England suffered a humiliating defeat in the first Test against West Indies in Barbados, one of the biggest upsets in recent times. As the hosts bask in the glory of a famous victory, Sportsmail's experts have answered the big questions ahead of Thursday's second Test in Antigua.
Nasser Hussain described the collapse as worse than the first innings 77, noting that Roston Chase bowled non-spinning off-breaks yet took eight for 60. David Lloyd called it as bad as he has seen, saying Chase 'didn't spin a ball' and that England have a 'Calypso Collapso' in them. Paul Newman added that the batsmen are 'so talented but so brittle', while Richard Gibson said it ranks highly given England's vow to improve.
On England's inconsistency, Hussain pointed to fragile batting averages among the top six. Lloyd urged a positive outlook, saying 'the only way is up'. Newman admitted to feeling like a 'mug' after praising the team's progress in Sri Lanka, but still fancies them for the Ashes. Gibson argued that performances this winter show an upward curve, but England cannot afford more horror shows.
West Indies were praised for their performance. Hussain called it 'incredible' but hoped it is not a false dawn. Lloyd said they were 'excellent' and got everything spot on. Newman highlighted Jason Holder as one of the best all-rounders in the world, with stats better than Ben Stokes.
