A nostalgic tribute to the Three W's

From The Hindu's Dr. N. S. Srinivasan comes a nostalgic tribute to a West Indian trio who captured the imagination of cricket fans around the world.

From humble beginnings in Barbados, the great three W's brought to the world the thrill and joy of cricket. The bowlers dreaded to bowl to them, and the captains of the opposing teams found it difficult to set a field for them, but it was great fun watching them play. More than the scintillating performance these three great players have proved to the world that cricket should be played with gamesmanship, mutual appreciation and friendship.
