West Indies are back to their best after 50-over low
Evening Standard
|May 31, 2024
WEST INDIES’ failure to qualify for last year’s 50-over World Cup was billed as a new low in a story of sad cricketing decline.
It was the first time in men’s World Cups across either format, stretching back 20 renewals and spanning six decades, that, as the cliche goes, everyone’s favourite second team had not been present. As their own side crashed and burned, England fans missed the fallback more than most.
Romantic optimism about the state of West Indies cricket, however, soared this winter, with the magnificent story of Shamar Joseph and the historic victory his bowling inspired over Australia at the Gabba. They will no doubt make popular tourists on these shores for a three-match Test series that starts in early July.
