Re: Home tests 2017

As someone like Mr K who is old enough to have watched first hand the Windies teams of the early 70's I agree with him, the matches where not as one sided as this. A four day test was unusual, a three day one just didn't happen. He is also correct in saying the Windies are a spent force. More interested in baseball and 'soccer' these days.

How old where you in 1976 when Holding blitzed England at the Oval Den?

Also in the 70's test cricket in this country was shown non terrestrial TV so had a massive audience.

And Chris Gayle is one of at least five players who are not in this side but would be if not chasing money elsewhere.
