West Indies coach Ottis Gibson said his team needed some early wickets on Wednesday morning to stay in the first Test.
“276 is a good target. A lot of things have happened in the morning session and, hopefully, we can get a few wickets and put India under pressure. Ashwin bowled very well and put it in the right areas and that is something we haven't done very well. Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir got off to a flier but they still need 120-odd,” Gibson said. The coach wished his batsmen had performed better in the second innings.
“They could have been positive (like Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Darren Sammy) without being reckless.
“Somebody like Sehwag stays positive irrespective of the surface but he has 10 years of international experience and has been exposed to various situations.
“That is something our younger players need to learn as well,” Gibson said.
