Sir Everton DeCourcey Weekes, the legendary West Indian batsman, who died in Barbados on Wednesday at 95 due to a heart attack, cherished his memories of the 1948-49 tour of India.

It was a series in which Weekes plundered 779 runs at an amazing average of 111.29. After taking four consecutive centuries off the Indians at Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, he was run out for 90 at Chennai where West Indies won their only Test in the five-match series.
