Pride call

Article by

EAST LONDON – West Indies captain Jason Holder has urged his failing side to muster all the pride they can and come back strongly in the final two One-Day Internationals of the five-match series.

The Caribbean side conceded the series on Wednesday when they went down by nine wickets in the third game at Buffalo Park after a feeble performance with the bat.

Holder, in his first series as skipper, said the only thing left to motivate the Windies would be their sense of national pride.

“Obviously it’s a series loss and we need to salvage some pride, but having said that we are still building towards the World Cup. We’ll be looking to get some combinations right and seeing if our batsmen can get some form going into the World Cup and finish off these two games well,” he told the media following Wednesday’s contest.
