A few high WI points

From World Cup winners in 1975 and 1979 to comprehensive World Cup losers in 1999 and 2003, the West Indies' declining powers face another severe test in April when they host a Test series against Australia.
But the squad, who failed for the second successive time to make the Super Sixes, are determined to prove that they have the raw materials to bounce back.
Ramnaresh Sarwan finished second in the first round batting averages with 209 runs at 95.87 while Vasbert Drakes was equal first in the wicket-taking stakes with 16 alongside Sri Lanka's Chaminda Vaas.
"It's been a very disappointing World Cup for us but a lot of the players in the squad are still young and they will bounce back," said opener Chris Gayle whose 119 in the win over Kenya on Tuesday was the fifth of his career. "We just have to make sure we win this match, go home with our heads high so that we can face the Australians when they tour in April with confidence."
The West Indies beat South Africa, Canada and Kenya here, lost to New Zealand and Sri Lanka but the rained-off match against Bangladesh in Benoni was the crucial blow.
"Obviously after the loss against Sri Lanka, the boys were not in the best of moods," said team manager Ricky Skerritt.
"A number of things resulted in us being where we are. We made too many errors against New Zealand and the loss of two points, because of rain against Bangladesh, meant we had no chance.
"If we had those points we would have a chance. It's unfortunate but not unfair. We all knew the rules before we started. But a reserve day is something the organisers may want to look at for next time."
The West Indies got their campaign off to a flying start with victory over South Africa on the opening day of the tournament and Skerritt saw enough evidence in that game to sense hope for the future.
"If you look at the West Indies' performances in one-day cricket over the last seven to eight years, there's been a significant improvement in the last 12 months," the manager said.
"We have made our fans quite happy with our performances and we've won the respect of the South African crowds with the cricket we've played. There's been a big improvement on England four years ago.
"We may not have been able to make it to the Super Six again, which was our aim, but we do have some good material we're working with.
"Ramnaresh Sarwan is leading the way. Even before his innings against Sri Lanka he was up with the best averages in the tournament and his Test record makes him one of the brightest sparks in world cricket today."
