1984: One of cricket's truisms is that Gordon Greenidge was lethal on two legs and deadly on one. At Lord's he pummelled England to a 9 wicket defeat with a blistering 214 not out. England had declared to set West Indies 342 to win 78 overs. They rampaged to victory in 66.1.

Greenidge faced only 242 balls, in which time he belted 29 fours and 2 sixes, making it "look like a Sunday League romp at Southampton", as Scyld Berry wrote in Wisden Cricket Monthly.
