If the third Test raised English hopes of a come-from-behind series victory, West Indies resumed their iron grip on the series in Guyana. England fielded two spinners and just two front-line seam bowlers - while the Windies gave a rare Test outing to leg-break bowler Dinanath Ramnarine. But it was business as usual for new-ball pair Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh, who rolled England over in four days - the tourists were bowled out for 137 chasing 380 to win in the fourth innings. In the fifth Test in Barbados, Graham Thorpe (103) and Mark Ramprakash (154) made first-innings centuries for England but the match was drawn, leaving the West Indies 2-1 up with one Test remaining. But the home side proved the stronger in the final Test in Antigua, completing an innings victory - with Ambrose and Walsh once again to the fore. Mike Atherton resigned as England captain following the series, and was replaced by Alec Stewart.
