excellent article by
cricinfo..
Test cricket resumed for West Indies after the war in January 1948, and their side for that first game - on January 21, versus England in Barbados - included Clyde Walcott, who opened the batting and also kept wicket, and Everton Weekes, who batted No. 3. Both belonged to Barbados, and were hence starting out on home territory, and in the next Test they were joined by another Barbadian, Frank Worrell. In the first innings of that game, they occupied positions 3-5, slots they would take several times over the next decade, going on to become one of the greatest middle-order line-ups the game has ever seen.

Listen to me bally and listen carefully.
Worrell was the greatest WI cappo ever, period. None like him before and none after.
Lloyd was the luckiest Cappo ever. No one had the luck he had. I am not saying he was a bad captain...he actually was a good one. But not great. Only Richards came in second in terms of luck.
