Should the West Indies try a 'Bazball' approach after Kingston?

After that 27-all-out, some people are saying West Indies should just go ultra-aggressive and play a Bazball style, no matter the risk. Is this actually a good idea for a struggling Test team, or would it just mean even more embarrassing collapses? Should they back fearless cricket or keep trying to grind out results the old way?

I don't see the harm in trying something new. They already look like they're playing not to lose rather than to win. At least Bazball would give the fans something to cheer about.

It would be a gamble, but honestly their current defensive strategy isn't working either. Maybe attacking mindsets would free up some of their talented hitters.

They have little to lose at this point. The cricket world would much rather see them go down fighting than barely scoring any runs because of fear.

Bazball only works if you have players who love playing their shots. Right now, West Indies don't have the big names for it but at least it's worth a shot, given the results.
