Though the opposition teams in their last four Test matches are lowly ranked, it can be argued that results by West Indies are encouraging from a statistical perspective.

It is the first instance since 2012-13 that West Indies have played three or more consecutive Tests without a defeat. As my old school cricket teammate, Trevor Eastmond, later to become a well-known comedian, would say, “clap for that”.

Prez Skerritt's administration has turned around the dismal administration and team performances of WI in the last administration which under-developed WI cricket with its many friendly, insular and "homie must eat a food" picks. Imagine it took Covid-19 to uncover talented players who were languishing in our domestic leagues, during the previous administration.
