Winless against India since 2002

India look to extend 14-year unbeaten streak

[size=28px]4[/size] Test wins for West Indies against top-eight teams in their last ten home matches

- three against New Zealand and one against England. They took 35 matches

to register four wins against top-eight teams at home prior to that !

[size=28px]2[/size] Uncapped players in West Indies' squad for the first Test

- Miguel Cummins and Roston Chase-

Cummins took 33 wickets at 20.69 in West Indies' domestic first-class tournament

while Chase had 710 runs from the season, at 59.16.

Chase also took 23 wickets at an average of 17.26.


For India, Shardul Thakur, who took 41 wickets in the 2015-16 Ranji Trophy

at 24.51, is the only uncapped player. .

West Indies coach Phil Simmons has said his side will harp on the word throughout

the series. All signs so far point to a test of "patience"

on what have become quintessential slow and low Caribbean pitches.

A quick look at the ranking predictor reveals that even with a 4-0 sweep, India can't take the number 1 ranking unless Sri Lanka win their series against Australia.

Pakistan are particularly dangerous now because they have points to prove.

1. Misbah wants to prove that he's not an old man.
2. Khan want's to be the first Pakistani to 10,000 runs.
3. Pakistan wants to prove that they can win outside of UAE.
4. Amir wants to make up for his transgressions.

I think we can pencil in another Indian win here..prolly a very bad loss for the west indies coming up

The last time West Indies defeated India in Test cricket was in 2002, when under the coaching and captaincy leadership of Guyanese duo Roger Harper and Carl Hooper, they clinched a surprising 2-1 win that remains possibly their most significant series win this millennium.
