It is.

Unfortunately we have a bad management group.

They opened with Alzarri and Seales who set the batsmen alight.

Cricket is about rhythm.
Shamar should have opened after his batting success.
Seales is just a joke at this time.
Let Seales bowl first change.

Either the two Josephs or Shamar and Holder to open.

Our bowlers are hit and miss. We do not have one bowler who can bowl 2 good balls in an over with consistency. I don't know if their heads are hard; if they lack discipline or if coaches are no good. The commentators were discussing that Alzarri's delivery stride is too wide which influences the direction of rhe delivery. I know nothing about the mechanics of fast bowling but if this is so why haven't our coaches seen this? Alzarri has been playing tests for 8 years and does not have one 5fer in tests even though the raw talent and passion are there. So what is the problem?

Seales can become a very good bowler. I can see he needs core strengthening without building too much upper body
