"The batting didn't fall apart."
From CricInfo.

45 and 71 and he thinks the batting did not fall apart.

What an idiotic statement! I've lost all respect for this spin doctor.

Holder must have been involved in a different game.
The excuse that this was not a T20 side does not hold water. If these were proper players with good technique and a brain, they would not have all been out for under 75 twice.
Maybe they would have made 45 for 1 or 2 wickets because they could not get the ball off the square, but certainly not all out for this paltry score.

West Indies captain Jason Holder: "I don't think it's a drop in intensity, we just didn't bat well in these two games. We have to give England credit as well, they bowled well and stuck to their plans. When we're batting, we've got to learnt to adapt, set it up for our middle-to-lower half. A case of working on our death bowling and our fielding, too. It was a good tour, we won the Tests, and drew the ODIs, weren't at our best here, continuing with the ODI squad. But I'm pretty pleased as skipper, plenty of positives and lots to learn. Our next assignment is in Ireland, looking forward to that."

all that happened is that the WI team came into their own at the end of tour and starting hitting their usual strides.

Here it is boss.

Holder refuted the suggestion that his side's batting had "fallen apart" despite being bowled out for 45 and 71 within 48 hours, but accepted they had failed to adapt to a pitch he characterised as "two-paced"


I know I did not make it up..
