West Indies were all over Bangladesh in the 1st Test and wrapped up 7 wickets win inside four days. Bowlers kept their plans simple and caused trouble for the Bangladeshi batters. Kemar Roach rightly deserved the player of the match award for his inspirational bowling in both innings. There is still plenty of improvement needs to be done in the batting department.
