The West Indies got a special visit from cricket legend, Sir Garfield Sobers at their practice session at the 3Ws Oval yesterday.  
The greatest all-rounder of all time was invited by Windies head coach Ottis Gibson, and he accepted the invitation to discuss the game with the players and also to monitor the net session in the Garfield Sobers Indoor Centre.  
Sir Garry observed the players and took part in a number of informal conversations with many of them.  
He had an especially long chat with captain of the side, Darren Sammy, and prolific batsman Marlon Samuels of Jamaica.  
The Windies are preparing for the Digicel T20 International against Pakistan, to be played at the Beausejour Stadium in St Lucia next Thursday.  Here, Sir Garry (right) in deep conversation with West Indies captain Darren Sammy.
