The West Indies will enter the first Test against England at Lord's on Wednesday as the underdogs, with many new faces that will be difficult to recognize for the English fans. However, things were exactly the opposite four decades ago.
The West Indies greats of the '80s and '90s were regulars in English county circuit when the Caribbean team played a Test series against England on their tour in 1984, and the second Test of that tour at Lord's is still remembered for Gordon Greenidge's remarkable double century.
