We didnt have Shamar and Motie in england well ahead of the FC match - they undercook
We sent Kirk McKenzie and our young batters to england without proper FC and 4 day games under their belt.
We have a highy ineffective senior players within the squad when more committed players are available - Blackwood.
Our selectors erred hughely by not sending Greaves to England ahead of Holder.

Only two half centuries were scored by any wi batsmen and it took something exceptional not to be beaten by australia with all that preparation your talking about.

yes yes.

A few months in training, and this squad will be world beaters, with Blackwood added, not so?

Why you all keep harping on those tried and tested and fail useless dead no good west Indians players , they had there chance and fail badly and did nothing to make the squad back , i say west indies must take a break from teat cricket and try to regroup and come again.
