West Indies missed out on a place in the Super Sixes after their game against Bangladesh, who have not won a one-day international in almost four years, was abandoned because of the weather.

The players were sent scurrying from the field when the rain was only light and did not return when it eased off, in contrast to Monday's game when play continued during a torrential downpour before the umpires were forced to end proceedings.

``I was getting a bit annoyed last night because it looked to be that the rain was heavier than when we played in Benoni and the umpires wanted to continue,'' Hooper said.

``Obviously it was a crunch game and there were a couple of overs to go whereas there were 30 or 40 left in the game against Bangladesh.

``I think they were trying to get the game in but, if for argument's sake they had started batting again, I would have been really, really upset because certainly in Benoni the drizzle got really, really light and I was more than happy to play through it,'' he added.

West Indies were also the innocent victims of New Zealand's decision to boycott their match in Nairobi because of security concerns, but Hooper said he did not blame the Kiwis who ultimately made it through.

Had New Zealand gone to Kenya and won as expected, West Indies would have advanced. But the four points Kenya earned ensured they progressed even though West Indies proved they were the better side as they crushed the Africans by 142 runs yesterday.

``I don't think I'm in a position to judge because I know the New Zealand team has had a couple of bad experiences so I can understand their concerns,'' Hooper said.

``At the end of the day, the last thing you want to do is put yourself in a situation where you don't feel secure.''

Hooper said he was disappointed at his team's failure to make it past the first round after they had started so well with victory over South Africa.

``There's nothing we can do about it,'' he said. ``All we could do was try and finish the tournament on a high and we did that today.''
