West Indian cricket team in Australia in 1979–80
The West Indies cricket team toured Australia from November 1979 to January 1980 and played a three-match Test series against the Australia national cricket team. The West Indies won the Test series 2–0, retaining the Frank Worrell Trophy. The West Indies were captained by Deryck Murray and Clive Lloyd; Australia by Greg Chappell.
As part of the settlement between World Series Cricket and the Australian board, this series was hastily arranged, along with another involving Australia and England. The two test series overlapped, with Australia alternating between playing the West Indies and England. This format was abandoned in all later Australian triangular series, in favour of one test series completing before beginning the other.
In addition, the teams played in a triangular Limited Overs International tournament with the England national cricket team. The West Indies won this tournament, defeating England in the final.Test series summary
