Jason Holder backs his side to come good against India in the second Test at Sabina Park
West Indies skipper Jason Holder has backed his pacers to come good and pick up 20 wickets in the second Test at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica. In spite of facing a massive 318 run defeat in the first Test at Antigua, Holder said that he will stick to the same bowlers who played in the previous game.West Indies went with four pacers and one spinner in the first Test at Antigua.
He also lauded pacers Kemar Roach and Shannon Gabriel for their performance in the first Test. Roach picked up five wickets while Gabriel picked up four.
"Pace is the backbone of our side. We have done well with our seamers. Roach and Gabriel have been outstanding. I have also been supporting the bowling line up. We have heavily relied on our pacers from the last couple of years. Hopefully, we continue to keep our pacers fine and hope we get 20 wickets in this Test match."
Holder also hoped for a better performance from his side in the second Test. His side failed to capitalize on the good start given by their bowlers. At one point, India were reeling at 25 for 3.
"We are disappointed with our performance in the last game and this is an opportunity for us to level the series. We have to perform. Hopefully, we can play really good team cricket."
Ajinkya Rahane's hundred and five wicket-hauls from Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah helped India walk away with a comfortable victory in the first Test. Virat Kohli and his men will look to whitewash the series and pocket full 120 points available from this series.
The second Test will be played at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica later today.
