West Indies the Greatest Cricket Team Ever?

Fire in Babylon [2010]: Documentary on the Rise of West Indian Cricket in the 70s & how they dominated Cricket for the next 20 years & they dominated the Real Cricket: Test Cricket

But there was a lot more. It was about forging an identity for themselves – as Black people – showing their old masters – The English – that they were equal & can beat them at the sport that the English invented.

Cricket brought all the West Indian islands together. Cricket is one of the rarest sports they play as West Indies – otherwise, the islands are all independent.
