- Comment: I would say that the tour consists of minor fixtures, as they aren't listed as offcial Test or first-class matches by ESPNcricinfo. WP:CRIC will not consider it as notable unless there's some independent coverage about the tour apart from routine announcements. RoboCric Let's chat 12:08, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

In late 1977, the new World Series Cricket competition began in Australia between three teams playing both multi-day and one day games.
The WSC Australian XI played three supertests against the West Indies XI. Then there were three more supertests between Australia and a World XI. The World XI was captained by Tony Greig but included players from the West Indies side. This was not the case the following season.
The World XI won the series 2-1.
