Wisden wrote of him:
“Butcher’s grim, resolute approach to the game is typically Guyanese — :-*
and even more typically Berbician. He has been known to smile during an innings,
but rarely before the four-hundredth run.â€
Of the adventurous, destructive West Indians the trait has been replicated the best :
by another Guyanese who played his cricket decades after Butcher —
Shivnarine Chanderpaul .

dat doh mek no sense to me.
Butcher came into the side in 1959-60 against england in the west indies and failed fus' 2 tests and got dropped. den he was recalled in 1963 and went ballistic at Lords and that was that.
Butcher's position was never threatened, never reconsidered until the day he retired. he was in solid, his position won for his duration
I doh know wat dat fella talking about. he better go back to his research
