West Indies tour of India 1978-79 News
Remembering Kallicharran's West Indies
A depleted West Indies lost the series in India in 1978-79 but went home with their heads held high
A series victory at long last - 1978-79
It was obvious that much would depend on how Kallicharran got the bestout of his depleted side
