This has evidently spilled over to the test team.Īs I have suggested, there is little movement of the feet so batsmen are caught on the crease and are prime candidates for LBW with batsmen playing at deliveries with huge gaps between bat and pad. It's all about power hitting, defending two balls and wherever the next ball is pitched, try and blast it out of the ground. Batsmen no longer want to move their feet and get behind the ball and stroke it to the boundary.
The technique of the batsmen leaves a lot to be desired and It starts with the T20 cricket where every single batsman comes to the wicket to hit 4's or 6's. The West Indies lost the series simply because the batting was not good enough. The question then is, are the West Indies spinners not good enough? To be brutally honest, they could have done better but any test team batting lineup worth their salt will fight and put a price on their wickets as the Sri Lankans did, so give the West Indies spinners credit but there is always room for improvement. When one compares the Sri Lankan scores to the West Indies, they scored well over 300 twice, just over 200 once and declared at 191 for 4 on the other occasion they batted. Not only would it have helped the batsmen, but the spinners would have been able to understand where to pitch the ball and the amount of spin needed on a turning pitch and that would have been great preparation for spinners in the squad. Surely, the ideal pitches for these practice matches should have been a spinners paradise. You cannot play best vs the best games on good, fast tracks when one is going on tour and will encounter spinning pitches from as early as the second day of a test match. Again, I ask the question: what type of preparation was done leading up to the tour? Not that they set the world on fire having won in Bangladesh with great team performance, but other than that victory, they have struggled and played only a few good sessions of test match cricket. On this occasion, I don't think the selectors would have been left with much of a choice they chose the test match squad from the players that have been playing test match cricket over the last year. The team chosen appeared to be selected on sentiment rather than players who would have been able to perform at the international level. Once again, before the start of the T20 World Cup, I questioned the selectors and the team they chose to defend the World Cup. Scores of 230, 160, 253 and 132 are simply not good enough for batsmen playing at Test cricket level. Unfortunately for them, it was not to be and there were very few high points during the series. After the disappointing ICC T20 World Cup performance where the West Indies were outplayed by all opposing teams, and the only win coming against Bangladesh by the narrow margin of three runs, the Caribbean fans would have had some measure of hope that the Test team would be able to if not to win the series against Sri Lanka, perhaps come out of it with their heads held high in a closely contested, hard-fought series.
