In February 1946 , two Barbadian batsmen , Clyde Walcott and Frank Worrell , set a new record for the highest partnership in first-class cricket , putting on 574 not out against Trinidad . Walcott , Worrell , and another Barbadian , Everton Weekes , all made their Test debuts during England 's 1947 – 48 tour of the West Indies . The trio eventually became known as the " three Ws " , and as " one of the greatest middle-order line-ups the game has ever seen " , were key members of the West Indies from the late 1940s through to the late 1950s . All three eventually received knighthoods , and were inaugural inductees into the ICC Hall of Fame in 2009 . Worrell was especially esteemed as the first black man to captain the West Indies , doing so on the team 's 1960 – 61 tour of Australia . He was succeeded as captain by another Barbadian , Garfield Sobers , whose 365 not out against Pakistan in 1958 set a record for the highest Test score that was not passed for another 36 years
