Agree...Windies batting is very all or nothing and vs India it was nothing....Bumrah did bowl well and is probably the best bowler in this format
but Shami just bowls nice and straight without much menace and plays the percentages of you miss and I hit.
The Indian batting though is very good, they have lost Dhawan which would be like us losing Warner but its hasnt really affected them much and having Dhoni at seven
gives them a player with great experience who can really tonk the ball. Windies bowled short at him and he just helped himself to runs at a crucial stage.
Where India have improved out of sight since the old days is their fielding, when I was younger they were mugs who couldnt stop a slow rolling tennis ball but these days
with all the IPL etc they dont drop much and make a lot of catches out of half chances.
