West Indies Biography

Had there been no West Indies, cricket would not have reached the heights it has today. There has perhaps not been a single other team whose inhabitants have taken cricket up as naturally. To draw an analogy from football, West Indies can be called the Brazil of cricket.

As things stand today, West Indies is formed of 15 countries (including Guyana, the only Test-playing South American nation). The countries participate in other sports as individual teams; it is only cricket that binds them together, even in the current era when cricket has been losing interest in that part of the world.

Though George Headley, the three Ws [Frank Worrell, Clyde Walcott and Everton Weekes], and Garry Sobers had enriched the sport significantly in their heydays, their golden era came in the 1970s and 1980s. There was a period close to two decades when the Windies juggernaut crushed everything in its path. They suffered just one series defeat - a bitter one against New Zealand, thanks largely to some blatantly biased umpiring.

With the arrival of Viv Richards and a seemingly infinite battery of menacing fast bowlers, the West Indian overcame one opposition after another in their heydays under the capable leadership of Clive Lloyd.

The 1994-95 defeat against Australia had certainly tilted the balance of the sport in favour of the Australians, but legends like Curtly Ambrose and Brian Lara had kept the torch alight as West Indies cricket even as their fortunes steadily went downhill.

There has, however, been a recent glimmer of hope when Darren Sammy s men had lifted the ICC World Twenty20 in 2012. Their ascent in the shortest version of the sport has been promising, and only can hope it extends to the longer versions as well.
