I was looking for achievements made by West Indies in Tests over the years, and found an article that had detailed the same. I have provided the link at the bottom for you guys.

Quote:3 - Five-Test whitewashes. The Windies won a five-Test series five-nil three times, but the last time was in 1985, against England. They last played a five-Test series in 2009.
Quote:15 - The number of years they were unbeaten in a series, between 1980 and 1994/5. Nine series were drawn and 20 ended in the Windies skipper of the day lifting the trophy.
Quote:400* - The world record score. Held by Brian Lara to this day. He holds two of the top three scores, with his 375 against England the one to originally break Sobers' record after 36 years.
Quote:11912 - Most runs. Lara is the Windies' most prolific run-getter, followed by Shiv Chanderpaul. They are the only two Windies batsmen with more than 10 000 Test runs. This number puts Lara sixth on the overall list.
Quote:157 - Most Tests. Chanderpaul hold the record for the most Test caps for the Windies, and is the sixth-most capped player in Test history. Only Sachin Tendulkar has hit the 200 mark.
Quote:69 - Viv Richards' scores over 50. Sir Viv, now a pundit, ended his career with an average over 50, with 24 centuries and 45 half tons to his name in 121 Tests.
