Great memories, i remember staying up late especially to watch the highlights each night. Big novelty back then to have daily highlights from an overseas tour, never mind live coverage.
I lived in Barbados when this series was played and England played well. Viv Richard's missed the 3rd test with injury in Trinidad which ended in a draw with England still 1-0 up. The British press made the mistake of taunting Viv asking where he was hiding and calling him a chicken. He came back for the 4th test in Barbados and said champions know how to bounce back and we did
Was this tour one of the first ones to be covered by sky sports?? Or what sky sports was at the time?? Definitely one of the best victories by an England team away from home.
England went into this tour decimated as a result of the rebel tour to South Africa and having in the 1989 English Summer lost the Ashes to Australia 4-0
