BULAWAYO, Zimbabwe (CMC) — West Indies captain Jason Holder has conceded that the reason his team has failed to win its last two matches of the current Tri-Nation series in the final over of the chase, is because of “inexperience”.

Holder was speaking to reporters after West Indies lost to Sri Lanka by one run in a nail biting fifth game at Queen’s Club yesterday.

The Caribbean side panicked in a nerve-racking death over to concede the match on the final ball of the innings after a similarly tense encounter against Zimbabwe which ended in a tie on Saturday.

I do not agree with Holder's analysis, I think they lost because of Benn and Nurse serving up juicy full-tosses at critical times and Holder running out Lewis because of not running when he should have.

What a cop-out answer, he was selected as captain to lead.
I would say it was lack of common sense.

Since when cricket became an exact science?

Btw I don't agree with Holder's explanation/excuse

It's international cricket not school boy cricket he need to stop making excuse and admit we lost because the side overloaded with his fellow country men are just not good enough for this level

He needs to give up the Captaincy and a few of his countrymen are not good enough to command a place on the team.,
Benn
Nurse
c & BRaithwaiTe gotta make room

how much experience intl cricketers need to score 3 from 3?

In reply to doosra

Does it not depend also on who's bowling?

In reply to doosra

Who knows,.....West Indies had a team of experienced cricketers playing against SA in Barbados.......of all places, and they too could not get three runs to win that game............. so who really know how much experience is needed......one team had nuff experience, the other very little, but three runs fucked both teams...........MURDER........

In reply to cherri

man it eh suppose to be so hard

most teams, school boys or not will score 3 in 3 99/100 times

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

99/100 times 3 in 3 is easy

In reply to doosra


And the hundredth time when it matters is the time yuh does mess up.........doan sweat the small stuff, life goes on, there are more things going on to bother bout than a cricket game........

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

Spoken like a true politician..
To get one run bowls down to inexperience?
WTF..
What planet this guy living on.

Wrong "In" Jason.

It's not "inexperience ". 3 from 3 and you lose is "incompetence"

In reply to LBW375

Which is it team incompetence or Jason's?

So who is taking the blame for the
Players being inexperienced ??
Because I am very sure that Cameron & Co aint going to say it is their fault.

Inexperience? But the skipper was at the wicket again....he is very experienced at choking.
