West Indies captain, Kraigg Brathwaite, is already focusing on getting a much better performance from the team in the second innings after a disastrous start to the series against South Africa saw them dismissed for 97 on the first day.
The West Indies had a day to forget at the crease, failing to get to triple digits in an innings for just the 19th time ever. Jason Holder had the team’s high score with a mere 20 runs, with Brathwaite himself and opening partner Shai Hope adding the next best with 15 apiece.
“We played some loose shots, but it happens, everything won’t always be perfect as batsmen we played some balls we know we probably shouldn’t have played at, we should have left, but we know what we have to do in the second innings.”

More to the point...are the batsmen we pick good enough at test level.Do they have the ABILITY...the answer is clearly NO! However much we delude ourselves by what happened in Bangladesh.The wins in Bangla too were by slim margins.

"as batsmen we played some balls we know we probably shouldn’t have played at, we should have left, but we know what we have to do in the second innings.”
After hearing the rattle, Holder wears the expression, "How did I leave that?" 9 times out of 10 he won't.
It should read... but we don't know what we have to do in the second innings, balls we should played at we left...
