What a day at Edgbaston! England scooped up the nine West Indies first innings wickets in next to no time and then enforced the follow on. They promptly went through the Windies' second innings. ENGLAND TOOK 19 wickets in a single day!
Victory in just three days - and perhaps a pity that the late Tony Greig is no longer around around to witness the Windies starting 'to grovel'. But then - that team and this bear precious little resemblance to each other.
With all of that alloted time remaining and spectators having bought tickets - perhaps two additional one day matches could have been arranged!
