Clive LLOYD - West Indies - Test Record v India

Clive Lloyd is pictured above during his knock of 41 (42 balls) in the group match against India

at The Oval in the 1983 World Cup. The Windies scored 282-9 off their 60 overs and then bowled

the Indians out for 216 to record a comfortable 66 run victory. It was a different story in the final

however, India producing one of the great shocks in World Cup cricket by bowling the West Indies

out for just 140 to secure a 43 run success.

 

Lloyd took a particular liking to the Indian bowling during his long and illustrious Test career,

his 28 Tests against returning an aggregate of 2344 runs at the tremendous average of 58.60.

He also made his Test best score against India of 242 not out in the 5th Test at Bombay in

January 1975, in the process helping the West Indies to a 201 run victory in the deciding

Test of an exciting 5 match series, India having fought back to level the series at 2-2 after

the Windies had won the first two tests.

 

Clive's overall average of 46.39 was also extremely impressive in a day and age when

the benchmark for a class batsman in Test cricket was 40.
