An all-round piss poor performance by Windies

In general, the bowlers bowled too short and kept bowling shorter and shorter. The captain kept on bowlers for too many long spells, even as the batsmen were feasting on them, especially in that long SA partnership.

Holder has been the biggest culprit and Hope still persisted with him and kept him on two overs too many in his initial spell. His second spell was no better as he bowled even shorter. There was no imagination in either the captaincy or the bowling in general, except for Joseph. Windies seemed to be wishing and hoping that the batsmen would make a mistake when the bowling was so poor. At 140/5, Windies still had a chance to win but they sat back and let the SA batsmen enjoy themselves.

With an F-performance like this, it's easy to understand why the Windies are at the bottom of the ODI table.

What about 2-0? Sounds better to me.
