Biography Of West Indian Cricketer Clyde Walcott
Sir Clyde Leopold Walcott was a West Indian cricketer and was a member of the "three W's", the other two being Everton Weekes and Frank Worrell. Walcott was the danger man among them.
Powerfully built, standing at 6 feet and 2 inches he was a mighty hitter with aggressive instincts that rendered bowlers impotent by the sheer force of his drive. Having learnt at Harrison College that he could double his chances of playing if he expanded his skills, he became a wicketkeeper. Though his height complicated this he was good enough to serve in this capacity for the West Indies though it later injured his back. He died on 26th August, 2006 after serving as a cricket administrator, and was the first non-English and non-white chairman of the International Cricket Council.
