West Indian cricket team in England in 1950
The West Indies cricket team toured England in the 1950 season to play a four-match Test series against England. West Indies won the series 3–1 with no matches drawn. The second Test at Lord's was the first time that the West Indies had won a match in England; in that match Ramadhin took 5 wickets for 66 runs and 6 for 86, whilst Valentine took 4 for 48 and 3 for 79. Wisden in 1951 named four West Indian players as Cricketer of the Year. They were Sonny Ramadhin, Alf Valentine, Everton Weekes and Frank Worrell. The fifth player was England wicket-keeper Godfrey Evans. For the source, see Wisden 1951 in Cricinfo. West Indies team
