KINGSTON, Jamaica: West Indies are staring down the barrel of another heavy Test defeat to Australia but fast bowler Jason Holder has not given up home his struggling side can turn it around.
The home team were 16 for two wickets in their second innings at stumps on the third day of the second Test in Jamaica on Saturday, still needing another 376 runs to win.
Considering their poor performance with the bat in the three innings of the two-Test series a dramatic turnaround is not on the cards, but Holder said his side had a chance if they could settle in.
“For me it’s still a good batting pitch,” Holder told the host broadcaster. “You need to spend some time to get in. Once you get in it becomes a lot easier.”
“It’s Test cricket. You must expect pressure. We just have to apply ourselves for as long as we can tomorrow.”
