What’s next for the West Indies?
West Indies are no longer the force they used to be. They haven’t been in years. Since the days of Courtney and Curtly, Patrick and Malcolm, Vic and Carl, things haven’t really gone right for the West Indians. Brian Lara excepted, the side is a shadow of its former glory, and even Lara has struggled in recent years. And so their struggles have further escalated with the resignation of Shivnarine Chanderpaul as captain of the side, just three weeks before the Zimbabwe series. Preparation for a test series (even against Zimbabwe, who are no strangers to team turmoil themselves) is fraught enough, without worrying about who will captain the side. Reports suggest that the role might be handed back to Lara, for the third time in his career.
Given his failure twice already, what do they believe has changed to make them think he’ll be successful this time? But are there any real alternatives? Ramnaresh Sarwan seems like the obvious choice to me, but his lack of discipline might prevail the third streak of captaincy for Lara.
