I wonder if they shouldn't have opted to bat first so as to prevent batting 2nd on a worn pitch facing the above bowlers esp in the last 15 overs

lol. Why do they have such stadiums when they gonna charge people a whole weeks wage just to get in? And WI increasingly look like they're not gonna make it so expect to see some nice (empty) grounds.

They could at least have gone for it. Now they are going to be bowled out before 200 anyway.

What a time to play so poorly.

I dont get it. Why are just happy to get singles? Rather go out trying to slog than being run out trying to get 1s and 2s.

IMO

1) West Indies today was just like SA, depending on their batsmen to fix the bowlers mistakes. (they started so well, think Sri Lanka was 67 after 17 overs)
2) What did WI do after Jayasuriya start hitting the ball over the park - not much imo.
3) And now all of a sudden they woke up and started hitting every single ball out there (to get 11 of an over) causing them to lose wickets.
4) After losing a few wickets they went back to test cricket, a run here a run there. Taking it real easy.
5) And WI won the toss and elected to field.

It sums it up what the commentator just said:
"You get the feeling it's all a bit to late"
