'T&T eyeing better show beside NSW'


Trinidad and Tobago would look to list their first win in the NCL T20 with a better show in their second game Wednesday, Denesh Ramdin said.

Ramdin assered the West Indians were far from being dissatisfied after their narrow one-wicket loss alongside Mumbai Indians,

T&T came close to dramatic Mumbai in Bangalore Monday and Ramdin said his team would draw self-assurance that they stretched their fancied opponent to their limits before losing by one wicket in the last ball of the innings.

"We are dissatisfied (at the defeat against Mumbai). But as I said, we fought well and extended Mumbai. They have a strong batting order with Kieron Pollard and Andrew Symonds.

"But our bowlers bowled well under lot of force," he said about yesterday's hit at the hands of Mumbai.

Ramdin said his side would look to post a spirited total in case they bat first in their second match of the tournament next to New South Wales.

"We would hope to shoot them out for about 130 or 140 runs and then chase it down. If we bat first, we would also look to maintain impetus and try to post a spirited total," he said.

T&T were shot out for 98 in their last match and Ramdin admit that his side would have to produce a better show in their batting department.

"We misinterpret the pitch in Bangalore and it was bad that we didn't score runs. (Lendl) Simmons' run out was unlucky and as a result we kept losing wickets. We fought, but couldn't pull off victory," he said.

"(Against NSW) it's a different attack, different surface, different game as well, so hope the boys pick themselves up (and post a win)," he added.

He said the Chepauk wicket here looks a bit slow and "should almost certainly aid our slow bowlers."
