Windwards endure mixed fortunes

In perhaps customary fashion, the Windwards continued their flattery of their fans. They have to depend on tomorrow’s clash with Trinidad and Tobago to determine if they have enough points to advance to the semifinal.

A victory against Jamaica in their opening encounter signaled hopes of a revival in their fortunes and lifted hopes of an improved performance. {{more}}But successive losses to Guyana and Barbados thwarted their chances to progress. How they fared yesterday against the Leewards was also a crucial element in the points tally.

So what can be done about the Windwards. The zest seems to have gone from the party and it seems like another process of going through the motion and maintaining their place in the garbage heap of West Indies cricket.
