The series was characterised by the opening pair of Stewart and new England captain Michael Atherton, which provided the greatest resistance against the West Indian attack of Ambrose and Walsh.
The pair scored 987 runs in the series while Ambrose ended the series with 26 wickets at an average of 19.96 and was awarded man of the series.

After England lost the first three Tests (which included a 46 all out in the second innings of the third Test) there was talk of another blackwash series.
England secured a victory in the fourth Test however, with Stewart's two centuries and Fraser's eight wickets being the main contributors to the win.
This was the first time in 59 years that a visiting nation had won at the Kensington Oval.
The main highlight of the series was to come in the final Test at Antigua, where Brian Lara broke Sobers' Test world record score of 365 not out, set 36 years earlier, by scoring 375.
Lara was congratulated by Sobers, who was present on the ground to see his record broken.

In the end Lara scored an exceptional 798 runs at an average of 99.75.
Two months later Lara would go on to break the first-class batting record of 499 runs by scoring 501 not out against Durham at Edgbaston.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul made his Test debut in the second Test of the series, when he made his maiden half-century.
Chanderpaul was Lara's last batting partner when he made his record-breaking 375, scoring 75 not out himself and combining in a 219 fifth wicket partnership.
