Last week we begged the question, ‘Is West Indies cricket in decline an adequate explanation of the relative performances of the West Indies teams over the past two-plus decades?’

And we came to conclusion that ‘constructive analysis was needed as to why West Indies performances in recent ICC tournaments were not in sync with its strong performances in tour matches, even against more highly ranked teams such as England and South Africa.’  As such, we looked at the physical, emotional-mental, knowledge, and economic spaces that cricket is played in, getting as far as the physical. Today we will complete looking at these spaces, beginning with the emotional-mental.
