Check the table.

Test series of late are becoming very competitive with underdogs upsetting the apple cart of the top dogs but Windies are no way to be seen, as their overall cricket standing, from Test to the more recently once predominate T20s, remain in the dumps.

Where are the answers to this dilemma?

sadly, there is no dispute that WI are the worst team by far in test cricket. All other teams come back or defend in home conditions while we lose easily both at home and on tour. I think that it is fair to say that one of the main problems is a captain who is not leading from in front. But this is not the only problem. The team generally has low morale and poor skills that are probably in good part due to the piss poor surfaces on which they play on which mediocre bowlers can take bags of wickets. i support WI and test cricket in particular but it is really hear wrenching to see how we can never put up a fight while others can.

Point bro.

Anther point is that their best players are not being picked.
Whatever the reason, the best players have not been picked for a long time now.

Draft Sherfane Rutherford into the Test team. I called for this young man to be in the white ball setup and you waited two years. Don't wait that long to get him into Tests.

Remember the selection policy changed, so this is likely.
