Good way to improve

Make a map of which countries make up this team... 141.157.82.135 23:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should mention that West Indies is the 4th nation to play a test (or what ever is correct). Other national cricket team pages mention this. --Kiwimhm 18:17, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Countries in the West Indies team

Was looking for a list of countries that make up the West Indies team, couldn't find one.

Was also wondering why Bermuda are a seperate team? Stutley 21:17, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bermuda is not in the West Indies or the Caribbean. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.28.8.187 (talk) 15:54, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I heard that only non bristh territories are allowed to sent players to the west indies team, like Purto Rico, is that ture? Kanga-Kucha

National Anthem Played for West Indies?

I was researching cricket for a quiz that I'm conducting, and a question occurred to me:

Which national anthem is played when the teams line-up for the ceremonies before a match featuring the West Indies (E.g. the ICC World T20 Cup 2009)?

This will be a valuable addition to this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.95.138 (talk) 06:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

David Rudder's "Rally 'Round the West Indies" was played during the 2009 World Twenty20.72.27.84.34 (talk) 05:03, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So what happened to the flag file?

So what happened to the file with the flag? Did someone delete it somewhere? This is what I find really frustrating (and a bit stupid) about wikipedia - a file gets deleted and then it is as though it never existed. You can't find out when it was deleted and why unless you search through page upon page of deletion requests. I'm willing to bet that whoever deleted it probably doesn't know anything about the flag they were deleting either other than that the file might have gone against some rule they invoked.72.27.215.34 (talk) 06:08, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

West Indies flag missing

The West Indies Cricket flag is missing!. However, all other nations playing Cricket has their flags e.g. Australia. As such currently, a person who edits Cricket related pages in Wikipedia can not add the West Indies Cricket flag. I kindly request someone to create it so that it can be used 152.226.7.202 (talk) 00:05, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The flag still exists: 20px but is copyrighted, probably why it isn't used that much. A bit silly but there you go. Saebhiar Adishatz 02:51, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
