Colin Mason, England There was a time when the windies were almost unbeatable. The likes of Desmond Haynes, Gordon Greenich, Viv Richards, Richie Richardson, Clive Loyed. I don't think the West Indies can build a team like that in the near future and by near, I mean the next two to three years. Ahmed, USA If the West Indian administrators have the common sense to protect the game and its grass roots, the team will rise again. Spain The Windies have been in decline for some years, but they'll be back.
Cricket is cyclic.
Almost all the test nations have at some point been able to claim that they are the best in the world. Cricket has never been so competitive as it is now. If the West Indian administrators have the common sense to protect the game and its grass roots, the team will rise again. There is never any consistency in choosing the team. There is not enough being invested in the future and until the board stops blaming Lara and organises itself, we should expect more of the same terrible cricket.
