The West Indies defence of their T20 World Cup title, branded by Cricket West Indies (CWI) as Mission Maroon, as expected, has ended catastrophically.
.
Four massive losses and one victory squeaked out is the summation to all the preceding pomp and hype emanating from the selection panel and the team. Only France, the 1998 FIFA World Cup champions, who were eliminated from the 2002 World Cup in the first round having failed to win a match, in fact, they did not even score a single goal, have departed from a world tournament with their heads hung lower.

West Indies stars offered ‘temporary amnesty’ by board
Hard-line selection policy to be relaxed
With West Indies in a race to qualify for the 2019 World Cup, their cricket board has offered “temporary amnesty” to the players who do not fit their selection criteria in order to have them available to play ODIs. This could pave way for the return of stars such as Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Samuel Badree as soon as next month when the team is scheduled for a tour of England, as had been earlier reported by ESPNcricinfo.
Cricket West Indies (CWI) has had a stringent policy of picking only those players who are active in the domestic one-day tournament for 50-over internationals. But, with one eye on putting the best XI on the park, the board and the West Indies Players Association have called a truce.
The Politics of West Indies Cricket – by Dr. Dhanpaul Narine
Dr. Dhanpaul Narine
Kevin Pietersen’s book is a good place to start. His views are less about cricket and more about the politics of pettiness in English cricket.

Here is one for the purists: In November 2013 Dave Cameron, President of the West Indies Cricket Board, paid tribute to Shivnarine Chanderpaul for becoming the first West Indian to play in 150 Tests. Continue reading →
Gayle scores 215- fastest ODI double century – 16 sixes equals ODI record
After scoring the fastest ODI double-hundred, against Zimbabwe on Tuesday, Chris Gayle admitted he had been under pressure to score runs following a lean run of form recently. Gayle’s 215, which came off 147 balls, was the fifth double-hundred in ODIs and the first in a World Cup, and his record 372-run stand with Marlon Samuels – the highest in ODIs – propelled West Indies to a formidable 372 for 2 in Canberra.
Gayle said that people had been expecting him to score a double-hundred for a while now and was happy to deliver. “There has been a lot of pressure. The runs haven’t been coming,” Gayle said. “It’s the first time in my career that so many people wanted me to score runs. The messages kept coming in – on Twitter. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen that so many people wanted me to perform. I’m glad I gave them something to cheer about. Continue reading →
