Year Review: West Indies team's performance in 2015

One word to describe the West Indies team’s performance from the last few years would be ‘inconsist’. However good the team looked on paper before the matches, they would falter in the end and lose out on many occasions. Chris Gayle and Jason Holder did rise up to their bests but that wasn’t the case often and the players didn’t complement each other well. So here we present this year’s performances of the West Indies cricket team.

1. West Indies tour of South Africa 2014-15:

The year began poorly for the West Indies with them losing the 3rd Test against the South Africans eventually losing out the Test series 2-0. Kraigg Brathwaite top-scored for the West Indies with a century where he scored an unbeaten 106* in the drawn and washed off second match.

In the T20Is West Indies looked like a completely different team with Chris Gayle unleashing his best form with scores of 77 in just 31 balls and 90 in just 41 balls in the first two matches. The second T20I also saw the highest ever successful chase in a T20I where West Indies led by Gayle chased down 231 in just 19.2 overs. South Africa did win the last dead rubber game, but the T20I series was won by the West Indies 2-1.

The ODIs again showed the inconsistency of the West Indies team where the batting and bowling faltered except for just a few sparks in all the departments for the Caribbeans. They just won the fourth ODI and lost the series 4-1.
