West Indies National Cricket Team

With a excellant few performances against South Africa (disputedly the best test team on the world), West Indies have shown that they are not the team that lost miserably to England in their last tour. Their problem in that tour was batting, they scored very inconsistantly, with innings scoring under 100 runs, and then others over 300. Consistant scoring, especially in the first innings, is one of the most important aspects of the game.

At the end of the tour of England Ambrose is set to retire from international cricket. This may also be Walsh's last according to channel 4.

Walsh and Ambrose have taken more wickets between them than the rest of the side. Thet also have gave the leat amount of runs away. The three West Indian Players who can save them are Walsh, Ambrose and Lara and if two of them go it is not looking good. ...
