Sports psychologist and medical doctor Rudi Webster, who has written often on West Indies cricket, gave a very detailed speech on that subject at a recent sport seminar in Barbados where he outlined some qualities missing from our recent teams. He pointed out: “Frank Worrell was one of our best cricket leaders. What he achieved in Australia in 1960/61 with his young team was truly remarkable. Few on his team had any kind of reputation before they arrived in Australia, but when they left they were all superstars.
The team was a happy unit, team spirit was high, team unity was strong, and the team played with purpose and confidence. Under Worrell’s leadership the team became a cheerful, disciplined and tightly knit unit with powerful self-belief and a strong will to win.”
