Everton Weekes

The victorious West Indian team of the seventies and eighties, led by Clive Lloyd, is well known. But the foundation of this team or victory was already laid a few years ago. Recently, in the early 1950's, the West Indies began to play some unusual cricketers, most notably the 'W' trio of Sir Frank Warrell, Sir Clyde Walcott and Sir Everton Weeks. Of these, the innings of the lives of Warrell and Walcott had already ended. Sir Everton Weeks retired on Thursday. He is likely to get a rest next to his other two friends. If that happened then it would be an unprecedented coincidence for the trio. The three Ws were born in the same year, in Barbados in the West Indies, in a circumference of about three square miles. All three started playing Test cricket three weeks apart! All three became great batsmen. Sir Frank Warrell became the first black captain of the West Indies. Sir Clyde Walcott became the first black captain of British Guyana, while Sir Everton Weeks became the first black captain of Barbados.

But out of these three, Weeks is undoubtedly the most talented batsman. 4455 runs in 48 Tests at an average of 58.61, including 15 centuries and 19 fifties. She is seventh in the list of batsmen who have played at least 20 Test matches on average. But even more astonishing was the performance of Weeks - five consecutive Test centuries. The first of these is against England, the remaining four are against India. It would have been six centuries, but until recently he had been complaining that he was considered a runaway in Madras. Of course there was never any bitterness in it. This yawning Caribbean wrestler with great fitness and great mental health. Born in poverty. Initially he was left to do minor work in a cricket club, but could not play. Because the club was reserved for whites only. Football and cricket were played simultaneously in the village of Everton Weeks Pickwick. The habit of hitting the ground to prevent the glass of the windows in the surrounding area from shattering became a habit, forever. He hit only one six in his career, as he didn't need much.

However, he is the only batsman in Test history to score 1,000 runs in at least 12 innings. The habit of swimming constantly. Humorous and cheerful personality. Moreover, the discipline of doing one's own work. Proficient in cricket as well as bridge. Still the habit of watching cricket matches by diving. So long-lived, juicy. Once in Barbados, Ian Chappell wanted to finish a party and go to his destination at midnight. With a glass of beer in his hand at the time, Weeks said, "I'll let you go." Chappell warned, "What about the breathalyzer?" We don't have bad habits! " He hit only one six in his career, as he didn't need much.
