Cricket pitches in West Indies

I think pitches in West Indies are very flat nowadays. The pitches in West Indies nowadays suit spinners more than pacers.

Personally I want to see pitches that assist fast bowlers.

Pitches in West Indies are indeed very flat nowadays. Any team with decent spinners can go to West Indies and win games.

West Indies were famous for their vicious fast bowling attack. At one time, their pacers were the most feared cricket bowlers on Earth!

Things have changed. Now spinners like Narine and Shillingford are more threatening than Caribbean pacers.

I agree with you. West Indies were never really famous for having good quality spinners, but now they are starting to have good spinners.

In the 70's and 80's and 90's, they used to heavily rely on pace.
