WI coach Phil Simmons puts the entire blame on the batting unit which failed to bat \u201cprofessionally\u201d and also lost 6 quick wickets in the span of 21 runs. West Indies were bowled out in 118 runs only, with coach Simmons being furious with the team\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joy for Scotland at the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/T20WorldCup?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#T20WorldCup<\/a> as they defeat the West Indies in Hobart \ud83d\udcaa<\/p>\n<p>All the key talking points \ud83d\udc47<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tpd1CV96dH\">https:\/\/t.co\/tpd1CV96dH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 T20 World Cup (@T20WorldCup) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/T20WorldCup\/status\/1581927871874043904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 17, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the only way to say is we\u2019re disappointed. I think our batting today was definitely a bit unprofessional. I think we need to wake up and start being as professional as we can be when we\u2019re batting. The bowlers seemed to be working hard and putting us in good positions but the batters continued to falter,\u201d Simmons said in the post-match press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know. I haven\u2019t questioned the dressing room yet, let them calm down a little bit first, let myself calm down a little bit first before I go into the dressing room,\u201d said Simmons. \u201cI think it was too many soft dismissals. I think as batsmen you have to pay a lot more attention to your wicket. Every time we play we\u2019re up there with the run-rate, doesn\u2019t matter who we are playing. But we keep losing wickets. So I think I\u2019ve been trying to remedy that for the last couple of months but doesn\u2019t seem like it\u2019s there yet,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ICC T20 WORLD CUP 2022: West Indies failed to reach the target of 161 runs after Scotland smashed a brilliant\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":27644,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3396,1117,1122,242,3066],"class_list":["post-4631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-icc-t20-world-cup-2022","tag-phil-simmons","tag-scotland","tag-west-indies","tag-wi"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
