“Congratulations on your epic history-making record test innings of 400 not out in the Fourth Test against England at the Antigua Recreation Ground surpassing the highest score of 380 made by the Australian, Matthew Hayden. Your regaining of the world record is a tumultuous victory for all West Indian peoples.
The discipline, the brilliance and the mastery of the art of batsmanship which you continue to display will stand forever as a hallmark of excellence, which our youth must emulate if they wish to achieve the topmost heights of their chosen professions and to build a society worthy of their highest aspirations.
The Caribbean Community is confident that this tremendous innings on your part will redound to the benefit of the West Indian Cricket Team and marks its rebirth as a dominant force in international cricket
Heartiest congratulations on behalf of the entire Region.”
