The win India clinched on this ground in March 1971 was not only their maiden Test victory in West Indies, it also led to their first-ever overseas series win. 1 Test team in the world. India now have to win this Test to retain the rank which otherwise will go to Pakistan.Who will bet against India not winning the Test and retaining the top rank? If habits die hard, then West Indies are in for some hard times again.As the cliche goes, West Indies have only pride to play for. Sadly, one is forced to be sceptical on this count, going by the way they have been playing Test cricket for a while now.
