Former West Indies cricket star Tino Best has revealed he slept with over 500 women in a tell-all autobiography that delves into the sex lives of him and his teammates.
Best, who is considered one of the game’s top players published an extract from the book, ‘Mind The Windows: My Story’ in MailOnline to offer audiences a teaser of what’s to come.
There is no doubt the book is eye-opening but perhaps not in the way Best intends.
Written in first person, Best jokingly admits to calling himself the ‘black Brad Pitt’ as he details the nauseating extent of his playboy lifestyle.
“Sometimes I’d take back four girls on one night! If that happened, I’d have to call one of the other lads for back-up to help me out,” Best said.
The shocking nature of how casually he speaks about women is then cemented when he discusses the number of those involved.
“Everywhere I went as a cricketer, I’d talk to girls, date girls and sleep with girls. I reckon I’ve slept with anywhere between 500 and 650 girls, all around the world,” he said.
The autobiography may read as an extended version of a pub brag but it also reveals the shallow vulnerability of a man who used sexual exploits as a way to build respect.
“I was the new kid on the block and I felt like I’d get points from the boys when I pulled a girl. It was a way of getting more respect and showing I was the man,” Best said.
Best also detailed the hardship he faced when the relationship with his child’s mother broke down.

I wonder how many kids he has out there. Odds are...
Don't care how many women he has slept with if it was safe and consensual. However, I do wonder why people think it's something to brag about? When you're 65 is that what you look back at and are proud of ? It's not really an achievement. Want to brag about how many degrees you have? Great! Want to brag about how many successful cricket matches you've played? Awesome! But sleeping with 500 people sounds like he is overcompensating for the fact his first love left him.
