Everton Weekes, 89 not out

SIR EVERTON WEEKES is just 11 short of another hundred.

 That’s because one of the best and most attractive batsmen the West Indies has ever produced, is celebrating his 89th birthday today.

Did you know that Sir Everton was just 22 when he made his debut for the West Indies against England in January 1948. He must have had the shortest walk by a debutant to the ground as he had to make a few steps from his home Pickwick Gap to Kensington Oval.
