Teeth incident

John Maynard attributed the origins of his nickname "The Dentist", to an incident when playing for Nevis against Antigua:

There was this bloke playing for Antigua called Zorah Barthley, [sic] who was the West Indies youth team captain... First thing in the morning he nicks one but the umps didn't send him on his way, and that wound me up a bit. And so the next ball was four yards quicker than anything I've ever bowled. He shaped to hook, and his teeth went flying all over the place, and it was a funny old sight. But he was the man who made the Dentist really. I couldn't have done it without him.[4]
