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.
