Fire in the Belly

Everytime, the West Indies start a Test series,I hope that they will go back to their winning ways.Each series proves me wrong.Besides their cricket, their inter personal problems and their scrap with the administration remain in the news.If they have to come out of the rut that they are in, they have to do that in spite of the system.It is true that the West Indies free lancers have now found an avenue in the IPL.More possibilities are there now than the NBA.However, a working cricket culture is required to keep producing good cricketers.A strong West Indies performance may even make a North American League possible. A 5 AM India time start will have sufficiently big audience in India besides the Desis in the USA.For that to happen, the West Indies must get back to believing in themselves and claw to a middling ranking in Tests.
