LONDON, England (CMC) – West Indies have slumped to ninth in the latest International Cricket Council (ICC) Test rankings, a historic low for the Caribbean side in the game's longest format.
In the rankings released by the ICC yesterday, the Windies lost five ratings points to tumble to 67 and are now only above minnows Zimbabwe who sit on two points, having played just 14 Tests inside the last five years.
Significantly, West Indies are also now eight points behind Bangladesh who picked up four points to move to 75 and take over eighth spot in the rankings.
The bad news for the Windies come on the heels of a wretched tour of New Zealand last December when they suffered a 2-0 whitewash.
They were crushed by an innings and 67 runs in the opening Test at Wellington and soundly beaten by 240 runs in the second contest in Hamilton, with both matches finishing inside four days.
West Indies beat Zimbabwe 1-0 in a two-match series last November but enjoyed no points gains from that success.

Well after a rating like this is published, most Presidents of national Cricket Boards would quit, however in the Caribbean things will continue like they have been until someone special appears on the scene, which might take a very long time.

Your comment is very Insightful . However if YOU are a genuine Cricket fan ; YOU would realize that :
IN THE 90 YEARS OF ITS EXISTENCE ;THE
PEOPLE IN THE WICBC/CWI HAS NEVER
EVER CHANGED ITS STRUCTURE .
NOW THIS IS AFTER COMMISSIONING
SEVERAL REPORTS REGARDING ITS 90
YEARS OLD STRUCTURE .
By now it is fairly obvious that the
Members of the Worst International
Cricket Board in the Commonwealth ,
aka the WICBC/CWI have absolutely NO
INTENTION of changing their 90 years old Structure .
Quite frankly , the main reason why
they will continuously refuse to
change the Structure of the WICBC/CWI
is that they are deathly afraid that
they will lose the current Power that
they currently enjoy .

Maybe these prideless, shameless so-called cricketers think that because they are the blackest team in cricket they should be at the bottom!
