No one expects much from the likes of Tiwary and Dhawan. They are not good enough.
But this tour certainly shows the quality of young West Indian fast bowlers. Likes of Holder, Mclean and Johnson very highly rated in WI domestic cricket. And in IMO every A team could have struggled against these bowlers. I hope WI team build itself to top level team once again. They do need to find some good young batsmen though.

Ya Sharma's got skill but is just inconsistent. I think he'll become a good batsman. Rahane will be good as well.
I agree WI is developing some good young talent and most important good pacers. I think Powell, Brathwaite and Thomas will end up being good batsmen at the international level as well.
