West Indies was a perennial contender at the World Cup in the 1970s and the 1980s, when players like Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards struck fear into the hearts of the opposition. Against Pakistan yesterday, the team's batting collapsed alarmingly for the third straight match. At one stage, West Indies was 71-8 after losing four wickets in nine balls. "The wicket didn't get anybody out. It wasn't a bad wicket. It was a combination of poor batsmanship and perhaps very low confidence," Gibson said. "You can do so much in the nets to build confidence. "It comes down to individuals taking responsibility and having the belief in themselves and in their preparation and going out and performing." Gibson said the West Indies selectors would take some "serious decisions" before the series against Pakistan. "West Indies cricket for the last 10 years has been pretty much the same. And also they've been the same players," he said. (CMC)
