LEEDS – Bowling coach Roddy Estwick conceded yesterday that West Indies had failed to properly negotiate the big moments on the penultimate day of the second Test but warned pundits not to write off the Caribbean side ahead of what could be a tense final day today.
West Indies entered the day in a strong position with England on 171 for three – only two runs ahead – but let the advantage slip, allowing the hosts to pile up 490 for eight declared in their second innings at Headingley.
Set a challenging 322 for victory, the Windies finished the day on five without loss.
“We didn’t play the big moments well at all today [yesterday]. When the captain Joe Root got out they were 40-odd for four [overall] and we then dropped a catch soon after, so the big moments we didn’t play well at all,” Estwick told reporters. (CMC)
