Sir Everton was accorded a reverential one minute\u2019s silence. He was a great Barbadian and Caribbean personality.<\/p>\n<p>Three decades before our great <span class=\"il\">West<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"il\">Indies<\/span>\u00a0Test\u00a0<span class=\"il\">cricket<\/span> team was universally declared the\u00a0 World\u2019s best, Sir Everton had achieved the status as the best batsman in the game. Twice voted by WISDEN in the\u00a0 1950s \u2018best batsman\u2019 of the year, Sir Everton had reached the mountain top ahead of any <span class=\"il\">West<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"il\">Indian<\/span>\u00a0player and team. \u00a0But the critical significance of this achievement was that he took with him the team that had set out on a mission to reach the peak.<\/p>\n<p>Between 1948 and 1950, he scored five consecutive Test centuries, one against England and four against India. This was a World Test record that remains today. These performances enabled the\u00a0<span class=\"il\">West<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"il\">Indies<\/span> to defeat India and England at home \u2014 a seminal masterstroke with far-reaching efforts. Importantly, they also enabled the <span class=\"il\">West<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"il\">Indies<\/span>\u00a0to challenge Australia in 1951 for the title of best Test team, a journey to the top that took twenty-three years of effort. He led us to the pinnacle, gave us confidence, and we never looked back. In 1953, he became holder of the record for most Test runs by a\u00a0<span class=\"il\">West<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"il\">Indian<\/span>, an achievement that remained intact until broken by Sir Gary Sobers in 1966.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>These extraordinary contributions were reflective of his personal journey to the top as a young man of working-class roots born without the benefit of social comfort and devoid of the opportunity to obtain a secondary school education. Erupting from an impoverished inner community of Bridgetown, not known for its material amenities, this young man set out on a quest to master the craft of batsmanship, hence the title of his biography written by Hilary Beckles, \u201cMastering the Craft\u201d. His mental agility, resilience, commitment to the highest standards, and dedication to the course of\u00a0<span class=\"il\">West<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"il\">Indies<\/span> success, set him apart as a phenomenal human being. His West Indianness was further demonstrated in his efforts to recognize and promote <span class=\"il\">cricket<\/span>\u00a0talent in the OECS territories at a time when this was not the norm. He was, therefore, the John the Baptist for Roberts, Richards, and others.But critically, Sir Everton was a man of, from, and for the people. Sincere and humane in his social style and graceful in the public celebration of his achievements, he was the embodiment of citizenship at a\u00a0 time before our countries were not yet independent and hardly respected. He was the first black <span class=\"il\">West<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"il\">Indian <\/span>to be unanimously recognised as the best in the world in any endeavour by peers.\u00a0 In this regard, he was a pillar of the Nations we now have a responsibility to sustain.<\/p>\n<p>Rising from the ashes of colonialism,\u00a0 this phoenix flew to the highest altitude, setting standards and expectations,\u00a0 not only for future generations of <span class=\"il\">cricketers<\/span> \u00a0\u2014 the Sobers-Kanhai, Lloyd-Richards, Lara-Chanderpaul-Gayle, and Holder eras but for all citizens in their respective endeavours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>We, therefore, celebrate this unique Caribbean and world <span class=\"il\">cricket<\/span> icon and give thanks for his contribution \u2014 the gift of the highest standard. May this gift continue to inspire and elevate all those within its reach.<\/p>\n<p>The Caribbean Community extends sincerest condolences to the immediate family and friends of Sir Everton. Barbados and the Caribbean will always treasure this exemplar of our Caribbean civilisation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On July 3, 2020, the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean\u00a0Community paid tribute to Sir Everton Weekes who died on July 1, 2020, at the age of 95 years.
