West Indies Men's Cricket Team History
The history of West Indies, the cricket team, is also a history of colonialism and resistance to it, of nationalism and shared dreams bigger than it, and of migration and the economic anxieties underpinning it. Go back to 1930 and you begin to understand some of the complexities: in their first home series, West Indies had four captains in four Tests, each drawn from the British colony hosting the game. All four were white.
For all that, this was a team with serious potential: George Headley and Learie Constantine, the first two great West Indian cricketers, combined forces in Georgetown to deliver their first Test win.
It took until 1960 for West Indies to appoint their first full-time non-white captain, Frank Worrell, and a cricketing force was unleashed. His first match in charge was the famous Tied Test at the Gabba, and that tour ended with thousands of Melburnians out on the streets to hail the West Indians parading past in open-top cars.
For most of the second half of the 20th century, West Indies were the best team in the world, as the era of Worrell, Weekes and Walcott transitioned to that of the peerless Garfield Sobers, and then the all-conquering, pace-fuelled dynasties led by Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards. When they went and claimed a maiden series win in Australia in 1979-80, West Indies began a 15-year period without a single Test series defeat. They were pioneering forces in ODIs too, winning the first two World Cups.
West Indies continued to produce superstars in the 90s and thereafter - Curtly Ambrose, Brian Lara and Shivnarine Chanderpaul, to name just three - but they began to dwindle as a cricketing force and went through cycles of on-field underperformance and administrative crises. The T20 era has been defined by West Indies players such as Chris Gayle and Andre Russell, who starred in two T20 World Cup wins and, with the likes of Dwayne Bravo and Sunil Narine, became giants of the franchise game, but who were also often at loggerheads with a board grappling with the realities of the 21st century cricket economy.
