1988 English cricket season

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1988 English cricket season was dominated by Worcestershire who won the first of two successive championships and also a second successive Sunday league title.

Cricket made the front pages of national newspapers, due to the "Summer of four captains" phenomenon that afflicted the England national team, during its five match series against West Indies (see below).
