Not a word on this. Also our fielding did improve during the series.

Now to get the batting fixed.

Well a cynic would say that that was only because Australia batted first in each match. Had the same runs been made by each team with Oz batting second, it is not likely that we would have taken more than 45 Oz wickets as our second innings batting was woeful in each match.

Fielding improved? Is catching part of Fielding?

the pitches were substandard ..... they didn't have to work out the opposition, put the ball on a length and the wicket did the rest.,..

West indies have taken 79 Wicket against Australia in the last 4 tests between both teams.

19 of those wickets came in our inspirational victory in Australian when Shamar Joseph returned that magical spell.

Bowling out Australia has nothing to do with Sammy since our bowlers success against pre-dated him and likely came inspite of him.

As usual, his apologists will ascribe every fleeting success to him and blame others for all failures
