In this quiz, you have to answer 15 questions on Test cricket between Australia and the West Indies.
The West Indies’ 1960/61 tour of Australia not only began with the first ever tied Test match but also produced at least two other classics. So popular were the West Indians that it was announced, mid-series, that the winner would get a rolling trophy named after Frank Worrell, the visiting captain. Worrell himself presented it to the winning captain, Richie Benaud. For the first time in history did a Test series not involving England gain such coverage.

It was, however, not the first time a Test series between the two teams gained such popularity. After both sides had beaten England, the West Indies’ 1952/53 tour in Australia was billed as the “World Championship of Cricket”. Unfortunately, Australia’s 4-1 reduced it to an anticlimax.

For two decades from the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s, the West Indies ruled supreme in world cricket like no other team had back then. Their run ended in 1994/95 with a home series defeat, to Australia. The mantle passed on to Australia, who have largely held the upper hand since then.
