From the mid 1970s to the early 1990s, the West Indies team was one of the strongest in the world in both Test and One Day International cricket. A number of cricketers considered among the best in the world have hailed from the West Indies; Sir Garfield Sobers, Lance Gibbs, Gordon Greenidge, George Headley, Clive Lloyd, Malcolm Marshall, Andy Roberts, Alvin Kallicharran, Rohan Kanhai and Everton Weekes have all been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame,[1] while world-record holders Brian Lara and Sir Viv Richards were both West Indies Test players.[2][3] As of 19 June 2009, the West Indian team has played 457 Test matches, winning 33.26%, losing 32.38% and drawing 34.13% of its games.[4]

The West Indies have won the ICC Cricket World Cup twice in 1975 and 1979, the ICC Champions Trophy once in 2004 and have been runners up in the Under 19 Cricket World Cup in 2004 and have been semi finalist in the ICC World Twenty20 in 2009. First cricket team to win World Cup twice, surpassed by 4 World Cup wins by Australia. West Indies are also the first team to win back to back World Cups, since surpassed by 3 consecutive World Cup wins by Australia.

The Dutch cricket team is a national cricket team representing the Netherlands. It is administered by the Koninklijke Nederlandse Cricket Bond (Royal Dutch Cricket Association) which is based in Nieuwegein in the centre of the country and is older than many renowned cricket clubs in the West Indies, Australia, and New Zealand.

Cricket has been played in the Netherlands since at least the 19th century, and in the 1860s was considered a major sport in the country. Many other sports (notably football) have long since surpassed cricket in popularity amongst the Dutch, and today there are around 6,000 cricketers in the Netherlands, making it the 25th most popular sport. The first national association, the forerunner of today's Royal Dutch Cricket Association, was formed in 1883 and the Netherlands achieved Associate Membership of the ICC in 1966.

The Dutch team has taken part in all eight ICC Trophy tournaments, winning the competition in Canada in 2001 and finishing as runners-up twice (in 1986 and 1990). The Netherlands have also participated in the 1996, 2003 and 2007 Cricket World Cups, and from 1996 onwards entered the English domestic NatWest Trophy competition (and its successor, the C&G Trophy). In 2004 they played first-class cricket as part of the ICC Intercontinental Cup, drawing with Scotland in Aberdeen and then going down to an innings defeat against Ireland in Deventer.

In 2005 the Dutch team beat the UAE to finish fifth in the ICC Trophy, a slightly disappointing result but one which meant that they qualified for the 2007 World Cup and would gain full One Day International status from 1 January 2006 until the 2009 ICC Trophy.

Cricket World cup 2011: Important Teams and Players

The ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 will be featuring fourteen teams and about 200 cricket players from around the world. It is the most in any world cup till date. However, the favorites this time are India, Sri Lanka Australia and South Africa, which are also expected to be as the ultimate semifinalists. England is also a probable semi-final team but the dates on which their matches are to be held are a little unfavorable to their plans and can be considered a bit of hard luck for the team. Still there is a good chance for them and we will hope for it to happen but still good signs are here and so let's hope for the best.

New Zealand and Pakistan are the teams that will be clearing up the first round and enter the quarter final matches in this ICC World Cup 2011. There is also this emerging young team of Bangladesh which hopefully will do a great job and may set up some upsets in the process. If Bangladesh performs properly on their chosen grounds and pick-up the best playing eleven then there is no surprise if the team enters the quarter finals. West Indies needs to do a lot of hard work if they want to clear the first round.

The most remarkable batsman to be playing this world cup is surely Sachin Tendulkar who stands at the top of every cricket fan's rankings and is the most experienced player in this World Cup. The second would be the captain of the four time Champions Australia, Ricky Ponting. His team although is in a very poor form in the off lately. They lost the Ashes but are on a roll after winning the recent ODI series against England in which they beat the visitors by 6-1. The third important World Cup 2011 player would be from the subcontinent and is Kumar Sangakara whose team won the exciting 1996 World Cup and is keenly looking forward to repeat the feat in the same favorable conditions.

An important player from South Africa would be Dale Steyn, whose fast bowling has been remarkable in the recent times. Other notable players in this World Cup would be Zaheer Khan, Morne Morkel, Jonathan Trott, Shoaib Akhtar, Shane Watson, Chris Gayle, Shakib Hussain, Kevin Pieterson, Yusuf Pathan, Cameron White and Daniel Vittori.
