ENTER THE LIVING LEGEND.

The hallowed halls of Kensington Oval were filled with whispers, nods of acknowledgement and folk stories yesterday, as Sir Garry Sobers passed on his words of wisdom to this country’s aspiring cricket stars.

Still considered the greatest cricketer the world has ever seen, Sir Garry has politely and quietly offered his services to Barbados Pride cricket franchise for the rest of the year, and the Pride have gleefully accepted.

Sir Garry gladly braved solid sunshine for more than four hours at Kensington, on the eve of the first day of Pride’s four-match against the Leeward Islands.

He expects to be around for much longer, having noticed quite a few areas he can work on in just three visits with the Barbadian players.

Please read the full story in today’s Weekend Nation, or in the eNATION edition.
