We failed to capitalise on the chances, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 – Cricket News Update
Ross Taylor, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 and urged his young players to learn from the home team if they want to excel at the ultimate level of the sport.
The Black Caps have had a disastrous series both on and off the field, failing to compete with the star-studded home team and struggling with injuries to their premier players.
The middle-order batsman himself missed the initial three matches because of a shoulder injury, which occurred during the first T20 of the tour at Florida. However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915 came back in style in the fourth encounter, scoring a hundred in a losing cause.
In the last ODI of the tour, New Zealand needed 242 runs to restore some pride ahead of the Test series but the Kiwis stumbled under pressure and were all out in the last over of the innings, falling 20 runs short of their target.
After the match, Taylor expressed that his team had a great chance to restrict the home side to a much lower target, before http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andre-Dwayne-Russell-c44235 came to his own and played a match-winning cameo, which changed the course of the match. The Kiwi captain admitted that
his side allowed the opposition to run away with the show in the later stages of both the innings.
The 28-year-old was all praise for the West Indian off-spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunil-Philip-Narine-c91869, who grabbed five victims in the match.
"It was pretty similar to the last game. Last 15 overs with bat and ball, Windies played better than us. We need to learn from them. First two games we were completely outplayed,” the New Zealand said. “Today we had our chances, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Russell-c87177 and Narine took it
away from us. Narine's a good bowler, still very new to Tests, and we don't have to attack him much."
Narine, who was named as the Player of the Match, showed his pleasure during the presentation ceremony and wants to keep performing in the coming matches.
"Good feeling being able to come out and produce for your country. I am a bit nervous but I tend to try and keep cool, the hard work pays off at the end," he added.
