Reference excerpt

Stuart Clayton Williams (born August 12, 1969) is a former West Indian cricketer. One of the opening batsmen tried after the retirement of Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes, Williams was a batsman who may have not demonstrated his true potential as an opening batsman, may have been better suited to lower down the order.

Domestic career While playing first class cricket in the West Indies domestic competition he fractured a finger which later became infected and had to be amputated. He returned to First-class cricket the following year (2005) and topped his team's batting average with 339 runs at 54.83. This was his final season and he subsequently retired. In June 2018, he was named as one of the two team coaches of the Cricket West Indies B Team squad for the inaugural edition of the Global T20 Canada tournament.

International career Williams scored one test century and three half centuries in a career spanning eight years from 1994 to 2002. Prolific at First Class level, he was a joy to watch though his innings in test cricket were all too brief despite flashes of brilliant stroke play. His lone century, a gutsy 128 on a deteriorating Port of Spain wicket, helped draw the second Test against India in 1997. It proved a fateful innings as the West Indies went on to win the series 1–0. Later that season, Williams (83) and Sherwin Campbell (79) added 160 for the first wicket in a successful fourth innings chase of 189 against Sri Lanka at St Johns. It remains the second highest fourth innings opening stand for the West Indies, the fourth highest in a winning run chase and the 12th highest in Test history. The team won the series 1–0. Williams and Campbell formed the Caribbean team's sixth most successful opening pair in Tests at the time, yielding 868 runs over 27 innings. They have since been bumped down to tenth. Following a three-year absence from Test cricket, he forced his way back into the team by topping the 2002 Busta Cup averages with 722 runs at 72.20. It would prove a false dawn as he managed just 91 runs in three Tests against the visiting Indians, bringing the curtain down on his Test career at age 32. His final Test average of 24.14 fell well below his First Class mark of 40.67. Williams found more success in ODIs, tallying 1586 runs at an average of 32. A purple patch of 677 runs in 11 games during the 1997/98 season carried him to a career best of 16th in the ICC Rankings though his form declined afterwards. His streak included innings of 76, 78*, 90, 5, 26, 75, 77, 22, 105*, 55 and 68. He along with Shivnarine Chanderpaul set the record for the highest ever opening stand for West Indies in ODIs(200*) It has since been overtaken.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Stuart Williams (cricketer)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Stuart Williams (cricketer) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Stuart Williams (cricketer) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Stuart Williams (cricketer) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Stuart Williams (cricketer)

In research: Stuart Williams (cricketer) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Stuart Williams (cricketer) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Stuart Williams (cricketer) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1969 births, Amputees, Cricketers at the 1999 Cricket World Cup, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Stuart Williams (cricketer) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
