The youngest of ten children, Dave Mohammed is an accurate, attacking chinaman and a positive batsman, to boot. After only three first-class matches he was named in the West Indies squad for the third Test against South Africa in March, 2001, but had to wait until December 2003 for his debut, against the same opponents. Though he didn't cover himself with glory his three wickets in the first innings - including two in seven balls - made an impact for a West Indian bowling attack that battled throughout the tour. After an unremarkable second Test against England the same year, he was out of the side until 2006. He had only moderate bowling success against India and Pakistan, although his aggressive, counter-attacking 52 at St John's steered West Indies to a dramatic draw with India. Mohammed's first-class form, though rarely devastating, has been consistent, and he earned his first international call-up for nearly two years when he was named in the ODI squad for the tri-series in Canada in August 2008. His international career stalled after that but Mohammed was part of the Stanford Superstars team that beat England in the winner-takes-all US$ 20 million Twenty20 match against England.
