West Indies captain Jason Holder rued his side’s ‘careless shots’ and failure to fire in the middle order after an eight-wicket loss to England yesterday.
“We didn’t put enough runs on the board. There were a few careless shots, if we had hung in a bit longer we could have got some more in the end,” a frustrated Holder said.“We need more ownership in the middle. Batters got out at crucial stages, we need to correct it. It’s happened twice in two games now.”

“It’s been difficult so far for him. We’ve tried our best to keep him on the park but it’s proven difficult. We think he can be a matchwinner for us,” Holder said. “We’ve got to do everything we can to keep him on the park.”
