West Indies are displaying a T20 mindset in a Test match

Dear Editor,

After losing at the T20 and a devastating loss in the First Test against England, the West Indies allowed England to set a record for the fastest 50 in Test cricket. With 11 overs bowled England had passed 80 runs. The field was set similarly to what you would expect during the T20 power play. England had their way with the boundaries. The Captain of the West Indies and his bowlers seem to have forgotten that they were in a Test match. Simple adjustments can have a positive impact on our team’s performance.

Sincerely,

Jamil Changlee
