Why adopting the T20 mindset in Tests can work for West Indies 

#3 The best alternative

T20 mindset can rejuvenate West Indies' Test cricket

Practically speaking, the West Indies Test team is running out of ideas. To rekindle their fate in the longest format of the game, they have limited options left.

And, most of these options have been already tried and their results have been pathetic. Except for applying the T20 mindset, the island nations have no other options left.

With nothing to lose, West Indies can experiment liberally. Even if the results of embracing this mindset of T20 are pathetic, it won't make much difference as they are already looking at the wrong end of the barrel.

However, if this approach works, then the benefits are immense. It may well end up rejuvenating West Indies' Test cricket. Thus, in terms of 'risk vs reward', this approach provides more rewards than the risks it involves.
