Lot Details
The so-called original ‘Blackwash,’ and one of the most one-sided Test series in history. West Indies completed a 5-0 series whitewash of England — the first ‘blackwash,’ as one prominent Kennington banner put it, in a five-Test series in England, and only the fifth in the history of the game. England fought hard but West Indies won all five Tests by wide margins Gordon Greenidge was Player of the Series with 572 runs, including two double-centuries. Brutal milestones in the series included debutant opener Andy Lloyd being struck on the head by a short-pitched Malcolm Marshall delivery just half an hour into the series. He spent several days in hospital, didn't play cricket again that year, and never played another Test. Malcolm Marshall himself suffered a double fracture to his left hand during the fourth Test at Old Trafford, yet remarkably he returned to bowl 'one-handed' in England's second innings and still ran through the lower order, taking 4 wickets for 15 runs from just 4 overs in around half an hour — widely regarded as one of the great exhibitions of fast bowling skill. Ian Botham took 5 for 72 in the final Test to become the first cricketer in history to complete the all-rounder's ‘triple double’ — 300 Test wickets and 3,000 Test runs. Gordon Greenidge scored a double-century (214 not out) in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, sharing an unbroken 287-run stand with Larry Gomes as West Indies chased down 342 to win with just one wicket lost.
