Watched by Lloyd, West Indies aims to start afresh after England humbling

The Hindu  

The Caribbean has been the cradle of some of the greatest names in cricketing history from Sir Frank Worrell, Sir Everton Weekes, Sir Clyde Walcott, Garry Sobers, through to the titans of Clive Lloyd’s side, which dominated for more than a decade. On Saturday, as defending champions West Indies suffered its third successive defeat at the ICC Twenty20 World Cup since arriving in the UAE, following losses in warm-up matches against Pakistan and Afghanistan, Lloyd, the former West Indies captain, was in attendance. After the match, Pollard said it was "unacceptable" for an international team to be bowled out for 55 like his West Indies side was in its T20 World Cup opener against England. "When I took over the West Indies cricket team we had lost more than twenty Test matches on a trot and there was a clear need for rebuilding and a re-purposing of the team. West Indies lost its opening match in the 2012 and 2016 T20 World Cups and still went on to become champion.
