Major worries in both batting and bowling. Team selection and captaincy played a key role in our poor performance as well.

Batting
We have had top order troubles since forever. Only in Asia Cup our batting was able to put up consistent performances and as a result we did well. We must learn what we did right in Asia cup and try to bring that into the batting order. One key change is that Law promoted Nasir to the top order. In this test series Nasir seemed a lot better equipped to deal with good fast bowlers and perhaps we need to consider him at higher positions.

Our batters have to recognize match situation and show application in staying at the wicket. They have had the first hand view of what application is all about from Samuels and Chanderpaul and yet after watching WI score a mammoth total we came out and batted like it was a T-20. It shows a fundamental lack of understanding, self respect as well as a lack of faith in the player's own defensive technique.

Bowling
We cannot expect to win Test matches without 4 specialist bowlers. We must prepare tracks which offer assistance to spinners so that we can play to our strength and remain in the match by getting sides bowled out.
