(Graham is pictured above during his match saving innings of 146 in the 1st Test at Trent Bridge, Nottingham in June 1988. Gooch also scored 73 in England's 1st innings and went on to average 45.90 in the 5 match series. Graham was often at his best against the West Indies pacemen and made 5 other centuries besides that 146 in his 26 matches against them. As shown above Gooch actually had a higher average against the Windies (43.94) than his overall average of 42.38 - a feat few Test batsman could boast against the men from the Caribbean during the 1980s and early 90s.)
