Discussion of the West Indies Former era of dominance with the West Indies legends Shiv Chanderpaul, Joel Garner, and Curtly Ambrose. And how the prevailing side can hit those heights.
The world cup that was held in the year 1979 was one of the most one-sided world cup ever. The team of the West Indies played this world cup very energetically. Also, they won many group stage matches from the other competitor teams. But in a group stage match with Sri-lanka, the match was abandoned without being a ball balled and the match was washed out. Also, with their final match with England, the team won the finals with a total of 92-runs which was a fair representation of their dominance. The two highest scorers of West Indies in the world cup were Gordon Greenidge, who scored 253 runs which were the highest runs scored in the world cup. The second highest scorer of the world cup was also from west indies and he scored a total of 217 runs and his name was Viv Richards.
While the discussion was going on the 6-ft 8-inch west Indian fast bowler Joel Garner said that he enjoyed playing the match and is proud about the strategy that his team used. Also, he said that he took many wickets in the tournament. He also, said that the team just put everything they have in. And the, the most significant thing was that we appreciated each other’s organization and bolstered each other en route.
West Indies were impressive all through the 1990s, as Richie Richardson acquired the group from Viv Richards what’s more, introduced the time of Brian Lara, Shiv Chanderpaul, Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh. That time of strength, which was made conceivable because of the ideal mix of terrorizing, quality and aptitude, remains the most legendary and dreaded ever of. Which makes the challenging times that West Indian cricket has endured since even more hard to grasp.
Also, at the time of discussion, the West Indian former player Ambrose who took 630 universal wickets between 1988-2000, and 24 in the world cup said that it’s extremely miserable to see West Indies cricket the manner in which it is. He also said that the WI team were so acclimated with being Number 1 on the planet and being the group that everybody needs to beat. And to consider to be as a previous cricketer is difficult.
West Indies player Nadir came at the turn of the decade between February 2009 and July 2012. At that time the West Indies team could win only two of 33 Test matches which gave a serious impact on their ODI structure. The team was neglected to meet all requirements for the 2017 Champions Trophy through the rankings framework. Ambrose also said that No group can administer the world for eternity. And the team has to face the phrase of losing players because it is hard to find and discover the players like Brian Lara, Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd, and Malcolm Marshall.
But as we know that with time everything changes and also with time there would be many talents appearing in front of us and will lead down the West Indies cricket team to the top 3 charts of the world cricket. Also, in the discussion, some talks were regarding the cricket player Daren Sammy that how in 2016 rove the West Indies to the World T20 title, offering an upbeat update of their capacity to contend at the highest point of the world game. So as to keep similar mix-ups from happening once more, the CWI has moved to make the whole household cricket setup proficient over the most recent six years, boosting youths to take up cricket as a full-time profession.
And also after that, there is the rise and ubiquity of the CPL – the Caribbean establishment T20 competition – which can help change the accomplishment of the group, whenever directed effectively. Also, the former cricketer garner said that T20 cricket is useful for the customers and individuals who run the competitions. In any case, it’s significant that the cash returns into cricket. In the event that West Indies needs to have the eventual fate of cricket, at that point you put the cash you make once again into the grassroots dimension. Also, Shiv Chanderpaul said about T20 that this the platform the following arrangements of cricket are originating from. Shiv Chanderpaul, whose ODI run count for the West Indies is just bettered by Brian Lara and Chris Gayle, also it is sure that the organization has turned a corner. He also said the West Indies cricket association doesn’t have the cash that is being pushed into cricket that another board may have. Also, the team completed a ton over the most recent couple of years. Shiv Chanderpaul also gave an example that he used to do everything all alone with no cash, no agreements, nothing. He needed to discover his own cash on the off chance that he needed to travel. Presently the nations in the Caribbean all have contracted players, the neighborhood young men all have contracts. That implies all the young men are going to play in territorial competitions.
The improvement is starting to appear in the West Indies outcomes. A 2-1 triumph in the three-coordinate Test arrangement against England in January and February was pursued by a 2-2 draw with World No. 1 group in the resulting ODI arrangement. They head into this current summer’s World Cup as longshots, yet additionally the same number of individuals dim ponies. The main potential issue is that the most recent decade’s lost age implies that the current group, including abilities, for example, Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer, is unpracticed.
Indeed, even Darren Bravo, Kemar Roach, and Shannon Gabriel, all matured 30 or 31, have not played much universal cricket for their age. Ambrose said that what the west indies team needs to comprehend is that the incredible groups of the past had heaps of senior folks to sustain the new folks that are coming into the group. As of now, all these folks are essentially beginning their professions. On the off chance that just there was a pool of ex-players willing to loan their experience, you may inquire. Chanderpaul also said that When he was in the group, he would converse with them and help them, especially when he was out in the center.
Also, he said that he sees the England Cricket Board put Mark Ramprakash and Graeme Thorpe as batting advisors. That is something the team needs to begin taking a gander at. Also, the team has a ton of folks with involvement in the Caribbean. Chanderpaul sais that we need a group of passionate players to work with youthful players to enable them to comprehend their cricket. With things heading the correct way, taking Chanderpaul’s recommendation could see the World Cup-winning heroics of 1979 recreated sooner than might have appeared to be conceivable.
