Experience is the key to doing well in Test match cricket. At this stage in the series, India have plenty of it and the West Indies have none because the 1-0 scoreline says it all. Chris Gayle writes.

The ongoing West Indies-India cricket series may not be watched by millions of television fans, but if you’ve been missing out on the fun, it’s not the cricketers you should be following but the West Indian  spectators. Ravi Chaturvedi writes.

West Indies are geared up for what I feel will be an interesting Test series against India. Although they lost the one-day series 2-3, they won the last two matches and that should give them a lot of confidence, writes Chris Gayle.

There's a lot of speculation about the meeting between the West Indies Cricket Board and me. There are all sorts of allegations doing the rounds, most of it media leaks, but the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) hasn't come out and cleared the air, writes Chris Gayle.

When Munaf Patel came here in 2006, he had some pace, now he is spinning the ball! The statement from legendary Andy Roberts is discouraging but not surprising. Munaf has lost some pace, but to say he's spinning the ball is sheer exaggeration, writes Aakash Chopra.

Many adjectives, some un-parliamentary, can be ascribed to the Board of Control for Cricket in India, yet none fits better than 'technically challenged', writes Rohit Bhaskar.

The series defeat against India will be tough on us. It was a game which had a lot of twists and turns but the West Indies could not pull off a win against their top opponents, writes Chris Gayle. Road ahead

For decades, the marauding West Indies cricketers were known as the Calypsos. Their natural aggression on the field, athleticism, their sense of fair play and flair, not to speak of the romance of fierce individuals coming through from distinctly different islands, had the world spellbound. N Ananthanarayanan writes.

The West Indies cricket team may be down and out these days but cricket discussion is never too far away in Trinidad, the first port of call for the Indian team. N Ananthanarayanan writes.

Cricket in the Caribbean means party time, and the people here take pride in their boisterous and fun-loving ways, coming from an island where the carnival early in the year brings everything else to a standstill. N Ananthanarayanan writes.
