    "editor1": "<p><strong>Kingston (Jamaica), Sep 3:<\/strong>&nbsp;With the Jason Holder-led team earning an unwanted distinction of recording their poorest ever average in Test cricket, while conceding a 0-2 series defeat to India, skipper Holder was forced to admit that there exists a lot of problems in the Windies batting department.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Only one West Indies batsman managed to score a fifty across the two-match series, with Holder&#39;s batting unit recording their poorest-ever average (14.95) in any Test series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Obviously disappointed, we didn&#39;t play a complete game of cricket in both the games. We need to put up the scores and fight out those tough periods. It&#39;s a tough question on how to fix the batting. It&#39;s an individual thing.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We need to take ownership of our performances,&quot; said Holder speaking at the post-match presentation after Windies lost the second Test by 257 runs at the Sabina Park on Monday.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The hosts collected only 327 runs over two innings in Kingston, and produced an even more meagre grand total of 322 runs in the opening encounter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With a string of disappointments to put behind, the Windies captain admitted that it won&#39;t be easy to find solutions to the problems plaguing the team. &quot;I don&#39;t think it&#39;s a quick fix thing,&quot; he said while speaking at the post-match presser.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The situation we are in the Caribbean...we are not really spoiled for choices in terms of batsmen coming through.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We&#39;ve got to put things in place and to make sure we keep developing players and make sure players are doing the right things to be successful,&quot; he stressed.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The all-rounder pointed out that a lot of emphasis needs to be put on: the cricket West Indies play; on the franchise; and at the first class cricket level -- as it was the platform where young players will be nurtured.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We need players with experience and scenario-based experience. And when they come to the Test cricket level, it becomes a little bit easier,&quot; said Holder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>West Indies&#39; winless record against India, in Tests, now stretches back to 17 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>West Indies has one more Test this year against Afghanistan starting November 27 in Dehradun.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Holder believes that immediate addressing of the problems should also be done. &quot;There&#39;s a lot to be done. We have the opportunity to put things in place -- one or two more camps, primarily for our batters, and fast bowlers too, and holistically, developing our cricketers.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We have the franchise system here in the Caribbean but we need some structural things put in place in terms for players to develop,&quot; he added.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
