Looks like a fantastic game. Incredible, the 3rd wicket partnership for West Indies scored 117 runs off 9 overs.

Can't believe W Slack died in 1989. he looked like a good player, why did he only play 2 ODI's?

In those days, the oneday side was virtually the same as the test side, apart from maybe an extra all-rounder or two. Slack didn't feature in the test side after touring WI in 1986, so that was that really. As you indicated, his early death was a terrible tragedy.
