Lloyd wasn't blessed with the academic achievemets of Worrel nor the genius of Sobers or Richards who came later, but he was indeed a quiet achiever. 
Much of the praise of the accomplishments of the WI team usually go to Viv Richards who never lost a series.
Just as in Shiv's case recently, the political power of the day had to go to 'bat' for Lloyd after he was over looked for that home series against NZ. 
It was after that memorable 22 hours plane ride from down under,  ending with Lloyd sprinting into the Bourda ground and coming out to bat for guyana and scoring a  century, that he fully regained his place in the WI team and never looked back.
Not bad for a young man who had to leave school at the age of 14 or15 after his father died, to go to work to support his mother and younger sisters.

Clive was not a show-off. He was a quiet achiever. Perhaps his best asset was his knowledge and understanding of his players.  He knew how to motivate them and what buttons to press to get the best out of them, particularly in tough situations. Ian Chappell the great Australian captain once told me that any captain can learn how to set a field, when to change the bowling or how to write out the batting order, but in his opinion the most important job in captaincy is motivation of the players

clive getting blasted these days
