Tour of Pakistan 1980-81                   Captain: Clive Lloyd
	24th West Indies Test tour   Third Test-playing tour of Pakistan by West Indies         (October 1980 -                   January 1981)	Andy Roberts, who had been playing cricket almost continuously since coming to Hampshire on trial in 1973, was given a brief rest.  He was not considered for the tour and, although West Indies managed well without him, he was subsequently restored to his Test place.   Provided, as the team was, with Clarke, Croft, Garner and Marshall, Clive Lloyd's fast bowling strategy was barely inconvenienced by the shoulder injury to Holding, or by the docile pitches. At Multan Sylvester Clarke lost his temper after being pelted with oranges and on the spur of the moment picked up a brick boundary marker and threw it into the crowd, knocking out a student Shafiq Ahmed and putting him into hospital. This was West Indies' first tour of Pakistan not combined with a visit to India. West Indies won the rain-spoilt Test series by one match to nil, with three drawn, and won the one-day series with a clean sweep of all three matches.  This maintained West Indies' winning sequence against Pakistan, having won all the six ODIs played to date.
