About West Indies Cricket West Indies Away Tours West Indies Home Tours

Cricket at Kensington Oval

For many years the West Indies team ruled the cricket world, playing undefeated in a Test series for over 15 years. Recently the West Indies team has suffered several losses but with the emergence of players of the calibre of Chris Gayle, Ramnaresh Sarwan, and Dwayne Bravo the future for the West Indies cricket team looks very good!

West Indians are passionate about their cricket, quick to cheer when the team performs well but also quick to criticize a poor performance. Thousands of West Indians always turn out to watch their team play .... and hopefully win!

Cricket is seen as a unifying force in the West Indies, bringing together players (and supporters) from across the region. This gentleman's game has brought considerable exposure to the islands of the Caribbean, with the West Indian cricketers being remembered not only for their incredible talent and skills but also for their deportment and sense of fair play.

Cricket in the Jungle is a wickedly-funny illustrated book of Dave Martins' classic calypso where a band of animals decide to take to the cricket pitch one Sunday after church! Great for kids and adults alike. Includes a music CD of the original song.

Anyone interested in, and especially supporters of, West Indies cricket should own CAUGHT IN ACTION - 20 years of West Indies Cricket Photography.

This high quality book features superb action photos of all the modern heroes of West Indies Cricket, from the Clive Lloyd glory days to the ups and downs of the Lara era. Articles by Wes Hall and Clive Lloyd, with comments and captions by Tony Cozier.


An excellent coffee table book is WISDEN CARIBBEAN CRICKET - Images of 75 Years of the West Indian Game, which includes profiles of the thirty West Indian Cricketers of the Century nominees.

Cricket is also extremely popular with the ladies! As a matter of interest, the only lady cricket commentator in the Caribbean is Donna Symmonds, who is a Barbadian.
