Calypso Cricket

England's winter of discontent showed yet again the absolute world supremacy of West Indian cricket. Top sports writer Ian Wooldridge goes to its Caribbean roots to discover why. Viv Richards , Gary Sobers , Clive Walcott , Everton Weekes and others tell their stories ... In Barbados and Antigua, Wooldridge looks for the youngsters who will succeed them. He asks how these tiny islands can produce such a stream of talent, and he concludes that 'the Windies' will be on top for at least another generation.
