Where do you think West Indies will go from here?

They won the World Twenty20. What next?

1. Do you think they will defend their World Twenty20 title in 2014?

2. Do you think they will become an unbeatable side at home?

3. Do you think they can be as dominating as the West Indies of the '80s?

4. Where do you see them in ten years from now?

5. Do you think West Indies can capture the imagination of the Americans?

6. Will we see full stadiums in West Indies for Tests?

7. Do you think West Indies players will continue to opt out of national commitments to play the IPL?

8. Do you think the constant battles between the West Indies board and the players association will now come to an end?

9. West Indies are popular for the joy with which they play. Do you think they will retain that in the coming years?

	Not sure, but they will all be winners at Dancing with the Stars
	No, but the format and schedule will be structured to suit them
	Don't know, but they'll play in front hundred thousand screaming fans and a billion others watching at home

	Maybe not, but cricket will become more competitive because of them
	Yes, because they'll produce tracks that favour them
	Yes, no one will be able to move to the beats like they do

	Domineering, perhaps
	They will invent the concept of Total Cricket
	West Indies of the '80s were nothing. They'll be as big as MJ of the '80s

	Struggling without Chris Gayle, with a rubbish first-class system, and producing players who can only play Twenty20 cricket
	Going platinum
	Getting Russian oil barons and Middle East sheikhs interested in investing in them

	Yes, just like Beatles did
	To an extent. But the Americans just don't know what's good for them
	Among expats, of course

	Not unless some celebrities are turning up for the game
	Packed stadiums, team songs, hooliganish fans…
	Yes, and two-day long queues for tickets, simultaneous Youtube telecast, players arriving to play in meat dresses to celebrate the butchering of the opposition…

	West Indies will have enough money to float their own glamorous Twenty20 league
	Of course, it's very important. Look how it revived Akon and UB40's careers
	Yes, I'm afraid in the future, clubs will become bigger than national sides

	No, how can you avoid battles when your players become prima donnas and are paid more than a hundred thousand a week
	Yes, because the board will get plenty of advertising and corporate money and become so powerful that it won't allow a dissenting body to exist
	Battles benefit everyone. Just ask Kanye and Swift

	There's little joy to be had once fans start burning effigies and stoning your houses
	Sure, sure "We Are the World" style
	A Yes, they'll be like Brazil of the old - dancing their way to victory n indication that you must dig deep
