Our World T20 previews continue, with Devon discussing the West Indies. Will they repeat 2012, or will it be another turn in the downwards spiral?

December the 19th, 2013. The West Indies are 78/3, with Southee having just snared Kirk Edwards caught-behind. With Marlon Samuels the not-out batsman, Shivnarine Chanderpaul strides to the wicket. The first ball from Southee is defended; immediately the cackling starts from the crowd. 50-something part-time ‘cricket fans’ start drunkenly howling derision. That’s not batsmanship! It … More Farewell, Shivnarine
Twelve balls remain. Over 100 required to win; but that’s no longer the equation. Three wickets in hand. James Tredwell has the ball. The Kent second XI-cum-England Test spinner looks to pry the number eight out.
