The West Indies batsman Runako Morton has died following a car accident in Trinidad on Sunday night. Reports in the Caribbean said the 33-year-old lost control of his vehicle while driving and was killed when he crashed into a utility pole.
Morton played in 15 Tests and 56 one-day internationals for West Indies, and his last appearance for his country came against Australia in a Twenty20 international in 2010. While he averaged 22.03 in Tests, he had more success in the limited-overs game. He averaged 33.75, with the highlight an unbeaten 110 against New Zealand in 2006.
A sudden departed but not left.
May your light keep burning,may those shimmering balls keep rolling receive his blessing with fulfilment.
R.I.P RUNAKO GONE WAY TO SOON MY BROTHER….CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY, GOD IS IN CONTROL!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so sad over this news. RIP Morton. Gone too soon
When people die we hear more lies… Especially Dominicans….I wish the dead person could hear the amount of lies being said about them. So because the dead person cannot hear, blatant lies are just being reverberated. Sarttee marteee! Stop that rubbish. Trah boi!
R.I.P.Trini.Unquestionably,your style of calypso cricket will be remembered.
Runako was born in Nevis. His connection to Trinidad is by marriage.
RIP Runako. Life cannot be taken for granted.

That is sad. Gone to soon bro. R.I.P…. Pray God for you wife and Kids.
Soo Sad…
R.I.P. Runako. You were a great batsman. We will forever remember you.
I am sad that he died, but don’t give him praise he does not deserve. He was not a great batsman. As a player he was an under-achiever.
Really, really sad news
OMG!
RIP Runoko Morton. You gave your all on the field for West Indies cricket. i will always remember you for the Champions Trophy 2002 when you asked to return for the death of your grandmother who was very much alive.
Condolences to his Wife and family
