The majority of us who are objective and base our discussion in facts will know India has won the last 4 Test series against the West Indies 2-0, 1-0, 1-0 and 2-0!
West Indies have not beaten India in a test series 11 years! In fact it appears Windies have not won a test series in India for 20 years! It is also about 8 years since Windies won an ODI series against India and 11 years since they beat India at home, 4-3!
It is, therefore, reasonable, although not my original point, to suggest India have indeed dominated West Indies for quite some time now, home and away.
So no test series win for 20 years, and before that 39 years!, and no ODI series win for 11 years against India in India!
Course we want Windies to dominate but do not be ignorant of the facts and make idiotic statements. If for any reason my data is incorrect, I stand corrected and extend my sincere apologies.

So yeah, no. Draw would be satisfactory, as in 1-0. That's it. I don't see an upset as in winning a test as a good possibility. Although won't absolutely rule it out, the A team has been kicking some serious arse lately in India, par expectations.
Of course they can. And that wouldn't be that big of an upset since they are so closely ranked. It's not like one team is out of the top 10 or something like that.

5 and 3 may as well be poles apart. It is Pakistan's faux pas in Zim which resulted in Windies up the table.
We have even seen how wide the gap is between the 1st and 2nd ranked team. SA is actuall a massive 19 points ahead of, joint second, India and England, and these two teams a are a big 17 points ahead of Windies.
Love to see it happen but I do not think so. Only time will tell and for them to win this series it will mean breaking a 20 year old hoodoo.
Best wishes though.

[/quote] Go back and read what I stated . History and dominating , They did not started playing 11 years ago , try going back a bit further .
Winning 1 or 2 to 0 does not represent dominating
You cannot harp on about history you have to deal with the here and now and the upcoming series in the context of the teams you have now not 39 years ago!
Last time West Indies won a series in India is 20 years ago and prior to that 39 years!
