I am not completely agree with you. Kumble, Saurav and Laxman did not play a while but India got win against Pakistan and Srilanka. In my opinion:
1) India is not good outside of Subcontinent; they are pretty good in their homeland.
2) They had the over confidence in WI tour, after losing the first game also, they are 100% confidence about the series win by 4-1.
3) Chappel didn't do enough home work about WI's players like Bravo, Gayle, Sarwan. They just thought about Lara and Chandarpall.
4) The pitch is a little bit slower than expected.
Anyway, probably there are a lot of reasons, but frankly speaking I just only want to believe one:
"WI really played superior to India in every section (Bat, Bowl, and Field) and Lara's Captaincy is huge better than Dravid."
