Sir Frank Worrell the greatest of them all

I agree . Sir Frank gave  black people a feeling of self worth and pride, Kanhai did the same for Indians in Guyana .  Prior to that there was only Dr CB jagan .
These two men  greatness lies not only  from their exploits on the cricket pitch 

Dont forget that Barbados was a racist place :

Guyana had to rescue them to become Test and FC cricketers !

Prior to Frank Worrell : 

He was used in practice matches to sharpen up white batsmen

In 1899 he emigrated to Demerara which had far less strict rules on colour

(other promising players took the same route)

and he bowled well enough in his first season to gain selection for the 1900 England tour !!
