Lamming laments Worrell snub
Friday, May 9th, 2008Caribbean novelist George Lamming believes the delayed appointment of Sir Frank Worrell as West Indies captain was one of the most shameful acts in West Indies cricket history.
“That was one of the most humiliating things I can recall in West Indies cricket,” Lamming said. “The nearest I came to . . . I was crying. Coming back from London and going to Kensington, the West Indies were playing against Australia and I could see [Denis] Atkinson captaining a West Indies team. I could not understand how a Barbados crowd could have allowed that.”
