	History of the West Indian cricket team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		West Indians George Headley scored the most runs (703) in the rubber and Learie Constantine took the most wickets (18).
		The West Indian sides of the time were always led by white men, and the touring party to Australia comprised seven whites and eleven "natives", and the West Indian Board of Control wrote to their Australian counterparts saying "that all should reside at the same hotels".
		The Indian tour saw the debut of Vivian Richards, arguably the finest West Indian batsman ever, and Gordon Greenidge, who joined a strong batting line-up that already included Alvin Kallicharran and opener Roy Fredericks in addition to Rowe and Lloyd.

	Cricket
		The game of cricket was exported from England to all of its colonies, including those in Asia and Africa, during the nineteenth century as a way to reinforce a hegemonic cultural order in the face of the emancipation of England's slave population.
		Cricket was through and through a "gentleman's" game, and all others were excluded by their inability to demonstrate an understanding of cricket's image of the ideal Englishman.
		Needless to say, West Indian planters, fearful of changing social structures in the islands, welcomed cricket in the West Indies and by 1840 many were staging cricket matches on their plantations (38).

		May I remind you that the West Indians were bowled out for 47 runs on their way to an equally humiliating defeat in the first.

		I guess every cricket team does but in the case of the Windies it just was remarkably evident.
		West Indies is one of the best in world, they have produced the greatest ever players over the years, players like Viv Richards, Lara, Clive Llyod, Holding, Garner, Haynes are just few of them.
		West Indies are very unpredictable, as they showed when touring England, losing all tests and then winning the ICC trophy.

	History of West Indian cricket - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		When the West Indies just started playing cricket they were the beating stick of Test Cricket but we improved and became the ones doing the beating from the 1960s to the 1980s.
		Cricket was considered to be a gentleman's sport, therefore if fls were dominating the sport then we too were gentlemen.
		Cricket has moved from a sport that every West Indian supported to a dying sport struggling to stay alive because it can't compare to other sports like basketball and football.

		The Australian cricket team arrived in India that year having won a record 15 test matches in a row, and duly made it 16 by crushing India in Mumbai in the first test of a three-match series.
		What makes it particularly absurd is that cricket, a game with genuinely multicultural appeal (unlike football, which despite its popularity in all sectors of society is now monocultural, the culture it celebrates being celebrity), should be the only sport whose national team harks back to the racial uniformity of the 1950s.
		The beauty of test cricket is that unless one team is much better than the other (witness the facile encounters between England and Bangladesh earlier in the summer), it is very hard for either side to stay on top for the whole of a single day’s play, never mind all four or five.

	West Indian cricket supporters shunning team - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		In the game of cricket, the West Indies is easily one of the leaders in terms of the technical know-how and experience of its retired players of recent vintage or of the long past.
		It is painful to watch the West Indies team floundering from one Test series to another while we possess a body of knowledge and expertise that is the envy of our competitors but which is untapped.
		The West Indies' competitive advantage in these areas is greater in cricket than in any other field, but these attributes lie dormant while we are being humiliated.
