Windies were in a bit of a bother early on in the third Test match at the Old Trafford. They were reeling on 26 for 4 with the likes of Viv Richards and Roy Fredericks already back in the pavilion. It was then that the great Gordon Greenidge rose to the occasion and notched up a magnificent 134.

In response, the hosts were knocked out on just 71 runs. Greenidge wasn't done just yet, though. Through class and aggression, he registered his 2nd ton (101) of the match to help West Indies set a daunting target of 552 runs for the Englishmen.

It was too tough an ask as England yet again strayed from the track and lost steam at just 126 runs, compiling a hideous 197 in their two innings combined.
