One of the greatest batsman to ever play for the West Indies, Haynes formed a formidable partnership with Gordon Greenidge in Test cricket which was integral to the success of the West Indies cricket team of the 1980s. Between them they managed 16 century stands, 4 in excess of 200. Haynes, in contrariety to Greenidge's belligerence with the bat, favoured a more measured approach to batting. However, he still managed a redoubtable 7487 runs in 116 matches at an average of 42.29 and until recently held a number of records in one-day cricket, including most runs and most centuries.

Like most West Indian openers, Haynes was brilliant against pace and, after struggling against spin early in his career, developed into a deadly player of slow bowling, his double of 75 and 143 against Australia on an SCG dustbowl in 1989 was of rare quality.
