What Collis King is up to these days

Collis King would be best remembered for being the batsman at the other end as Viv Richards blazed away in the 1979 World Cup Final at Lord's. It's more than a quarter of a century since he last played for the West Indies, and he's now in his fifties, but last weekend he turned up in central Queensland for a seven-a-side cricket competition.

ABC Local Radio in Wide Bay has a story on their website about the 22nd annual seven-a-side cricket carnival at Mundubbera. King was captain of a team called the Nixon Nuffies.

He can be heard on the audio report which accompanies the ABC story.
