Anyway as for the game, we couldn't have been much poorer with both bat and ball so we are likely to see an improvement, we lost the first game heavily against Australia earlier this year too and then came back to be undefeated for three games in a row (won two and drew one although we really should have won all three),
I think we took the tigers lightly, some of the shots played by Samuels, Pollard, Thomas and Sammy were just pathetic and showed a lack of respect to the bowlers, now they've had a wake up call and i suspect they will come out all guns blazing in the next game, i'd imagine Powell and Permaul may come into the team, for who i don't know, Simmons has to be dropped though,
In closing what gives me hope is we made 199 on a bad day, so if our top order catches fire we're likely to get near 300 on a good day. which would make our attack much more comfortable.
