Did you know in the first test Series, played at home, against England in 1929/30, West Indies had 4 different Captains from each of the 4 home venues?
Is this a record for any series?

Nunes - Jamaica
Hoad - Bim
Betancourt - T&T
Fernandes - BG
Apparently to appease local fans. All born in their respective 'Islands'.
It is a part of West Indies history.

In 1988 England playing the Windies at home, I remember it well having seen all 5 tests which was a nightmare, used 4 captains as well.
Do you know who they are without checking?
