The last of West Indies cricket's three Ws has died

Sir Everton Weekes was 95.

Alongside Sir Clyde Walcott and Sir Frank Worrell, he formed a formidable Windies batting line-up.

All made their test debuts within three weeks in 1948 and were born within 18 months of each other in Barbados.

Weekes finished with a test average of 58.61 and registered five successive test centuries in 1948, still the only batsman to do so.

He passed 1000 test runs in 12 innings - one fewer than Sir Don Bradman.
