The West Indies Cricket Team were doomed from the start

The West Indies Cricket Team are one of the true pioneers of the sport. But the past 12 months have been some of the worst in their history. In this video, we look into how things went from bad to worst, resulting in new records being set for Windies Cricket and the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup, but in the most heartbreaking way possible.

As a English kid who first started watching cricket in the 90s I used to be terrified of the WIndies.Walsh/Ambrose peppering out batsman and Lara/Chanderpaul seemingly able to bat for hours. It's been sad to watch the slow decline, cricket needs to do more to help nations outside of the top 3 I think. The stronger and more competitive world cricket is, the more eyes will be on the product long term

[@roosevelttheodore1799]

@@KamleshMallick No, individual nations would do worse, and will only ever be associate teams. the problem with West Indies are not enough playing time (the league is too short most players play only 7 regional ODI games within one month for the entire year. if you have a bad month then you don't get looked at and if luck has to wait another year for redemption, and if you are in form but too young, then you lay and rot for another year. Some players are lucky to play in T20 franchises, but most WI players that do don't even play for the West Indies!!) and poor-quality coaching. It's a boys' club here, they only want to hire black coaches. It's something that won't change if they divide into many smaller teams.

Giving credit where credit is due. This Dutch team has been absolutely phenomenal in the last few years or so. Hardly anyone watched the Pakistan vs Netherlands 3 match ODI series prior to the Asia Cup in 2022. But those few who did, know that it was tight. The Netherlands were barely stopped from beating us in 2 of the 3 games, only reason they lost was the death bowling of Wasim Jr, Naseem and Haris. They had an excellent T20WC, qualifying in a difficult group in the 1st round, and then somehow managing to beat SA. You can imagine the look of shock on my face, as I got up at 7 am,thinking this was the day Pakistans WC campaign came to a close and the absolute delight I felt as the words "SA need 40 runs from 24 balls to win" flashed across the TV as I turned it on. They will be the underdogs in the CWC for sure, one upset is guaranteed at least.

The thing is, the rot set in years ago. I remember Windies teams in the late 90s being crap fielders and batting like millionaires. But they had enough truly elite, once in a generation, players to get away with it. Gayle, Lara, Chanderpaul, Hooper, Ambrose, Walsh to name a few. But once they went and the grassroots investment got cut and more players started playing franchise cricket to supplement the lousy incomes from Windies cricket.... it's all downhill.

[@AnuragSingh-bm9oq]

What's so confusing is that WI had a bowler who defended 7 runs in the last over but didn't use him for the super over. I've never seen Holder bowl a decent over at the death.

its sad to see the situation but as a fellow west indian the major problem is the investment , this caused a lot of players to sign for overseas franchises and refuse to play for the team

[@supermario0945]

As a West Indian this was so interesting and still difficult to swallow, for many years we ruled, and now we are nothing, a laughing stock of the world. The sad thing is, seeing things on the inside from club level, there is no hope for reformation anytime soon, there is too much politics involved, we lack money and resources and also proper rebuilding strategy. Our players are very t20 focused and it’s all they play for anymore yet as a cricket nation we are still failing at international t20. Essentially we are doomed with no hope for the future, because the people who want to rebuild aren’t able to, and the people who can rebuild it don’t care to.

​@@KamleshMallickGiving up on the concept of the West Indies means giving up on the idea of the Caribbean/West Indian region being a cohesive political, economic and cultural unit, the very thing people put their political and business careers on the line over as it is the consensus that no island can truly go at it alone Singapore-style and we need each other to survive, no matter how much we get on each other's nerves. So no, that will never happen unless people have seriously lost faith in the regional project first as the WI cricket is the last remnant of a time when the whole region was a political unit, and perhaps is aspiration for when we could be one again. So nope, unless things get really bad on a political, economic and cultural level that an island decides to go rogue, it'll never happen because the people and governments will never let that happen

This was a truly sad day for the Caribbean. I believe the ODI WC is too constrained with only ten national teams allowed to play in India.

