England opener Andy Sandham suffered perhaps the worst fallback if you may say for having made a huge score and then not play in the next game. During the 4th Test against the West Indies at the Antigua Recreation Ground in St.Johns, Santham made 325, which was also the first ever triple ton in a Test match, in a team total of 849 all out to completely take any result out of the game.

Then the England bowlers got into the act, dismissing the hosts for 286 before the batsman once again put on the runs. Chasing a colossal 836 runs in the final innings, the Windies batsman put in a much better showing, amassing 408 for 5 in the final innings.
Despite making 375 runs in the game, Santham did not play again for England and it only added further sadness to what was already a forgettable Test.
