Cricket-West Indies batsmen must take responsibility - Holder
"Guys just need to learn from the mistakes that they make," Holder told reporters. "Take a little bit more responsibility, and chasing especially, you just need to take responsibility, and it's important that one of the top four batters be there at the very, very end."
Asked to bat on a flat pitch at Trent Bridge, champions Australia got off to a terrible start as they were reduced to 79-5 before Nathan Coulter-Nile (92) and Steve Smith (73) shared a 102-run stand for the seventh wicket. That helped the Australians post a competitive total and they went on to secure their second win of the tournament.
"We definitely missed an opportunity," Holder said. "It's a bit disappointing to be losing a game like that when we're in full control of the game, but these things happen." West Indies began their campaign strongly by crushing Pakistan thanks to hostile pace bowling.
"I just think we just need to be aggressive, continue to be aggressive, smart aggression, and just continue to look to take wickets," Holder said. (Reporting by Saikat Chatterjee; editing Ed Osmond)
