Good article and pleased to read an appreciation of perhaps the least celebrated of the 3 W's.
Minor correction; while Walcott was the first West Indian to score twin hundreds against Australia but he certainly wasn't the first player - Herbert Sutcliffe, Wally Hammond and Denis Compton had all done so before
Thank you for reading and appreciating the article. I am always thankful to you for the support. And also the correction. I just checked it again. And he was indeed the first West Indian and not the first player to do so against Australia. Infact he was the first to do it twice against Australia and it was in the same series. I made a mistake while my research. I would like to thank you for correcting me.
