For me, as a long-time follower of WI cricket, it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.
But it's a useful programme, and I taped it today, so that I could show it to my son, who doesn't like to read books....
For those of us who would like to read more about the topic, I suggest Michael Manley's 'History of West Indies Cricket' and CLR James 'Beyond the Boundary', who both go a bit more in-depth in the issue. I think this episode served mainly as an introduction to the issues.
If I am to nit-pick, I thought I'd just like to point out a few minor omissions:
1) The furor created in the West Indies by COwdrey and May padding away the deliveries of Ramadhin in 1957.
2) Sobers' declaration in Trinidad which caused the WI to lose to England. I thought the focus was just a little skewed to the performances of the Windies abroad more than at home.
3) The significant role played by the Kerry Packer series in helping Lloyd to turn his side into a professional outfit. In fact, after the Packer series, remuneration for the WI players increased, and they were better paid than before. They were not so hard up that they had to go to South Africa in 1983.
Aside from those minor quibbles, I thought it was a good introduction to WI cricket....
