When West Indies great Clive Lloyd talks about Test cricket contests in England, he ought to be taken seriously.

After all, he captained West Indies to three consecutive series wins there. In 1976, his team won 3-0 after rival skipper Tony Greig vowed to make them grovel. Four years later, he got the better of Ian Botham’s side 1-0 while in 1984, David Gower’s team were demolished 5-0. In short, the West Indies didn’t lose a Test when Lloyd led them in England.
