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.
#OnThisDay: Karl Nunes -- the first man to lead West Indies in a Test match -- vs England at Lords 1928.
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.
