Advantages: Caddick

Disadvantages: Lara, Ambrose, Walsh ..... the WI team !!

England win a test match and everyone starts proclaiming that we will now go on to win the series.
Now, forgive me if I sound a bit pessimistic but I doubt very much if England will ever get anywhere near to repeating the feat of bowling the Windies out for just 54. I think there is little doubt that the Windies batting is inconsistent but anyone of the top order could in my view put together a match winning innings.
As for their bowling, Ambrose and Walsh may be getting on a bit but they are still quicker, better and more consistent than anything England has to offer. In tandem, these 2 can rip through any batting line up in the world so Englands should not be a problem
England were impressive for half of the last test. Even if they continue as they finished, I can't see the Windies playing as badly as they did and as such the Windies will win the series.
