It doesn't help that their most talented player missed the prime years of his career due to contract issues as because he prioritised IPL (non) cricket.
The West Indian people are crazy for cricket. Yet we saw in the 2007 World Cup how much ridiculous ticket prices and general administration is ruining the game over there. They just have so much raw talent that is going to waste because of improper coaching. Time for Sir Viv et al. to do some mentoring.
Yeah, the ticketing at that World Cup was scandalous. I really do hope they sort it out, the more strong teams the better.Originally Posted by Syn

With the exception of Sri-Lanka we have quite a good draw there, Australia are no better at one day cricket presently than they are at Test Cricket.
Indian cricketer S Sreesanth has been charged with 38 other people over a spot-fixing scandal that has rocked the Indian Premier League.
Prosecutors brought charges of criminal conspiracy and cheating against Sreesanth, two of his Rajasthan Royals team-mates, and other non-cricketers.
Spot-fixing involves players bowling wides and no-balls at certain times arranged beforehand with bookmakers.
Sreesanth and team-mates Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan deny the charges.
They were arrested in May along with scores of bookmakers.
A separate spot-fixing investigation by cricket officials led to cricket chief N Srinivasan stepping aside last month pending the outcome of the probe.
He left his post as the head of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) after his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan was arrested for suspected spot-fixing.
He and his Chennai Super Kings (CSK) franchise were exonerated by the inquiry, but the Bombay High Court has now ordered a "re-investigation".
Correspondents say the ruling could delay the return of Mr Srinivasan.
The scandal broke in May when Sreesanth, Chavan and Chandila were arrested.
Sreesanth and Chavan were later freed on bail, but Chandila remains in jail.
The trio, all bowlers, were suspended by India's cricket board and the Rajasthan Royals.
The IPL is considered to be the world's showcase for Twenty20 cricket.
Top Indian and international players take part, contributing to what is the world's richest cricket tournament.
