Windies will never be a force in world cricket again. Sadly their hosts has no money and all their most talented players chase the dollars in T20 leagues.

Awesome moment for Kyle Mayers though. What a performance.

 

[Rodzilla]

He should retire now

The Windies of the 80’s brought a cool to the game. Awesome bowling attack and some top notch batters. The game is not as popular these days in the Caribbean

Bangladesh are a highly improved team

 

[The 2nd Spitter]

He should retire now

Without a batting average?

The moral of this story is, don't get a double century on debut if you want to become a legendary Test batsman.
