The West Indies have started the new year in the now familiar position of going down the slope in an uncontrollable slide.Ever since they lost to Australia in 1995 to relinquish the world title, the West Indies, barring a few moments of brilliance, have been sliding and sliding badly towards the bottom of the pecking order. And despite all our hope, all our prayers, there seems no end to it.
