In 1987 WC
Walsh asked PAK batsmen back, after he refused to Mankad him
WI lost and did not qualify
1996 WC- Chanders out, WI lost vs OZ by 5 runs after being in command
1999 WC - did not advance due to RR even though Steve Waugh tried to help them
2003 WC in SA - rained out vs Bang - Kenya advanced
Previous ICC tourney - WI lost wicket in last over(?Pollard) - DL rate went up, WI did not advance - by 1 run I think.
you can add the rest ...
2018 - WI QUALIFY after winning by 5 runs - DL!!
I say about FREAKING time the luck and the rain gods came to us

We can still beat anybody on a given day!!
At least now, I can watch the WC without getting depressed

Not so sure about that. The England win last year after Lewis bladed 176 really highlighted how shallow our team is. Would take a lot of stars aligning to beat England or India in a 50 over. Saffies, Aus and NZ seem a few light years ahead of us too. Realistically Narine and Bravo aren't coming back, and I'm not sure Pollard and Russell add enough to the team to bridge that gap.
All that said, I hope you're right and I'm wrong.

It won't be exciting if Windies start the World Cup losing their first 4 or 5 games. Would be even more depressing seeing them play out the string of meaningless matches if they're eliminated from semi final contention early. Here's hoping they turn it around.

Yes - this team is not methodical especially through the middle overs but in the shorter format 2 or 3 big performances can win a big match
