What Is The Reason For The Collapse Of The West Indian Cricket?

26 November 2009 11 Comments

Throughout last 10 or 12 years, it seems West Indian cricket is not going very good way. Now they are not regarded as a powerful team. But in the 80s 70s and early 90s they had very strong team. Hasn’t there good domestic structure for cricket?

    1. Due to increase in interference of Politics and man management .
    2. Greed for more money searching out for most sponsers who wpould pay them heavily.
    3 .Lack of Fiery and qlty fast bowlers.
    4 . Lack of respect for the country representing and fans .
    5 Inexperienced seaon players from domestic level.
    6 Lack of facility in improving WI cricket by not sending uncapped players / domestic cricketers to other countries and getting used to the conditions at international level.
    7 Selecting non qualified coaches
    If Wi cricketers go under the process of relaxation and meditation and show passionism for their counrty and search for good qlty, express , fit, bowlers and qlty spinners , and players capable of stying in crease and know how to handle the situation at that point and have the mental strength to play and fight for their country they will be the fiercest team at present equalling the old wi team.

    Rise of basketball as the most played sport in the WI, with a corresponding lack of interest in the best young players taking up cricket.

    They are taking basketball, being near to America where basketball is as we have cricket in India,
    Basketball gives them hell lot of money, playing cricket they can’t even dream to earn such a huge amount.
    Duh…………….

    Its due to lack of Team work- Mutual understanding and due to better captain

    well I guess it is just purely coz of politics within the team and within the selectors. And pls also note LACK OF PROFESSIONAL ETHICS… How else could you comment on a side which has seen one of the all time greats of the game even in this present era.. Not to mention the past!!!!!
