GB used this bat on the tour of the West Indies in 1981, finishing the tour with an average of 51.44, a match-saving 104 not out in the Test Match in Antigua and eight half-centuries. The English team was full of stars. However, it struggled against one of the most fearsome Windies XIs in cricketing history.
