Batsmen need to solve WI problems — Harper

BRISBANE, NOV 20: The underperforming West Indies batsmen have to make a firm resolve to remedy the team’s humiliating position, coach Roger Harper said on Monday.

“The batsmen are the players with more experience than the bowlers in general, and they’re the one’s who’ve got to dig deep within themselves and find that extra bit.”

The West Indies are pinning their hopes on leaders like gifted batsman Brian Lara firing against the Australians.

Tour manager Ricky Skerritt said the Windies were under too much pressure and needed to refocus.

“I think we have been putting a little too much pressure on ourselves, even before the tour began,” he said.
