Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 64209, member: 636"] West Indies Test captain Roston Chase blamed inadequate finances and substandard infrastructure in the Caribbean for his team's ongoing batting woes after India defeated them by an innings and 140 runs in Ahmedabad on Saturday. The visitors managed only 162 and 146 in their two innings, and they failed to bowl out India in the match. Chase acknowledged the struggle while emphasizing that players must still take responsibility for their performances. The all-rounder cited poor training facilities, unhelpful pitch conditions, and slow outfields as contributing factors to the team's difficulties. The West Indies have surpassed 250 runs just once in their past 15 Test innings. Chase stressed that failing to bat through a full day after winning the toss puts teams in immediate danger. The Caribbean side will face India again in Delhi on Friday after losing 3-0 to Australia at home in July. [/QUOTE]
