West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin has called on his squad to take more responsibility in their play following his side's eight wicket loss against South Africa in the third Test at Newlands in Cape Town on Tuesday.
The defeat also meant that the West Indies also fell to a 2-0 series loss and the skipper believes that better application would be needed in the future.
Ramdin insisted that they need to be more consistent and take ownership of their game, adding that sometimes they find themselves making 60s and 70s and think that they can play for a couple more series after that, Sport24 reported.
The skipper claimed that they should be able to make hundreds back-to-back and put the team in winning positions.
West Indies collapsed in all three Tests, the latest in the final contest in Cape Town where they lost their last six wickets for 13 runs in the second innings to fold to 215 all out.
Ramdin said that they should've carried on once they got starts, but added that most of their batters didn't go on to get that big hundred.

Marlon Samuels was a key example of the West Indies throwing away a good start, as he was out in their second innings for 74.
Ramdin admitted that the way South Africa played and the manner in which they went about their game was very professional.
South Africa were set a meagre 124 to win. They came out on day five and took 45 balls to score their first run of the day on a pitch, which was deteriorating quickly.
