They didn't even try playing shots, Mhambrey on West Indies batters

Port of Spain, Jul 23 (PTI) India's bowling coach Paras Mhambrey has dubbed the pitch used for the second Test as "very, very slow for batting" and criticised the West Indians for "not even trying" to play shots.

Down 0-1 in the two-match series, the West Indies, in response to India's first-innings total of 438, looked in no hurry to score through the third day's play at Queen's Park Oval.

"The pitch is very slow, very easy for batting. Towards the end, it started turning a bit. West Indies were defensive with the bat too. When there's an attempt to play shots, there's an opportunity to get a wicket but they didn't even try that.
