my point is they were in a winning position and should have gone on to win the match. the way you are talking is as if the match result was completely up to the windies performance regardless of what the BD players did.

Not saying that, all i'm saying is they got a great start due to not facing the best bowlers in the first quarter of the innings, and once you have quality coming at you of course the run rate is gonna drop!!..thats natural, the problem for them was they lost wickets in bunches which is never good and the run rate was getting worser and worser for them at the same time.
