During the period that at least three of these four bowlers were playing (Feb 1977 t0 march 1987), Gavaskar played 17 Tests over three series against the West Indies. Here is how he fared.
When playing in the West Indies, even two of these great foursome were enough for most batsmen.... at least Gavaskar's record seems to suggest so. The figures below are only for the 1977 to 1987 period since these I have already taken out. To be accurate we need to add the period when Roberts and Holding faced him and garner was yet to make his debut.
