Clyde Walcott
Sir Clyde Leopold Walcott, KA, GCM (17 January 1926 – 26 August 2006) was a West Indian cricketer. Walcott was a member of the "three W's", the other two being Everton Weekes and Frank Worrell: all were very successful batsmen from Barbados, born within a short distance of each other in Bridgetown, Barbados in a period of 18 months from August 1924 to January 1926; all made their Test cricket debut against England in 1948.
In the mid-1950s, Walcott was arguably the best batsman in the world.〔Obituary in ''The Daily Telegraph''.〕〔(LG ratings graph for Walcott. )〕 In later life, he had an active career as a cricket administrator, and was the first non-English and non-white chairman of the International Cricket Council.
==Early and private life==
Walcott was born in New Orleans (Bridgetown), St. Michael, Barbados. His father was a printing engineer with the ''Barbados Advocate'' newspaper. He was educated at Combermere School and, from the age of 14, at Harrison College in Barbados. He took up wicket-keeping at Harrison College and also learned to bowl inswingers.
He married Muriel Ashby in 1951. They had two sons together. His brother, Keith Walcott, and a son, Michael Walcott, both played first-class cricket for Barbados.
