History of cricket in the West Indies from 1980–81 to 1990
This article describes the history of West Indies cricket from 1981 to 1990.
During this decade, the West Indies cricket team dominated Test cricket. Outstanding players of the time were the captain Viv Richards, opening batsmen Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes, wicketkeeper-batsman Jeff Dujon and a battery of fast bowlers headed by Malcolm Marshall and including Joel Garner, Michael Holding, Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh. The only "achilles heel" in this outstanding team was the lack of a quality spin bowler.

gollark: That sounds quite bad.
gollark: Maybe. It's hard to judge. If you average across all platforms ever, then probably.
gollark: I fear it.
gollark: The very ominously named "online safety bill" is very ominous and would impose ridiculous compliance requirements on basically everything, as well as allowing the media regulator to block sites which don't comply, as well as in a plausibly-deniable way banning end to end encryption, as well as requiring all web platform things to censor "harmful content".
gollark: The UK is also doing bad things nominally but not really in opposition to technology companies.