As a fan of cricket it is good to see teams like Ireland, Netherlands, UAE and Zimbabwe come up and able to beat teams like the West Indies, but a bit sad to see what they have become. I think franchises and T20 cricket are some for the things behind what has happened here. It looks like they play there 1 day cricket like a T20 instead of the hybrid test and T20 game it is. I really hope that the ICC release or come up with a better schedule in the future that can successfully have international cricket across all 3 formats work out. Currently one day cricket is starting to fall away and only gets played in World Cup years and very little every other year and with franchise cricket becoming where the money is I fear that international cricket will suffer too, With probably the exception of a couple of teams being able to play there best teams.

[@Rikka_V1]

Luckily for South Africa they seem to have atleast 1 more generation left with the players as Markram, Rabada,Klaasen and co. Honestly thought retirement of de Viliiers, du Plessis, Amla era would be South Africa's end too but they did well to gather new talents.

I grew up and played cricket in Barbados during the Walsh, Ambrose, and Lara era. That era was the start, in my opinion, of applied analytics in cricket. This is where West Cricket was left behind. We continued to this day depending on "individual" cricket to win matches when the game has evolved to being a FULLY "team applied" sport. 60% to 80% of winning the game of Cricket is now based on what was done off the field, and this includes but not limited to; amount of time to prepare, the study of the opposition, data analytics for both WI team and opponents, and team chemistry events outside of training. Our biggest challenge here in the West Indies, is the WICB. The game has evolved, but not the minds of those who continue to manage our team, and the fandom while dwindling, is growing fed up of this level of mismanagement and embarrassment. I heard a caller on a popular radio show program (What Drives Me Crazy) here in Barbados, he made a call for a fresh perspective, "try a female leader as head of WICB". This video was an excellent assessment of some of the challenges facing the WI Team. Cheers to that, and I am now subscribed!

I'm an Aussie but I've always been a huge fan of the Windies, it's like having a second team u support like in footy, i support Parra but the Chooks are my second team so at least i have one team to go for in the finals. Windie's are my second team, countries & the people from around the Carribbean have that similar laid back vibe that we Aussie's have in our day to day lives. It's been devo watching the Windie's slide to the bottom of world cricket. U don't wanna see any country in the cricketing world fall to where they're now. If it wasn't for the Windie's working side by side with Australia then ODI cricket wouldn't have happened or wouldn't have been a success as a format. To watch the Windie's not even making it to the ODI World Cup was just shocking, U can't have a world cup without the Windie's being there. I thought as a test nation, so being top tiered would've meant straight into the world cup, but the same happened with South Africa that was struggling to make it to the world cup coz like the Windie's, South Africa not being there just wouldn't be right, it's just not cricket as the famous quote goes

Cool vid dude. Well edited and good analysis. I think the main problem with not just the West Indies team but with cricket as a whole is the focus on franchise/ T20 cricket. Why care about International O.d.i. & test matches when the IPL is not only short form cricket but more lucrative? We have seen T20 leagues spring up everywhere and it's all about big hitting and less about tactical cricket.

In worldcup qualifying matches, they got depth in their batting as well till no.11. But they still couldn't quite make it through for various reasons such as their fielding efforts which were poor right throughout the tournament and also their application when it came to batting, felt they could've shown some respect to the opposition bowlers by constantly rotating the strike instead of trying to smack the ball out of the park all the time.

I will blame for the franchise cricket for most the decline in Cricket. Cricketers are more focused on earning from franchise than playing for their national squad. The same players while playing franchise cricket give a very different approach while on the field. Most of these players use the national squad as a resume to get picked up in a franchise. Also T20 cricket is more of just hitting big than doing a game with strategy. It might seem to be appealing to non cricketing world and earn more, but it has eroded the quality of cricket overall. Pitches are made batter friendly, and focus is on big hitting only. Running between wickets is like a bygone era.
