West Indies

Fazeer Mohammad wants to make some things clear about West India cricket history!

An excerpt
From February 1980, when we lost a three-Test series in New Zealand 1-0, to May 1995, when Australia completed a 2-1 triumph in the Caribbean, West Indies did not lose a single Test series. Not one. That's 29 Test series unbeaten all over the cricketing world, a time when the regional side had yet to face Zimbabwe and Bangladesh at the highest level and had only played a drawn one-off Test against Sri Lanka.


So we're talking about 15 years unbeaten in Test series. In contrast, Australia haven't even managed a four-year stretch of invincibility, losing series in India in 1998, Sri Lanka in 2001, England in 2005 and now in India again just a week ago.


Isn't it unbelievable that the Windies managed such a great run!
