Jason Holder cautions West Indies from getting 'carried away'

PERTH: Though the pitch at Perth Stadium is expected to have the typical pace and bounce, West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder has cautioned his fellow fast-bowlers to not be carried away by the nature of the pitch and try to make Australias batters work hard for runs at home. West Indies have not won a Test match in Australia for 25 years, and enter the two-Test series, starting in Perth from Wednesday as the underdogs. But with fast-bowlers like Holder, Alzarri Joseph, Jayden Seales and Kemar Roach, West Indies can cause a mighty scare to Australia in conditions where bowlers can thrive.

"People get carried away seeing carry and bounce, but you still have got to find a really good length suitable for the wicket. Understanding when to attack, when to defend, and just understanding the context of scenarios and the phase of the game." "I think the most important thing for our bowlers is to make sure the Australian batters work really hard for their runs. We've just got to assess the conditions early and make the necessary adjustments," said Holder to reporters ahead of the first Test. (IANS)
