The West Indies may be lowly-ranked on the ICC ODI table, but they have the arsenal to surprise anyone of the major nations to ensure a lengthy run at #CWC19.
After the two-time champions had to endure the ignominy of having to qualify for this World Cup, the Windies have managed to turn around their fortunes in spectacular fashion.
Through the assured leadership of Jason Holder, they have formed a unit that plays first for the badge in front, and not the name on the back.

The stark freaking fact is that those in the governance of West Indies Cricket have heen and remain Clueless
regarding making all Our Players fully
Competitive in the International Cricket Arena .
For many years despite no having a Regional Cricket League ,or Cricket
Academies Our players were dominant
in International Cricket due to the
following factors .
First most of them were allowed to play in England when not representing the Region in the International Cricket Arena .
Obviously when England decided to limit Overseas Players from playing
Cricket in England , this had an impact on the competitiveness of Our Players in International Cricket .
Now if those in the governance of West Indies Cricket had brains they
would have quickly come to the Realization that they should have a
Regional Cricket League .
Obviously forming a Regional Cricket
League would have kept our Players
skills sharp & finely honed . At the zenith of Our Players dominance in
International Cricket , the Worst International Cricket Board in the
Commonwealth , aka the WICBC , missed a golden opportunity to have
a Regional Cricket League , with the
support of Financial Sponsors .
HISTORY INFORMS US THAT THE PEOPLE
IN THE WICBC DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
TO FORM A REGIONAL CRICKET LEAGUE .
Then the ICC decided to change the
International Tour Format , no longer would visiting Teams get opportunities to get acclimatized to
the conditions of the Weather and the Pitches .
THE WICBC IN ITS USUAL STUPIDITY ,
STILL BLUNTLY REFUSED TO UNDERSTAND
THE FREAKING FACT THAT THESE TWO
FACTORS WERE ENGINEERED TO DILUTE
THE DOMINANCE OF OUR PLAYERS .
About 7 or 8 years ago it finalled
dawned on the WICBC that it should
have a Regional Cricket League , when Our Players dominance & competitiveness were diluted ; and
Our Players & Teams were and are
unattractive to potential Financial
Sponsors .
THE WICBC FAILED TO UNDERSTAND THE
FREAKING FACT THAT POTENTIAL
FINANCIAL SPONSORS ARE ONLY
ATTRACTED TO WINNERS NOT TEAMS AT
OR NEAR THE BOTTOM OF INTERNATIONAL
CRICKET .
The Golden Eras of West Indies Cricket
were achieved with very little input
from the Worst International Cricket
Board in the Commonwealth, aka the
WICBC .
The two factors that I have cited above , namely the limiting of Overseas Players by Rngland , & the change in the International Tour
Schedule , were warning signs regarding the competitiveness of Our
Players in the International Cricket
Arena .
Sadly due to the Total Incompetence
of the Worst International Cricket
Board in the Commonwealth , its members failed to understand the
severity & impact these two factors
would ultimate have on the competitivenes of Our Players in
International Cricket .
Quite frankly , I am of the opinion
that the WICBC cannot produce any
credible excuse for its total Incompetence regarding its performance .
Its members can seek solice in the
freaking fact that their Lackeys in
the Regional Sports Media , were also hoodwinked , by the Machiavellian Tactics of the ICC .
Let me again state a freaking fact
for those who dispute what I have stated :
WHICH INTERNATIONAL CRICKET TEAM HAD
THE FASTEST BOWLERS IN THE WORLD
WHEN THE ICC DECIDED TO LIMIT THE
NUMBER OF BOUNCERS A PACE BOWLER CAN
BOWL IN AN OVER TO 1 .
