A Test match in progress at Kensington Oval

The Kensington Oval at Bridgetown, Barbados was another West Indian fortress that seemed impregnable for around 45 years. During which the home team bulldozed opponents with remarkable ease and the West Indies' army of fast bowlers feasted on one of the quickest pitches on offer in the Caribbean. Out of the 27 Test matches played at the venue between 1948 and 1993, West Indies won 16 of them while 11 were drawn. The last draw in this time span came in 1977 and since then the West Indies won 12 Test matches on the trot at the Kensington Oval against a range of opponents. Most of the wins at the venue were big victories and for a long time, the results of the game seemed to be a foregone conclusion. However, it all changed when England beat the West Indies in 1994 by 208 runs and a year later Australia beat them by 10 wickets. The fortress had been breached.
