West Indian cricket team in England in 1984


The West Indian cricket team in England in 1984 played three One Day Internationals and five Tests. West Indies beat England 2-1 in the ODI series and then whitewashed England in the Test series, winning 5-0 and to date remains the first and only time any touring side to England has achieved this feat. West Indies were captained by Clive Lloyd throughout, and England by David Gower.

The average number of runs by the English captain was nineteen, as were the average number of runs per English player in the Fifth Test. Comedian Rory Bremner sang about the debacle in the song "N-n-nineteen Not Out", a parody of the Paul Hardcastle Vietnam War song "19".
