Darren Sammy's West Indies "looked drunk" on too much Twenty20 cricket during their 2-0 Test series defeat to India. That is the critical opinion expressed by Clive Lloyd, the former West Indies captain, who led the most dominating Test team of all times in mid-1970s and 80s.
West Indies looked drunk on T20 during Tests - Lloyd

What? It has nothing much to do with T20s. They were shit - pure and simple. Why blame it on T20s? And oh, there's only so much you can expect if Scammy's in the team, let alone is the skipper, in the first place.
I suppose if you employ a T20 approach to anything but T20, you will be be s***, which they were, and it is to that approach I believe Lloyd was referring.
It has been mentioned how under prepared the team was, although they opted for bonding a bonding session instead of some warm up games. Now they have had their warm up against India, it would be interesting to see how they fear against New Zealand.
Interestingly how might the West Indies have prepared for New Zealand, given they only have one warm up game before the first Test commences?
