[TPerei1]

Best Batsmen ever Bradman Compton Sir Viv Tendulkar G Chapell Lara

[ThrowbackSoul]

A great testimony to a great team of players that have made the many diverse people of West Indies at home and throughout the dispora very proud. Their legacy is assured!

[randominitializer]

i just love the intense expression on the umpires from old days.

[pubqwert14]

love this..........:)....good job...man this brought back soo much memories of our GREAT legends

[Barit0nist]

W.I. NEEEEEDD PERSONS LIKE THESE AGAIN... sigh :(

[klayman212121]

thanks a lot RyanBachoo :) i just love it, the original version looks to be rocking.

[klayman212121]

Can anyone tell me where I can get this West Indies cricket opening intro which used to be played by Star Sports and Ten Sports?

"Sun is shining, weather is sweet....."

[RyanBachoo]

@klayman212121 That song was sung by Bob Marley, it's called Sun is Shining.

[EuropeanCup2003]

Who did this video? Proabably a Bajan or Jamaican. I can't beleieve that the great BRIAN LARA is not there. Any video that about West Indian cricket that does not have him is a farce, it's like having a Italy football video without Baggio.'

[fetebusters]

part 2 was exclusive to only Brian Lara the prince of Port of Spain...

[Trinavara]

Lara not there Pathetic !! typical insularity!

[placid21]

hes in part 2

[Trinavara]

oh . . .oops.

[placid21]

so you are a lara fan

[Trinavara]

yeh,also an acquaintance/friend. . .its kinda hard to say I'm really his friend.. .you know he really does'nt need more of those,I sorta regret meeting him,its really hard being him,he's kinda moody. .dropped his daughter to her mom's already though. . lol!!

[placid21]

yeh he is quite funny when it coming to people i know him from young days back home. not so much a friendly person but a great player still. shame with all the stats west indies cricket went downhill.

[nskaile]

yes and it all happend cuz of mofos in WICB! Caribbean ppl use ot love cricket more then anything but not anymore. cricket losing its charm in wi! :( sad very sad

[canadianchillazz]

@Trinavara did u see part 2 ?

[ravenous071]

only carl hooper, and vasbert drakes , ridley jacobs desered to be there in the last

[1400deadwood]

EXCELLENT MONTAGE!!!

[statrei]

Agreed deathoofaces. I posted my comments before I had watched the clip itself.

They did have a slide of Lara posing with Viv.

[statrei]

How can Lara be included in slides featuring the "forefathers" of West Indies cricket?

[deathoffaces]

how can cuffy, dillon , adams n arthurton be featured in the forefathers of cricket????????????????????

[deathoffaces]

this video sucked for one reason.. where the heck was LARA!!!!! ( cuffy,dillon, adams, arthurton,!!!!!!!!!!) c'mon....

[fetebusters]

Look up "A Tribute to West Indies Cricket" - Part # 2, its strickly Lara!

[lfc8lfc]

De Wisden is home!!!

All the years of pain, we finally have something to shout about!

Now and Forever!

[fetebusters]

I'll take de cake but it missing some icing (de one day series).... only England know we deserve it!!

[xgeneration84]

Lara is not a part of this video...not one slide..how come?

[fetebusters]

Look up part # 2 of the tribute, it's strickly Lara!!

[bullysgod]

well,well,well,ANOTHER test abandoned through the utter incompetance of west indians--they only had 4 years to get everything ready though--total stupidity,lazyness and typical stupidity.

[fetebusters]

If you are a fan that travelled there,,,i agree!

[nicklebaby]

So damn proud to be a WEST INDIAN rally round the windies

[Shabine001]

Part one plays fine, but with part 2 I get notice: "This video not available in your country" (SA), Why is that?

[trini583]

proud 2 be from the West Indies

[BajanLulu]

little cays(keys) can open up mighty doors...

[fetebusters]

Bajan, you from one of de bigger cays doh!! lol!!  jus cool!

[poonying]

i think when west indies win a toss they should bat first and let the opponent chase our tale not we chasing them make our run first a number they can't reach and let them do the struggling and we do the fielding you all are great players but you got to use upstairs before you play

[FLASHRULRS]

isnt there two of these song

[ravisubhasht]

Where's Lara??!!

[fetebusters]

He is playing Regional Cricket for Trinidad & Tobago and fractured his arm 2 days ago.

[ramras123]

anyone knows where i can get the original version of this song. This is the remake, i haven't heard the original version in a long time.

[rosamondmdopwell]

I TOTALLY AGREE - Though - PERHAPS, he was an Erstwhile Player / currently PLAYING at Time of Writing??? THIS- might have ruled him out?

[fetebusters]

Did u mean in this video?

[HENRYINC]

This was good but its one thing i cant understand though, How did Mervin Dillon make it on this list of great players? He was supposed to spearhead the bowling attack when Walsh and Ambrose left but he never made full use of all his potential.

[fetebusters]

The list made up are both great and retired players, i think Merv was not classed as an "old general" cause at that time the W.I.selectors did not give him the chance he gave others. I think 108 ODIs at 130 wickets also 3rd in W.I.all time for 5 wicket hauls is pretty good and was the best we had at that time.

[rosamondmdopwell]

The Artiste - (in this case Rudder), is allowed HIS Poetic-Lisense ... to chose whom HE want to include or exclude!!!

"IF" YOU wish ... write your OWN tribute!

No Listing shall EVER satisfy everyone!

[jackking20]

thats when west indies was west indies. now i dont know what to call dem.

[OmanBiek]

3Ws, Headley, Griffith, Viv, Sobers, Kanhai, Lloyd, Holding, Marshall, Big Bird, Grenidge, Haynes, BCL....Just a few of our heros...It will happen again...lets never loose hope!

[miamibabe26]

A true Brother ah man of Love for West Indies and it's people. You have done a wonderful job with this presentation. Keep spreading the joy and the Victory of the people of the Caribbean. One Love to all. Keep the vibes positive "ROGER". TRINIDAD & TOBAGO

[OmanBiek]

Lord ah forget Ambrose, Walsh, Richie and the bad man Croft

[QuestionSign]

This was beautifully done. We really need to remove the insularity from Caribbean life though

[urprabhakar]

I am an Indian, but I like watching West Indian great bowlers. It is bowlers who delivered for West Indies and players like Malcolm Marshall are truly exceptional.

[boldthemdown]

This is GOLDEN. rally around the West Indies, forever.

[CandyKisses224]

we need to keep the faith, because as David Rudder says " Pretty soon the runs are going to flow again like water" We'er going to rise again like a raging fire" and that i believe.

[TriniLiyah]

we'll miss you Brian Lara!

[guanganco]

We'll rise again

[ewanallan]

Funny how the Windies got knocked out yesterday, by a reasonably off-form South Africa

[gthotshot]

West Indian cricket of today is nothing compared to cricket when players like Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards were on the team. It's all about money these days and people favor certain players instead of real talent. I am a big West Indian fan and i am a west indian and i know the have the talent to dominate once again.

[sugartibbs]

Loved it!!! it was nice to my home boy Cameron Cuffy in it and keith arthurton (one of my friends had a crush on him, LoL LoL). i pray that one day the west indies can return to its former glory. i only saw one pic with lara though, and that was the one with him and viv richards. it would have been nice to see more pics of it.

[marlonhoilett]

WI Need this Guys WI need This !!!

[fishtank39]

Yeah! West Indies for real!

[dinku12]

ralllyyy round de west indies ! Now and Forever

[paulbav]
