00:00I tell you what, after falling short in the first T20, West Indies captain Shea Hope had pointed fingers at the batters.
00:05But in the second match, while the batting woes continued, the spotlight, well, that shifted, as you saw, to the fielding,
00:12with a series of dropped catches proving costly once again.
00:16It's cricket, the reality of the game, catches will drop.
00:19No matter how many catches you take in training, over your career, you still will drop a catch.
00:24And I'm sure everyone who dropped tonight will definitely drop another catch in their career.
00:27But it's just one of those things when you can see the importance of those catches,
00:31especially on the surface, which I thought maybe got a little bit better in seconds to bat on.
00:37If you put down quality players like that, then you're going to find yourself playing catch-up every single time
00:43when you're trying to defend the total with the ball.
00:45But yeah, we let ourselves down in the fielding department.
00:48But as I said before, we have three more games to play.
00:51We've got to make sure we turn things around quickly.
00:54Kippa catching some feelings.
00:55And while the series isn't decided yet,
00:57Lee Skippa also pointed out some of the changes they owe to make over the final three matches.
01:03I would like to see a better execution of both bat and bowl.
01:06I think if you look at the Aussie batters, when they went to go big,
01:11they basically cleared the ropes every single time.
01:13And can't really say the same for our batters.
01:15So just about being precise with our execution when we bat.
01:18And then the same thing goes when we bowl.
01:20We haven't really been hitting those wide yorkers and those straight yorkers that we're really practicing in the nets.
01:27I think when we're trying to go away, we're just not going as wide as we need to.
01:30So I think it has to belong to execution in both departments.
