Cricket: We were disappointing and poor, says Radford

Andre Fletcher is clean bowled by Ali during the 2nd T20 match against Pakistan in Dubai.

West Indies batting coach Toby Radford said that they were disappointing and poor against Pakistan in the back-to-back Twenty20 Internationals at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium but will try and pick up the pieces.
The world champions lost the second game by 16 runs on Saturday night and it came on the back of a nine-wicket loss on Friday night.
Pakistan have already sealed the series with one match left to play in Abu Dhabi.
"We were disappointing and poor," Radford said.  
"It was a good side which came here as world champions and clearly wanted to win. There are no excuses and we are disappointed with the way we performed. There was plenty of effort put in training and plenty of talks but we just didn't deliver," he added.
Radford said that the West Indies were poor in the Powerplay and also added that they couldn't combat the game plan laid out by Pakistan.
"The first Powerplay yesterday (Friday) and today (Saturday) were very similar. Yesterday (Friday) we were five down, three down in the first six today (Saturday). And I think the big difference when you looked at Pakistan in the first six was they were 38 for 1 and 39 for 1 on both days," he said.
"Clearly, the game plan from Pakistan has been to have slow wickets to bowl a lot of spin and have very big boundaries. West Indies are known to be a big, six-hitting and boundary-hitting side, normally play on quicker pitches and slightly smaller grounds. But it's up to us to find a way around that," added Radford.
Radford gave credit to Pakistan for the way they have gone about in the series.
"Pakistan have bowled well, they have actually fielded well. When they batted, they showed on a slow wicket and a big outfield that it's actually all about knocking the ball into gaps and doing a lot of running. They ran a lot of twos tonight which I think really stretched us, and I don't think it was ever going to be a game for lots of boundaries because I don't think it's that type of surface and that type of outfield," he said.
