BIRMINGHAM, England – Windies captain Jason Holder spoke to members of the media on the eve of the first Test match against England at Edgbaston.

The two teams will meet on Thursday in the first ever day/night Test match in England using the pink ball.

First ball is 2pm (9am Eastern Caribbean Time/8am Jamaica Time). The sessions are: 2pm to 4pm; 4:40pm to 6:40pm; 7pm to 9pm.

“We had really good preparation with some outstanding performances in the warm-up matches, and we are ready for the first Test here,” Holder said ahead of training on Wednesday afternoon. “It’s a big series, as a child growing up I dreamed of playing Test cricket in England and I know everyone in the team is excited, especially starting with the pink ball.”

Mr Holder is too laid back to be a successful captain. The selectors may have to pull the plug after this series.

The only thing he does well is talk, and his lack of intensity is stifling the team and energizing the opposition.

Holder's team did not look like they were ready today, they were short on energy, I do not know if it was the chill in the air but someone has to lite a fire for the team. IMO they made a mistake by excluding Bishoo.
