Yes folks there's was a time i could not stomach a defeat of my beautiful team. Cricket was all I breathed.
Amazing how things change. I never watch more than an over or 2 anymore. I would love to hear news of West indies winning a match but thats impossible. I feel nothing when this team loses. I even laugh at the scoreline now.
Then I start wondering what it would take to make me love west indies cricket again.
Is it definitely gone for good?

Come on Dr Junjo, bad grammar is not acceptable from someone of your stature. The other (would be) Dr on the thread would never approve.

This is exactly the way I feel. I follow West Indies Cricket only by the headlines in the news. No longer watch a match anymore.
It's a shame what was done by the WICB to destroy cricket in recent years and alienate many players. There is no more passion and this generation will NOT follow cricket. We missed the boat on being inclusive and a generation of cricketers is lost. Trying to reboot the team every few months with new players, coaches, etc. has failed.
I predict that cricket in the region will eventually be dead. International Test matches and ODIs are no longer carried on TV or radio in Jamaica. There is no interest in it. Fans cannot even identify with these players even if they are losing because all iconic players are gone.
It is sad, but the days of watching a cricket match all day for me is long gone.

I started feeling so since the Sammy days. From the time WI decided to not put the best eleven on the field the downward spiral was hastened and te fans were alienated.

I used to feel like you...then, God created the CPL.
My enthusiasm has just switched from the West Indies to Jamaica....
Of course, I'm a West Indian again when the World T20 champs come around. Which reminds me...the West Indies play four T20s against Pakistan from March 26-April 2. Now, that's a side I'm interested in!
I just can't be arsed to get worked up over the 50-overs and Test side any more....
The only Test side I get excited about nowadays is South Africa. Even Sri Lanka are following the West Indies route!
