Stating the obvious:
1. Dwayne Bravo is a terrible ODI captain. He repeatedly underbowled Sammy and Benn, both of whom often had the best figures.
2. We still don't know if Smith is a reliable bat
3. Darren Bravo cant bat. If you're going to bat that carefully and that slow, you need to carry on
4. Pollard cant bat
5. Dwayne Bravo cant bat
6. Pollard, Sammy, Russell, and Dwayne cannot be on the same team. Pick 2 and drop the rest
7. Marlon Samuels lost us the second ODI singlehandedly, but was also the only batsman who looked good throughout the series.
8. Taylor bowled well in the second ODI, was poor in the 1st and 3rd
9. Our pace attack sucked
10. Ravi Rampaul is washed up
11. We should have gone into each game with 2 dedicated spinners.
12. Andre Russell is amazing when he is in the angry zone
13. Pollard deliberately sabotaged the 3rd ODI
14. Once again, the West Indies managed to be worse than even the most pessimistic of us could have predicted. We literally got kicked out of India.
15. The worst thing about this ODI defeat is that it robbed us of watching some good test matches. Makes me mad that we dont get to see Paint and Chanders bat in India.
16. Gayle dodged this fiasco like a boss.

Now that was too extreme I think, but yes their performance has been very inconsistent in past few years and in that inconsistency, they have more down side than the upper side, more like Pakistan of last year and half or so.
They perform so well in the leagues, they are all match winners of their respective teams but when they play for the Windies, all the heroes combined just don't work well mostly, they still got the talent, especially in the batting department to compete well against all the other teams but they just don't display good team performance consistently, its always just one or two good knocks in the whole series.
