One area England will need to improve upon is at the top of the order. Cook's opening partner has been a revolving door cast over the last two years. Root, Robson, Carberry and Compton have all partnered Cook. The grouping has just 3 centuries between them in 70 innings. Root's averaged 37.66 in 10 innings, Cook 32.82 in 35 innings, Robson 30.54 in 11 innings, Carberry 28.10 in 10 innings and Compton 9.75 in 4 innings.
West Indies have always had batsmen with low averages for international players. I don't think the averages will matter in the matches all that counts will be how the batsmen apply themselves.

[size=10pt]Samuels - averaging 35 in tests
Paint - averaging 37 in tests (he should average in the 40s after this tour is over; his weakness is, he rarely scores above 30 in the second innings)
Chanders - averaging 52 in tests, arguably our only world class player
Darren Bravo - averaging 43 in tests.
Leon Johnson - averaging 39 in tests[/size]
