The West Indian cricket team in
England in 1984 played three One Day
Internationals and five Tests. West
Indies beat England 2-1 in the ODI
series and then whitewashed England in
the Test series, winning 5-0. West
Indies were captained by Clive Lloyd
throughout, and England by David
Gower.
The average number of runs by the
English captain was nineteen, as were
the average number of runs per English
player in the Fifth Test. Comedian
Rory Bremner sang about the debacle in
the song "N-n-nineteen Not Out", a
parody of the Paul Hardcastle Vietnam
War song "19".
