Not according to Cricinfo
Gordon Greenidge, who played alongside Lloyd for West Indies, receives the order of St Michael and St George Knight Commander;

That's a lower honour than a knighthood. In effect, it's a Commander of the British Empire (CBE).

Knight commander is a knighthood

Who knows! F Brits and their so called honors.. I was pointing out the difference in the alleged title..

The DUKESTER couldah get Knighthood too.
2019-12-28 00:20:54
Such an anachronism but I guess these meaningless titles still matter to some!
Just dessert for Margaret Thatcher's lawn jockey!

Yeah! The big pussy got knighted. Just read the media release... Never knew he played 2 decades for lancashire.

I always thought that he was already knighted.

Her Majesty may have now forgotten the weeping and wailing of her people, at the hands of Clive Lloyd's West Indies!

Some West Indians still think this knighthood thing is important.
I wonder why Ryan and Arawak will start conferring knighthoods on cc.com people?
2019-12-28 02:25:00
I don't like British titles because they stink of hierarchical class culture. And class culture in Britain puts the boot on the masses.
Knighthood is a position that says 'kiss my ring and be forever reverent because I'm superior to your achievement whatever it may be'
How can we erase this negative British influence on our culture?
2019-12-28 02:30:04
In reply to Larr Pullo
And I thought Guyana was a Republic, and, like T&T, no longer recognizes her Majesty as Head of State.

Erase? Many West Indians cherish it. Antigua even officially adopted the practice!

In reply to Drapsey
The title is simply ceremonial. It does not have to be recognized by any government. It probably just gets you a seat in a London pub, or in a CWI committee, more quickly!

In reply to Drapsey
Soup drinker Lloyd is a meek and loyal subject of Her Majesty..
2019-12-28 02:54:10
Carefully parse this..The title means Lloyd fought om behalf of the British..His team decimated England on the field. Is Lloyd symbolically surrendering the accomplishments of his team for the sake of this fake title?
2019-12-28 04:27:36
In reply to FuzzyWuzzy
Yes, you're right. The knight commander is addressed as "sir" as well.
I really dislike the British honours system, but there you go.
2019-12-28 04:47:21
Why do West Indians think that colonial titles will bring us glory? The British system is the past but we keep going back to it..
2019-12-28 06:11:42
In reply to Drapsey
Guyana remains a Co-operative Republic (unlike Trinidad), therefore they can accept knighthood
2019-12-28 06:36:16
Fork the knighthood and all who embrace it
2019 the year of return and we are covering ourselves with their tarnished symbols

I suppose Viv took his for country/ government reasons. Richardson/Roberts and Ambrose followed suit.
A country like Jamaica can rebuke such accolades. So well known and influential established around the globe. Holding would never go near it.

He was not knighted as a Guyanese or a West Indian but as a British citizen. He is not listed in the foreign list like Greenidge.
