Reon King
Wisden CricInfo staff - June 22, 2001

Wisden overview
An athletic paceman from Guyana with a slinky run sometimes compared to Michael Holding's. Bowls through that run rather than setting himself at the crease, but still has the capacity to be West Indies' fastest bowler of the moment. King enjoyed a successful home season in 1999-2000, taking his first Test five-for against Zimbabwe in Jamaica. Two months later, after setting up a tight win over Pakistan, he and Franklyn Rose seemed almost ready to succeed Ambrose and Walsh. But both fell away during the 2000 tour of England, where King was said to be troubled by a heel injury. An introverted character and a genuine No. 10. Simon Briggs
