an Bradshaw was not impressed with the manner of the West Indies victory in the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka citing how poor the batsmen of the Caribbean were during the series.

The former West Indies bowler has suggested that if the West Indies was the win a third ICC T20 World Cup later this year, the coach and selectors need to have frank and honest discussions with the batsmen about their performances, especially about how and when they lose their wickets.

Going forward in a world cup year, he said, “this would be the time to have some honest words within the camp and I am sure that Coach Simmons and maybe Chief Selector Roger Harper will have to be brutally honest with the guys.

“Experienced or inexperienced, our match awareness will have to be a lot better.”

“Like so many series, we go into it and we believe our bowling is the weak link and when it comes out, it is the batting that struggles, and this has been the case in all three formats."

If a small tree falls in the forest, and just one man was there to hear it, did he HAVE to make an article about it?

In reply to Bradshaw, I cannot remember any time in recent history where the WI batting was considered to be strong. It has been the consistent problem for decades.

Fully agree with Bradshaw,...with Gayle, Lewis,Pooran, Pollard,Bravo, Simmons...it was expected that batting would be strong....but result shows otherwise.....we somehow managed to win two tight matches and lost one comprehensively..... with batting performance like this.......West Indies staring at first round exit in the T-20 World Cup......

It was absolute jokey goings the whole time, shaky, only a couple lucky hit and miss shots went their way and got them some luck. The Sri Lanka team is just about a new team with young players and not much experience yet. West Indies had most of their experienced seasoned players. With such a strong batting lineup on paper I thought WI would blow them away on home grounds.
