#2 ODI games between Test matches

A Test series followed by the limited-overs leg - sounds mundane and predictable, right? Back in the day, teams used to play 50-over matches amidst Test cricket.

In the 1992 West Indies tour of Australia, the Windies played the first Test, then six ODIs of the Benson-Hedges tri-series that included Pakistan as the third team. They followed that up with the second and third Test, and then proceeded to complete the tri-series (which they won), before playing out the final two Tests.

Yes, such schedules were considered normal in those days.
