ST. JOHN’S, Antigua - June 21st 1975 and June 23rd 1979, the famous two dates when West Indies won the first two ICC World Cups that are irrevocably etched in the memories and hearts of all West Indies cricket fans worldwide.
 
Fast forward to June 2019 and five heroes from those campaign triumphs; Clive Lloyd, Sir Andy Roberts, Joel Garner, Colin Croft and Deryck Murray are in England again, courtesy of Cricket West Indies.
 
This time, they are not playing, but these living legends are supporting the Jason Holder-led West Indies team throughout the World Cup as well as welcoming and entertaining Cricket West Indies team sponsors’ guests and cricket fans at different events around the UK, including with principal team partner Sandals. This also provides the opportunity to share the unique story of cricket in the West Indies and, of course, their great World Cup victories from their own perspective.

I don't expect the West Indies to win another match in this 2019 world cup. The win against Pakistan was a fluke. These guys do not have what it takes. They lack the brains required. They are incapable of understanding where a game is and thinking about what is required to win. When you look at matches being played by other teams you can see what the players are thinking based on the situation. Not so with the West Indies. They just go out there with a one-track mind and no matter what the situation is with the game, they can't adjust. This shows mental deficiency. A large part of the game of cricket is intelligence. No matter how far you can hit a ball or how fast you can bowl, without the mental application you are going to lose nine times out of ten. I therefore expect West Indies to finish last behind first timers Afghanistan.

And if they don't what?? If they don't win another match? If they don't lose? If they don't finish behind Afghanistan? I don't quite understand what your "And if they don't" is referring to.
