The West Indies could do all of the above just fine and still lose if they do not approach the match right. In the 1st Test, after Bravo's dismissal, Jason Holder failed to gather together his tail enders and finish off the game. While Holder did an appreciable job of fighting out 127 balls for his 40, his decision to play out balls rather than trying to attack before Bishoo's wicket was questionable.

The approach to a game is as important as any factor in cricket and although Holder is a young leader, he needs to grow into the role quicker as his average skills would always stand against him. Holder also ran out if ideas as Azhar Ali worked around his bowlers easily. Some more change up overs for a part-timer or a bit of innovation in the field could have been tried. But they continue to try the failed approach.
