The second youngest and the most diminutive of the famous 3Ws - Worrell, Wekes and Walcott - Everton Weekes was in his day, the most punishing batsman in the world, earning him the sobriquet of the "Butcher".

The Everton Weekes experience is the quintessential Caribbean story... a tale of how materially poor households produced citizens who achieved global excellence, on account of brilliant intellect, fierce discipline and determination and extraordinary generosity of spirit.
