Coach Bennett King says there is lots more work to do if West Indies batsmen are to challenge more regularly. The side scored four centuries in the drawn fourth Test against South Africa but lost the series 2-0.
"If we become more consistent and have more people contributing every innings then we're going to be a strong batting side," said Australian King.
"At the moment we're getting spasmodic performances, where people get big scores but they're not backed up."
King, who had only been in the job six months, added: "The players are really starting to settle into our philosophy and our hard work that we're trying to create for them."

Captain Shivnarine Chanderpaul preferred to look ahead to the one-day series, starting on Saturday, and Tests against Pakistan later this month.
"They played smarter cricket than us throughout the series," Chanderpaul said of South Africa.
"It's past now and the one-dayers are coming up. We're looking forward to at least winning the one-day series and taking it on to Pakistan."
"Some of our (batsmen) seem to be getting back in form. Our bowlers are getting some experience so we'll have a more mature bowling attack than in the Test series."
West Indies batsman Dwayne Bravo was celebrating his maiden Test century in his seventh match, even though the pitch was a bowler's nightmare.
"I said to myself that within my first 10 matches I wanted to have a Test hundred," he said.
"I'm sorry to say it came in a draw situation but all in all I feel good about myself."
"It wasn't the right track for bowling but it's good to see batters getting hundreds."
