A leg-spinner, Madray made his first-class debut for British Guiana against the visiting Australians in 1954–55 at the age of 20, taking 3 for 122 (the wickets of Neil Harvey, Peter Burge and Ron Archer) in 23 overs.[1]
He played two matches in 1956–57, taking 4 for 168 off 84 overs against Jamaica, then 4 for 61 and 1 for 18 against Barbados in the final of the Quadrangular Tournament.[2]
His next first-class match was his Test debut in the Second Test against Pakistan in Port of Spain in February 1958, when he and the off-spinner Lance Gibbs (who was also from British Guiana) both played their first Tests. Madray bowled only 18 overs and took no wickets, and made 1 and 0, but West Indies won.[3] He was left out of the Third Test, which West Indies also won, but he took four wickets (including Hanif Mohammad and Saeed Ahmed) against the Pakistanis when they played British Guiana, and returned for the Fourth Test on his home ground in Georgetown. He bowled 16 overs for no wickets and made 2 in his only innings, and that was the end of his first-class career.
He played local cricket for Penzance in Cornwall in 1959 and Minor Counties cricket for Lincolnshire from 1963 to 1967, where he was more prominent as a batsman, with a top score of 154 (but no wickets) in a victory over Cambridgeshire in 1964.[4]
He later lived in the United States.
