GROS ISLET – West Indies captain Jason Holder has taken a swipe at his batsmen after his side crashed to a humiliating 237-run defeat against India in the third Test on Saturday.

Facing a target of 346 after India declared nearly an hour into the morning session,West Indies imploded for 108 in about two sessions to hand India the series at the Daren Sammy National Stadium.

“We haven’t been able to put up reasonable first-innings totals which have hampered us in the recent past. If you don’t put up a good first innings total, then you are chasing the game,” Holder said.

“We need to knuckle down. As batsmen, we need to be accountable for our actions. At the top, predominantly, we haven’t been consistent, not getting starts we’ve been looking for.” (CMC)
