India were again back to school in the absence of Gavaskar and the likes of Hazare’s, Sardesais, and Amarnath’s who had countered the Carribean pace battery in the past visits to West Indies. Batsmen surrendered meekly and could just somehow avoid the whitewash in 4-match series. Kapil was the only saving grace, but alone he could not bat WI out of the match.
