Why Andrew Strauss’ England may struggle in the Caribbean
The first test against the West Indies starts tomorrow in Jamaica
Despite a turbulent few weeks, England travel to the Caribbean as 4/7 favourites to win the four-test series. Here are a few reasons why Andrew Strauss’ side will struggle:
» England have only won away to the West Indies once in the last 41 years.
» The visitors overall record from fourteen trips to the Caribbean reads: Played 14, Won 3, Tied 3 and Lost 3, giving them a win percentage of 21%.
» The West Indies have lost successive home test series on just one occasion in the last 38 years, which is a good omen for them as they lost their last one to Australia last year.
