West Indies v England 1st Test at Jamaica
WI v ENG, 1st Test, Jamaica: West Indies demolish England by innings and 23 runs (WI 1:0)
08 Feb, 2009
West Indies bowled England for 51 to sweep to an incredible win by an innings and 23 runs just before tea on the fourth day Saturday of the opening cricket Test.
Fast bowler Jerome Taylor claimed a career-best 5-11 on a lifeless pitch in helping to dismiss England for its third lowest total in 132 years of Tests.
Left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn snared 4-31 as England was crushed in front of an ecstatic and stunned 10,000-strong crowd that included Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt, who celebrated with the players on Sabina Park.
West Indies completed its first innings only in the morning at 392 for a 74-run lead. Then the unexpected dramatic ending began as West Indies sent the England batsmen back to the pavilion almost as soon as they walked out. Andrew Flintoff was the only player to score more than 10, with 24.
The second of four Tests starts on Friday in Antigua.
