February 26, 1925: The second of the Three Ws is born in Barbados. Everton Weekes was a tremendously prolific batsman for West Indies after making his debut against England in Bridgetown in 1947-48.
He had a charming array of strokes all round the wicket. In 1948-49 he made a record five consecutive Test hundreds, and was only denied a sixth when he was rather controversially run-out for 90 in Madras.
Weekes got three in a row later in his career as well, against New Zealand in 1955-56, and ended with a mighty average of 58.62, which only George Headley among West Indians surpasses. He was knighted in 1995. (ESPN Cricinfo)
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
