Bishop believes that it will be wrong to point fingers at the current crop of West Indies players for this deterioration started way back."Yes, it has been a gradual decline. I've always said this pre-dates this group of players. We haven't played consistently good ODI cricket against the top nations for perhaps a decade now. The T20 team, afte...
