In the end West Indies should have lost 3-0 but will reflect on the times at Trent Bridge (first innings best) and Edgbaston 55/5 when they should/should have pressed home the advantage.

But they didn’t do that because they simply didn’t have the necessary balance of the game with us and the experience.
