Sir Everton Weekes
In this feature Martin ends his tribute to the three Ws with a look at the life and times of the last survivor of the famous trio.
Great piece, and a great tribute to a great man. As a batsman not quite in the Headley, Sobers, Richards and Lara, But with the tremainder of the 3W's and Kanhai takes a place just a hair below and all true ATG's in the truest meaning of the term.
I enjoyed the series, and thanks to all concerned.

It wasn't mentioned but Weekes was also a superb ATG slip who was rated by those who saw him as the equal to Hammond, particularily to spin.
Lovely stuff. Really enjoyed the entire series. Has made for excellent reading.
