It’s 90 not out for Sir Everton - chairman - 02-26-2015
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)
