Top Order Needs To Put Heavier Price On Their Wicket, Says Jason Holder
West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder has urged his top-order batters to go deeper and put up a heavy value on their wickets after losing the series opener to India on Sunday. In the first ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium, West Indies were in trouble at 79/7 before Holder (57) stitched a stand of 78 for the eighth wicket with Fabian Allen (29) but the tourists slumped to 176 all out in 43.5 overs.
"We got to dig deeper. I don't think we are too far off to be fair. Our top-order just needs to go a little deeper, put a heavier prize on their wickets, and just get themselves a really good chance. In these conditions, you can give yourself a really good chance to make up. You can always be knocking around close to run-a-ball and finish well past run-a-ball at the end of the innings. It's just a matter of our batters to dig a little and take it deeper for the team," said Holder in a video released by Cricket West Indies (CWI).
