Australia are the visitors to Sabina Park in May 2008

One of cricket's most famous venues, Sabina Park in Kingston is the venue for the first Test of the four-match series in 2009.

West Indies and England contested the first Test held at Sabina Park 79 years ago, when the tourists, propelled by Andy Sandham's gargantuan 325 in the first innings, set West Indies an unlikely 836 to win.

Legendary West Indian George Headley cracked a wonderful 223 - one of two double hundreds he scored at the ground - to ensure his side earned a draw.

Those two innings were eclipsed in 1958 when Garry Sobers scored 365 at Sabina Park against Pakistan, a Test record which stood for 36 years.

The ground which Sandham, Headley and Sobers graced all those years ago is vastly different to the one England will visit, as the stadium underwent a major renovation for the 2007 World Cup, raising the capacity to 20,000.

England were involved in the ground's most forgettable moment when the 1998 Test was abandoned after just 10.1 overs due to an appalling pitch.
