4th ODI Live Streaming
A series in the Caribbean conjures up so many images; boundaries and bouncers, rum and reggae, sun and sand. Some of those are more relevant to the next five weeks than others. West Indies and England begin this series with very different objectives. The home side need to halt their downward spiral and help rejuvenate the game in a part of the world that has given the sport so much, while the visitors are building towards their ultimate challenge - the Ashes. It's difficult to know which is the tougher assignment.
England start under (another) new captain after Andrew Strauss's rapid succession in place of Kevin Pietersen, and with a number of question marks over the team. However, they are still expected - despite a mediocre Test record in recent years - to dominate West Indies and retain the Wisden Trophy for the fourth successive series.
The home side, though, have different ideas and bullish remarks have been coming for players, management and senior WICB figures. Yet, perhaps the strongest pre-series statement came from Lendl Simmons, who made 282 for West Indies A last week. He isn't in the Test squad, but his time can't be far away. Talent isn't dead in West Indies, it is just taking a little longer to find and nurture.
