Once invincible West Indies have reached the semifinals only once, in 1996, since their 1983 loss to India. Clive Lloyd had been their best captain (3 editions), while Richardson and Lara were the captains twice. Shivnarine Chanderpaul (Including 2015) and Brian Lara have made the maximum 5 appearances. While 41-year old Lance Gibbs in 1975 is their oldest, 20-year old Kieron Pollard in 2007 is their youngest player in the World Cup. Even in 2015, under a new captain their chances of making to knockout appears doubtful.
