With http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 on the verge of their first ODI series defeat against Bangladesh at their home, head coach Ottis Gibson has urged his batsmen to produce an improved performance in the third One Day International against the Bengali Tigers, at the Shere
Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka today, December 5, 2012.
"We have to make more runs than them, so it means that our batsmen have to be a little bit more determined than they have been to stay there, be a little bit more conscientious about the way they build their innings and executing their roles for the team,"
said Gibson at the customary match-eve press meet on Tuesday.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 led Caribbean contingent trails 0-2 in the five-match ODI series, after the hosts won the opening two matches in Khulna by seven wickets and 160 runs respectively. In both the games, the rampaging Windies were outclassed by a relatively inexperienced
Bangladesh line-up, featuring four debutants, including Barisal off-spinner Sohag Gazi – 7 wickets from two matches – and second ODI centurion http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Anamul-Haque-c44160.
Blaming his side’s poor batting for the debacle, Gibson said that the hosts, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747, had things too easy in the first two one-dayers. The West Indies coach also hoped that his team could make improvements in all three departments of the game.
"We have gifted our wickets," said the visiting coach. "But if we pay a little bit more attention and are a little bit more streetwise, especially against their spinners, and put a significant total on the board, I back our bowlers to defend it," he went
on to add.
Meanwhile, the West Indies' training session scheduled for Tuesday, at the National Cricket Academy Ground in Mirpur was cancelled following the threat of a general strike in the Bangladesh capital, Dhaka.
All of the three remaining ODIs of the series will be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, on December 5, 7 and 8 respectively. Gibson said that Shere Bangla had always been a good venue for them and hoped for his side to make a strong
comeback into the series and turn the tables on the hosts.
