OK. It appears that Weekes 'leapt out of the blocks' but then suffered a slow decline in average. Walcott was the opposite because he increased his average (from around 40) once he gave up keeping.Everton Weekes was in supreme form in 1948 season when he made 5 consecutive Test Centuries. However it can be argued whether he can make 1950s XI; he hit 3 consecutive centuries and a double ton in 1950s.
Walcott's average in 1950s decade was 60.89 which was second best to Sobers 61.54
I think that Walcott is the more consistent batsman of the two, but I don't know whether he was the better batsman, or played better under pressure, scored runs when they mattered, and so forth.
Can you really argue with 'second best to Sobers' though? Walcott by a whisker?
