World Cup History: West Indies, Once Invincible Now Hardly Visible

West Indies were considered invincible after winning the first two World Cups without losing any game. 1983 World Cup and India changed the perception. Since then they have only reached the semifinal once more. Overall in 64 matches, they have won 38, lost 25 and one produced no result.
