WI batting may not be as bad as

...it seem in test. Discuss

It's either of these:

1) WI bowling undoubtedly right top class since the #1 team struggled against them.
2) the pitches for the Aussie series were too heavily skewed for the bowlers hence both teams struggled with bat.
3) Australia batting is dire position and not far ahead of WI's. (That's considering their bowling is ahead that of WI at this moment)

Given Aussie batting is better than WI, did our bowlers bowl better than the to have been as competitive?

So which is it?

If it is either should we be as critical of their dismal performance?

Or do you have an alternative explanation? Chime in.

As i have said before, our batting performed as expected. Oz batting performed worse than expected. Therefore we were the actual victors in the series where we lost each match by over 100 runs with days to spare. Beat that logic!! Lol

So you're saying the hoopla against the team was not justified?

West Indies have regularly struggled to pass 250, regardless of personnel, pitch conditions, opposition attack.

exactly. before this series said the bowling would tie down the aussies we'd lose in three days because the batting is woeful. panned out exactly so

We performed on par (decent bowling, hopeless batting). Aussies performed sub par. Ergo we did relatively better than them (of course only because our par is lower)
