– The latest tour of the West Indies by the world’s best cricket unit could be an eye opener for cricket in the West Indies in several ways
asks Donald Duff
After securing a creditable 1-1 series draw with Sri Lanka in the 2008 Digicel Home series and then winning the One-Dayers 2-0, cricket fans in the region are awaiting with bated breath the arrival of the `Awesome Aussies’ and the subsequent three-test series.
In their two previous series the West Indies team endured mixed results.
They fell away after a positive start in South Africa, where they won the first test and lost the remaining two but showed tremendous character to square the series against Sri Lanka after losing the first test at the National Stadium at Providence, in the first ever test to be played at that venue.
