This tour saw the beginning of a bowling partnership between Courtney Walsh and Curtly Ambrose that would trouble batsmen across the world for the next 12 years.
England, on the other hand, had entered the series with low expectations and confidence.
This was reflected in their team selections, with 23 players being used during the series.

England had four captains in Gatting, John Emburey, Chris Cowdrey and Graham Gooch, but each Test ended in West Indian dominance.
They won each match except the first Test, which was drawn because of rain, and the series finished 4–0.
The West Indies pace attack was the main difference between teams with Marshall being the most dangerous bowler, taking 35 wickets at an average of 12.65.
This included a 7/22 in the third Test which he bowled with a broken left hand.
Marshall was supported by Ambrose's bowling which yielded 22 wickets.
After this series both teams would go into decline.
Many of the great West Indian players such as Richards and Marshall would soon retire, and their dominance of the Test stage was nearing its end.
