Maiden Test Match - First Test Match Between England And West Indies at Lord's London, Jun 23-26 1928

It was a memorable debut for the West Indies. 

They were introduced to Test cricket at the ‘Home of Cricket’ Lord’s Stadium in London. 

The Test started on June 23, 1928, and ended on June 26 with second day declared as a rest day.

Similar to England and South Africa, Windies struggled in their maiden Test and their margin of defeat was also huge.

In that Test, host England, winning the toss, elected to bat first and scored 401 runs and bowled out the Windies twice in the match, first for 177 and then 166 after enforcing the follow-on. 

The Windies lost the Test by an innings and 58 runs.
