The team which was no.1 for many years in late 1970s is
currently at that position in ICC ranking,which cannot be
appreciated.This team was said to be non-defeatable in it's
good time.Do you know from 1980 to 1995 they had not lost a
single Test Series.But time changes,'Change' is rule of universe.
What are the reasons responsible for this condition of West
Indies Cricket ?.The main comment that former Cricketer Mark
Taylor did on West Indies Cricketers is that they are forgetting
the right techniques of Cricket.It cannot be said there is lack
of talents in West Indies but West Indies Board is not able to
extract it's best cricketers for playing XI.West Indies team
cricketers comes from different territory.Each territory launches
their own players in all other sport except for Cricket.The unity
of West Indies Territories over Cricket should be appreciated.
You know West Indies board did not do physical test of their
cricketers because it would have cost them 750 pounds.
West Indies Board had expected high profit by hosting World
Cup 2007 but the World Cup 2003 was the biggest flop show in
world Cup history.There was lot of mismanagement due to which
many suffered and it reached maximum when Pakistan coach Bob
Woolmer died during World Cup.So World Cup 2007 did not
increases prestige of West Indies as an organizer of World Cup.
The single cricketer in West Indies cricket team who is
trying to bring lost respect for West Indies Cricket is Shiv
Narayan Chanderpaul.During Wisdon Test Series in England,when
Chanderpaul did not play second Test they lost by an inning and
238 runs.The main advantage of his batting is that it have
stability.
Texas business tycoon Elan Stanford who is the biggest fraud
in Cricket History initially tried to improve West Indies Cricket
by his dollars is facing cheating case.West Indies Board is not
able to take decision of what profit did they get by their alliance
with Stanford.
So currently West Indies Cricket cannot think of becoming no.1
rather they should think of playing respectful game.
