- On a pitch which had little in it for the bowlers, 1628 runs were scored for the loss of 17 wickets, an average of 95.76 runs per wicket. It's the second-highest in all Tests in the West Indies, next only to a Test between West Indies and New Zealand in Guyana in 1972, which averaged 99.40 per wicket. It's also the fifth-highest among all Tests played anywhere; the highest average is 136.12, when India played Pakistan in Lahore in 2006. The top ten contains two matches which happened over the last ten days: the Pakistan-Sri Lanka game in Karachi, which averaged 86.27, is at eighth slot.
