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.

Numbers Game  !

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?

HOW MANY PLAYERS FROM EACH CARIBBEAN COUNTRY HAS PLAYED A MINIMUM OF 20 TESTS ?
