Default West Indian wickets.....

I think this series proved to us one (and only one) thing. I dont think we've somehow gone worse in the space of just two months. All it shows us is that we are alot weaker in non-spinner-friendly wickets. Its no secret that our main bowling firepower (especially against Zim) comes from our spinners. This outcome is pretty simple IMO. The Zim tracks dont spin (according to cricinfo) whereas the subcontinental ones do. Thats the only reason we suddenly beat Zimbabwe by over a hundred runs in the Champions Trophy (subcontinental wicket) after a rather disappointing tour in zimbabwe just preceding that. The bad news, however, is that West Indian tracks are universally known to be fast-bowlers wickets i.e bouncy, hard ( Which means less traction and therefore, less spin )........We're gearing up for a pretty tough tournament in my opinion.......
