MANCHESTER – Head coach Phil Simmons yesterday underscored the importance of West Indies posting large totals if they are to be competitive in next month’s three-Test series against England.
Speaking in a media conference via Zoom, Simmons said if the side’s “world-class” bowling attack was to be afforded the chance to take 20 wickets consistently, the batting needed to fire on all cylinders.
“I think that’s the important part of this tour,” he said from quarantine at Old Trafford.
“There’s a lot of pressure on the batsmen to perform because the bowling unit has been carrying the Test team for a while now and it’s something that we are harping on a lot.” (CMC)
