Well that teaches Gibson/Sammy a lesson in taking a winning combination for granted.
The first two ODIs might've been convincing wins and i could understand that trying to rotate the players, so everybody gets a game. but as far as i'm aware, the series isn't over yet. They should only do that when the series is wrapped up. Besides our squad is in no position to rotate, we're still very much a work in progress.
As far as collasping to spin is concerned, well like i said on various forums, i can count on one hand how many batsman from the Caribbean are genuinely comfortable in playing decent spin bowlers, within the last 15 years (Hooper, Lara, Chanderpaul and Sarwan) and that in itself is quite alarming!!
Well this poor batting performance will be a good kick-up-the-backside for the rest of the tour.

And this is where the first Test will be played.
Send out an SOS for Simmons to join the Test team....
How about Gayle, et al?

There is no fight in this side....
They're not even trying to defend the 61. Where are the fielders trying to cut off singles? Where are the bowlers trying to take wickets? Where's the leadership?
