I think inexperience killed both openers today. The quality of in-swing and aggressive bounce that the Aussies hit Paint and Hope with, is totally alien to young West Indian batsmen. Each island should buy bowling machines and bombard each batsman with extreme pace and swing (new bowling machines can swing in and out) for a couple hours a day. Waiting on quality local bowlers to practise on is a waste of time.

Our equivalent of Voges is Devon Smith.

haha,but there is something called the bowlers sense.
The bowler might use deception that machines can't moreover WICB being one of those poorer boards,they might not be able to afford one.
Ask them to Pamper iNdian board and support all its actions in the ICC meets,see the facilities that start to flow in thereafter.
