West Indies problems:
Terrible batting middle order - Simmons, Morton, Deonarine, Hinds and Dowling (who didn't play yesterday) are all bloody average. Their batting depth beyond the key players of Chanderpaul, Sarwan, Bravo and Barath has been truly exposed.
No bowling balance - Roach, Taylor and Edwards are all much of the same (skillful but inconsistent fast bowlers with little variation or seam/swing), but unfortunately Rampaul and Tonge are similar too (line-and-length medium pacers who are barely Test class). Darren Sammy and Dwayne Smith are carbon copies of eachother too, very slow medium pace bowlers who should NEVER be considered for Tests - these are limited overs only bowlers who can give the ball a fair biff every now and then down the order too. They could also do with a left-arm bowler, try bringing back the apparently in form Pedro Collins?
Poor fielding - this has already been covered alot.
They need to get everyone fully fit soon, and fast, to field a proper lineup:
Chris Gayle
Adrian Barath
Shiv Chanderpaul
Ramnaresh Sarwan
Brendan Nash (Pollard in Tests)
Dwayne Bravo
Denesh Ramdin
Suliemenn Benn (Miller in ODIs)
Ravi Rampaul/Gavin Tonge (Sammy/Smith in ODIs)
Kemar Roach
Pedro Collins
