1976 English cricket season

Clive Lloyd adopted a new approach to Test cricket as a battery of pace bowlers was used to intimidate the England batsmen.

Lloyd adopted the tactic after his own team's experiences against Jeff Thomson and Dennis Lillee the previous year.

The West Indies cricket team made their tenth visit to England, under the captaincy of Clive Lloyd.

England, with only five and a quarter hours left in the match, did not attempt the chase, nor were the West Indies able to take early wickets to give them a chance of winning.

The match finished as a draw; writing in the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, Norman Preston said that "it was a disappointing performance" from England.
