Yes, as another poster said, India vs Windies in Trinidad....
Lloyd declared and gave his bowlers over 400 to defend, and Gavaskar and Vishwanath hit off the target with ease. The WIndies had gone into that match with three spinners, and after this Test, Lloyd declared he had no faith in WI spinners, and turned to developing his devastating pace quartet.
That match was the turning point in West Indies cricket.
