SHANE DEITZ ON LOSS

CCNTV6

Following the huge loss to India in the opening One-Day International, Windies women's coach Shane Deitz says his team has to improve in all departments of the game.   Added to that, he feels a lack of ODI cricket for the Caribbean side doesn't make it any better.

00:00Shane Deeds is a disappointed man after homeside India shellacked the West Indies by 211 runs

00:05in the opening ODI.

00:06The Windies women's coach said the team failed to execute its plans and paid the price for

00:11it.

00:12The idea was to try to get some early wickets, get them under pressure.

00:16We thought like 250 would be a real easy score to chase and there's like a massive dew out

00:21there now so if you're trying to bowl now it would have been quite difficult.

00:25So we wanted to get through the new ball because we knew that would do a bit, obviously run

00:29out first ball doesn't help.

00:30Besides batting and bowling, fielding is extremely important as it can determine the outcome

00:34in the end.

00:36And Deeds has also been unhappy with his players for failing in that department.

00:41We don't teach them to drop catches, we teach them to catch the catches.

00:44But in the heat of the moment we dropped some catches and they dropped one or two as well

00:50but if you send a team in you've got to take all your catches, get all your chances to

00:56put them under pressure.

00:57Obviously we didn't, everyone's watched cricket around the world enough to know.

01:01We work hard at training on our catching but you know sometimes you drop them in matches

01:06but we're going to do a lot better and all aspects of our game have got to improve.

01:11India will host the next 50 over World Cup in 2025 with teams having to qualify for it,

01:18such is also the case with West Indies and Deeds does not need any reminders.

01:22We haven't played one day in a national match for over six months so that showed today as

01:27well.

01:28I think being out in the field that long, we've had a lot of T20 cricket, the T20 World

01:31Cup.

01:32We had a good T20 World Cup, we made it to the semi-finals, we probably should have won

01:36that as well.

01:37So switching to ODI cricket, obviously the result says we haven't done a good job there.

01:43The second game of the three-match ODI series is on Tuesday from 4am TNT time as it's a

01:49day-night affair.

01:50Vinod Nawani, Tiffs Export.
