India vs West Indies
21-25 April 1976
At Sabina Park in April 1976, three weeks after India's chase of 406 at Port of Spain, Bishan Bedi declared India's first innings closed at 306/6 and effectively forfeited the second at 97 — five Indian batsmen recorded as "absent hurt" — in protest at what he considered intimidatory short-pitched bowling. Anshuman Gaekwad was hit behind the ear and hospitalised, Brijesh Patel struck in the mouth, and Vishwanath's finger broken. It was Clive Lloyd's first Test as captain with four genuine fast bowlers — Roberts, Holding, Daniel and Holder — and the moment is generally identified as the start of the West Indian pace strategy of the next two decades.

On 1 March 1958 at Sabina Park, the 21-year-old Garry Sobers turned his maiden Test century into 365 not out against Pakistan, beating Len Hutton's 364 from the 1938 Oval Test by a single run. Sobers batted for 10 hours and 14 minutes and added 446 for the second wicket with Conrad Hunte (260). The record stood for 36 years until Brian Lara's 375 in 1994.
