Where do West Indies go from here?

International sports may have witnessed teams suffering incredible highs and terrible lows, but the story that has been of West Indies would be among the most intriguing. From raiding the best of opponents in cricket to touching lowest of lows that cannot even be fathomed (think of the latest Chris Gayle episode), Caribbean cricket has come down crashing. Worse, no one in the world has bothered to even lend them a helping hand. Amid all the drama that has been taking place, it was a massive relief for those who care about the West Indies cricket that their series in Australia was over.

The fact that a few of the Caribbean players will now be returning home is, once again, heartening news. After all, the Australian sojourn was turning nothing but a nightmare. In cricketing as well as non-cricketing terms, this tour of Australia would perhaps stand out among the worst they have had in their history.
