The West Indies came to India for a brief tour comprising of 2 test matches and 3 ODIs. Except for the face-saving victory in the second ODI at Vishakhapatnam, it was one of the worst performances of any West Indian side, which has visited India in the recent memory. They suffered humiliating innings defeat in both test matches and could not put up a very creditable show in the ODIs either. There were some stray sparks of individual brilliance but the players couldn’t combine well to put India under any pressure, all through the tour.
