6 captains who have won a Test series in Australia since 1988

#5 Sir Richie Richardson, West Indies

Richardson

In a hard-fought Test series, the opening game ended in a draw. West Indies survived the final day of the first Test as they lost eight wickets in their pursuit of 231.

Australia took an early lead in the series as they won the second Test by 139 runs. Mark Waugh and Alan Border scored brilliant hundreds in the game. The third Test ended in a high scoring draw as both teams scored more than 500 runs in their first innings.

However, West Indies won the fourth Test by one run. It was one of the best Test matches that these two sides have ever played as West Indies defended 185 to salvage a win.

West Indies clinched the series 2-1 at Perth as they demolished Australia by an innings and 25 runs in the fifth Test. Richardson led them from the front with 380 runs and deservedly lifted the trophy.
