I don't watch cricket like I used to, but I still follow the results.
This test series has been a bit of a walkover and in my opinion it was so easy it's a bit embarrassing:
1st Test - England won by 241 runs.
2nd Test - England won by an innings and 114 runs.
3rd Test - England won by 10 wickets.
Although it's nice to be on the right side of a thrashing for once :)
^^^ They're still a good team, Clover, but other teams have upped their game to match them (or beat them) these days.
They had a pretty good team the first time that I saw them play, on a school trip to Fenner's in 1966:

(Interestingly though, it wasn't the much feared Wes Hall who took lots of wickets on that occasion but a spinner, David Holford, who bagged 12 of them).
Great team performace but I can't help recalling that during the first Test "she who must be obeyed" commented that the Windies did not seem to be match fit. She is really pretty clued up with all the cricket formats and I think that she may have been correct. They have faded badly in all 3 games by the 3rd day.
