Clive Lloyd, who previously led the West Indies team and oversaw World Cup victories in 1975 and 1979, has at last spoken out about the Caribbean team being bowled out for 27 against Australia in Jamaica. Pat Cummins and his teammates defeated the Roston Chase-led team 0-3. Nevertheless, the Windies received a lot of flack for their complete surrender in the last innings of the pink-ball Test.

The second-lowest Test total was scored by the West Indies after they were bowled out for 27. The side came dangerously close to recording the worst score in Test cricket history, but a misfield saved them from breaking the record. In Tests, New Zealand's score of 26 in 1955 was the lowest.

Following the catastrophe of 27 all out, Cricket West Indies (CWI) issued invitations to Brian Lara, Clive Lloyd, and Sir Vivian Richards to attend the emergency conference, which will soon be held to discuss the potential causes for the West Indies' defeat.

"We must analyze every facet of West Indies cricket, from the grassroots to the international arena. Everything has to be thoroughly and attentively examined. Cricket in the West Indies is an institution. "We must do everything we can to bring it back to life because it has given so much to the people of this area," Lloyd stated in a statement released to ESPNcricinfo.

"I'm always happy to assist in any way. I'm thinking about how we may combine our ideas with what is required and have a healthy conversation about how we go ahead. We must get it perfect because we've been playing top-notch test cricket for almost a century, he said.

"The psychological component of our game..."

Lloyd also didn't hold back, saying that the West Indies must make progress in the psychological aspect of their game in order to compete with the other sides.

Brandon King was the only West Indies batsman to average more than 20 in the three matches of the series against Australia, besides Anderson Phillip. King's 75 in Grenada was the highest individual score from either side in the series, which presented a significant challenge for the batsmen from both sides.

"We need a couple more Larry Gomes, more batsmen like him. We need batters that value their wickets highly and strive to remain there once they have established themselves. There is no harm in 'batting ugly' and digging in. We haven't been doing that; instead, we need to figure out how to fight, take up the crease, and remain in for extended stretches to tire out the bowlers.

"We clearly need to improve the mental aspect of our game. We must return to the fundamentals. We must analyze schools' cricket, club cricket, and first-class cricket to see if we are playing enough. We must also analyze the pitches: how are we preparing them and how are they playing?" he continued.
