Several generations of Barbadian and West Indian cricketing excellence will gather on Monday, 27 July, for From the Crease, a special evening of stories and heartfelt tributes celebrating the life and legacy of The Right Excellent Sir Garfield Sobers, National Hero.

Beginning at 6:00 p.m. at Cricket Legends of Barbados, Herbert House, Fontabelle, the event will be hosted by veteran broadcaster Barry Wilkinson. The intimate venue, opposite Kensington Oval, offers a fitting setting in which to remember a man whose name and achievements are forever woven into the history of the iconic ground.

From the Crease forms part of Barbados’ “Standing Ovation” for Sir Garry and the national programme of observances surrounding his State Funeral and National Service of Thanksgiving. The National Organising Committee is bringing the cricketing family together to share the personal memories behind the public greatness.
