981-82 season and for his native Barbados between 1976 and 1985.
