Why does cricket need a strong West Indies?

West Indies isn't a country

West Indies are a bunch of countries aren't they? So technically he is right.

Hi, langvel what you said is right but things or changing did you see the last t20 world cup which was won by the west indies, so it shows things will change never remains same as it has.

30 years from now, people will be a lot more interested in watching classical footage of Sachin, Wasim, Lara and Warne than they would be of dominant players today. Nostalgia it might be, but current crop of elite players do not compare to the legends from the 90s, Steyn is the only exception (and even he has been quite mediocre in this world cup on rather friendly wickets which you could never say about someone like Mcgrath or Ambrose). The quality of swing, spin and classical stylish stroke play (Sanga is on his way out too) has generally gone down.

Agreed, perhaps the strongest era of cricket the 90s - damn sight better than this one - but maybe that's because I grew up in the 90s, the 80s had unreal all rounders but fewer competitive teams considering that SL and Zimbabwe became decent teams and the WI were still in decline.
