Holder dismisses criticism ahead of final test

Thursday, August 18 2016 by SNTV
  • The West Indies skipper Jason Holder spoke on Wednesday (17th August) of salvaging some pride at the Queen's Park Oval when the fourth and final Test against India starts on Thursday (18th August). The West Indies are 2-0 down in the series.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Jason Holder, West Indies captain (on losing the third test)

    "I think we lost our way in the fourth day's play when we lost seven wickets for little as possible runs. We were in a pretty decent position with the top order. We had pretty much laid a foundation but we faltered a bit from the middle to the lower order I think, which really cost us the game, and it gave India a hefty lead and we were never really able to recover from there."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Jason Holder, West Indies captain (on criticism of the West Indies team)

    "There will always be criticism. People always have something to say. There will always be criticism. People will always have their opinion, so I don;t take it on at all. I just try to do what I have to do in the best interests of the team."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Jason Holder, West Indies captain (on the Queens Park Oval wicket)

    "I saw the wicket - it looks pretty dry, there's a bit of grass on it as well you know so there's probably a good possibility that we could see a change in the squad, but I haven't sat down with the selectors yet. At the end of the day they make the final decision so we will see what happens."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Jason Holder, West Indies captain (on the general state of mind in this West Indies squad)

    "It hasn't been too bad for me you know. I haven't had the results on the field, as you just mentioned. I've just got one wicket in the series but I felt like I've been doing my job reasonably well. I obviously need some wickets, no question about that, and I need to put my hand up and hopefully things could go my way in this test series, sorry in this test match. I'm feeling pretty normal, I'm my normal self, quite jovial you know, just try to keep the spirit in the dressing room. You know I've had a lot of interaction with many players over the last few days and over this entire series. I just try to keep things as comfortable as possible."
