It has been a series without much intensity and few thrilling contests. It was good to see Holder's innings in Antigua and Root has played well generally. Otherwise it's hard to lose the feeling that this is two ordinary teams in combat. It would be characteristic of the best of Test cricket to watch Ballance play his innings against, say, the ferocity of Allan Donald. But on these pitches, against this attack, not so much. It'll be interesting to see how the Aussies get on against the West Indies. England should do ok v NZ on their own pitches, but will be anxious.
Nice to see WI defy the script, even so.
I always say that everybody's right.
