West Indies tour of England News

How West Indies began their journey to world domination

Forty years ago Clive Lloyd and Co arrived in England ready to forge reputations. They left having established legends

When death whispered

Sing when you're winning

Another pitch, another track: the West Indian team touring England in 1976 stop in at a London studio to record a calypso

Facing Holding with a little thin towel

Brian Close and John Edrich won plenty of admirers - and took as many hits - on a brutal evening in Manchester in 1976

Close, Chappell and acts of courage

Some small deeds in the game's vast history endure, when others that dwarf them by numbers fade from view
