In Test matches, their hegemony prevails everywhere but India, where the SG ball is used

West Indies coaching regime, headed by Stuart Law and Nic Pothas, were keen to use a Kookaburra
in this series on the basis that England have a history of struggling to gain much movement with it.
They were also keen to play on slower, lower surfaces, such as in Guyana
in the hope of negating England's seamers and exploiting a perceived weakness in their batting.
