 Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Sir Frank Worrell
Frank Maglinne Worrell was the first hero of the new nation of Barbados and anyone who doubted that had only to be in the island when his body was brought home in mid March of 1967.
Worrell himself said this was because there were too many factions in the side and John Goddard, previously showered with advice, was not helped this time by the seniors.
Sir Frank said calmly: "Make sure you don't give it to them by bowling no balls." Worrell was the calmest man at Lord's that day and trust him to think of a highly pertinent point which Hall, in his excitement, may have overlooked.

 The Hindu : A nice human being and a truly great cricketer
When he was at the peak of his prowess and popularity, Frank Worrell, whose 76th birthday falls on August 1, remarked that the island of Barbados lacked a ``hero.'' It was a classic case of a celebrity giving very little or no importance at all to himself.
When he made that embarrassingly humble statement, Worrell was already established as a great batsman, an astute captain and a magnificent man. Why, his certain noble qualities as a human being had elevated Worrell almost to the ranks of angels, even gods, not just in the Caribbean but in the whole of cricket world.
Worrell ended the cliques and rivalries between the players and various islands to weld together a team which in the space of five years became the World Champion.

Hayden is the first batsman in the history of the game to achieve such a feat, and it has been a remarkable fight back from the Queenslander who was on the verge of being dropped during the Ashes.
