To put in perspective how special this win is.

Well done West Indies.

A strong West Indies in test cricket is a great thing for Cricket's health as a game.

West Indies generally turn the heat on when they face England.

Headingly 2017 and now this.

West Indies also dominated England last time they played in West Indies.

Imagine going back in time in the early 1990s and telling to that West Indies team to their face that those were going to be their last test wins in these countries in next 3 decades nearly. Surreal.
