Pakistanis in The West Indies
See also: Pakistanis in West Indies in 2005Pakistan toured West Indies for three ODIs and two Tests in May and June 2005. West Indies were a team trying to restore confidence after being whitewashed in ODIs and losing 0–3 in a 4-Test home series against South Africa, while Pakistan came off a relatively successful tour of India where they won the ODI series 4–2 and drew the Tests. Pakistan got off to a great warm-up by beating the Antigua & Barbuda President's XI by 248 runs at Antigua and continued with a 59-run win in a low-scoring first match at St Vincent. The West Indian fans were to be disappointed again, as their team slumped to two successive losses in the ODIs at Gros Islet - losing the series 0–3, meaning that their home ODI record this year reads no wins, eight losses. They recuperated in the Tests, however, giving Pakistan eight and a half days of good, competitive cricket before imploding with the bat in the final innings to lose the second Test and thus having to settle with a drawn series, 1–1.

“Look for me all around you, for with God’s grace, I shall come and bring with me countless millions of Black slaves who have died in America and the West Indies and the millions in Africa to aid you in the fight for Liberty, Freedom and Life.”
—Marcus Garvey (1887–1940)
“One can write out of love or hate. Hate tells one a great deal about a person. Love makes one become the person. Love, contrary to legend, is not half as blind, at least for writing purposes, as hate. Love can see the evil and not cease to be love. Hate cannot see the good and remain hate. The writer, writing out of hatred, will, thus, paint a far more partial picture than if he had written out of love.”
—Jessamyn West (1902–1984)
“It is my duty to prevent, through the independence of Cuba, the U.S.A. from spreading over the West Indies and falling with added weight upon other lands of Our America. All I have done up to now and shall do hereafter is to that end.... I know the Monster, because I have lived in its lair—and my weapon is only the slingshot of David.”
—José Martí (1853–1895)
