They aren't technically knocked out just yet ..Also when you concede 30 in a super over , you'd probably be more traumatised than angry ..Like you want to see some emotion by the players after getting knocked out of world cup
They have second chance as 14 more matches still to be playHow did West Indies get in this situation by not qualifying for the world cup
West Indies bowling is found wanting. They couldn't even defend 375. They still can win over Scots and Oman but SL will be tough. And even with 6 points from 3 wins, they may not qualify.0

Vs Scotland
Vs oman
Vs Srilanka
All 3 Westindies need to win with good Fielding / Batting & Bowling
As Sri Lankan fans we are watching how it unfolds. For us, to accept our team as remotely good, they have to annihilate all these sides - to team's credit, which they have done up to now - including Zim and WI. Then only we could think of being competitive against better sides.Srilanka and Zimbabwe are both almost through now with the 4 points and a good NRR. They have to mess up big time in the super sixes to not qualify, which I don't think will happen.
Disagree. Quality of cricket at the second level has gone up now. Annihilation of minnows is not a by-gone conclusion now. As long as they can win all of the matches in the qualifiers, it is good enough for them to show up as a team that can win the main world cup too.As Sri Lankan fans we are watching how it unfolds.

Too late,but still they can replace Rostan with him. But i have a doubt, maybe they will replace Akeal with him for more depth.West Indies have called up Kevin Sinclair to replace Yannic Cariah.

Si Lankan teams of late 90s and 00s will still make them look like utter minnows. We need a team as half as good as that.Disagree. Quality of cricket at the second level has gone up now.

But thoroughly deserved!West Indies likely to go out is massive
Nah, missed out on the T20 World Cup last year was only the tip of the icebergWest Indies likely to go out is massive
The cuss out for this World Cup is unprecedented so I'm not surprised.I notice that Windies Cricket IG page has restricted comments on their posts.
Such thinned skins.
Carl Hooper was right!
