Second Test

WEST INDIES v ENGLAND 1989-90

At Georgetown, Guyana, March 10, 11, 12, 14, 15. Abandoned. Torrential rain, falling nightly for five days, left the Bourda ground under water, and a contentiously early decision to abandon the match was taken on the evening of the rest day. It was the first time that a Test match in the West Indies had been abandoned, and the fifth time in Test cricket history. The two teams had announced their twelve players as follows:


West Indies

C. G. Greenidge, D. L. Haynes, R. B. Richardson, C. L. Hooper, C. A. Best,* I. V. A. Richards, † P. J. L. Dujon, I. R. Bishop, C. E. L. Ambrose, C. A. Walsh, B. P. Patterson and K. L. T. Arthurton.
