But it wasn’t like that from the better part between 1970s to 1990s when the West Indies cricket team was the most feared competitors on the cricket field, mainly because of their fast bowlers like Malcolm Marshall, Andy Roberts, Joel Garner, Michael Holding, Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh and batsmen like Sir Garfield Sobers, Gorddon Greenidge, Clive Lloyd, Alvin Kallicharran, Rohan Kanhai, Sir Issac Vivian Richards and of course Brian Lara.

Apart from above the West Indies has given more legends like George Headley, Sir Frank Worrel, Sir Clyde Walcott, Sir Everton Weekes and Wesley Hall. The history of West Indies cricket is so rich that it can make any team feel jealous about it. The team has won three ICC Cricket World Cups of 1975 and 1979. They have also won the ICC World Twenty20 in 2012 and the ICC Champions Trophy in 2004. They are the first team to win back to back World Cups as well.
