1995 - West Indies vs. England

In one of the hottest English summers in decades, England and West Indies drew this compelling, up and down, six-Test series 2–2. While the Windies retained the Wisden Trophy they were erratic, undermined by injuries, internal disputes, and inconsistent performances. England, led by Mike Atherton recovered from two heavy defeats, while Brian Lara’s 765 runs stood far above any other contribution. The result marked the end of West Indies’ long-held aura of invincibility in England and signalled a shift toward a different future.
