West Indies cricket fan, St Lucian Allan Hypolite thinks the Windies have an uphill battle to try to save the current Test match against Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe least they could do is try,\u201d he told DNO.<\/p>\n

Hypolite has been critical of the Windies batting, suggesting that \u201cthere were too many soft dismissals from the top-order batsmen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith just a little application we could have been in a better position.\u00a0 We allow Australia off the hook from 167 for 8.\u00a0 Now I think Australia have their hands in their throat\u201d.<\/p>\n

The St Lucian is advising that to get out of that \u201cthey have to bowl well, take early wickets\u201d.<\/p>\n

He also reiterated his concern about the Windies batting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the inexperience at the top order is what is the West Indies\u2019 basic problem.\u00a0 Your full four batsmen, between them, have not played 50 Test matches yet \u2013 that has to be a concern, the experience is lacking,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to the avid cricket fan the Windies \u201ccan\u2019t rely on Chanderpaul for everything\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomebody else have to come up and score runs,\u201d he suggested, labeling that the core of West Indies\u2019 problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"West Indies cricket fan, St Lucian Allan Hypolite thinks the Windies have an uphill battle to try to save the current Test match against Australia. \u201cThe least they could do is try,\u201d he told DNO.
