London, July 31.
The West Indies achieved a notable performance in disposing of Surrey, the Champion County, in three hours 50 minutes for 210 runs at the Oval here today.
The tourists' batting broke down at the start of their own innings, three men being dismissed for nine runs, but a dour partnership of 47 in 95 minutes between Garfield Sobers and Clyde Walcott took the West Indies total to.56 for three by the close.
