Do you get the impression that West Indies are sleepwalking in New Zealand and Australia, or just on one big extended holiday, complete with carnival-like street parties?

They were embarrassingly out-thought, especially by India’s faster bowlers and captain, and would have had to dig much deeper, to upset and beat the defending champions.

India always seemed to be cruising, despite mid-innings nerves, while WI stuttered terribly, their decision-making diabolically poor. Yet, at times in that crucial game, WI were actually ahead.

How in the world could WI lose a relatively low scoring game by just four wickets, mind you, with more than ten overs still left to be bowled, after India were 134-6 at 29.3 overs, looking for 183?

At that stage, only captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni could have prevented a WI victory. He did!
