West Indies captain Kieron Pollard admitted that his team was not good enough in their campaign in the ICC Men’s t20 world cup. He said that West Indies will have to re-think their approach to play T20Is again. Entering the tournament as defending champions, West Indies failed to reach the semi-finals with just one win in the Super 12 stage.
“I think overall (it has been) a disappointing campaign. The batting has lived up to the expectations, the bowling has been good. We could have done better with the fielding as well. Overall we were not good enough. Obviously, we need to look at the way we play T20 cricket again. Our team is prepared to do a lot of damage to the power hitters, but we weren’t able to do that,” Pollard said at the post-match presentation ceremony, when West Indies lost to Australia by eight wickets in their last match of the tournament.

“We’ve seen in these conditions a guy in the top four has to bat, when you try and last as long as possible. It’s hard for the boys to come and hit straight. This is something that we need to improve but the good thing is that we have to start from the foundation now and that is the reality of the situation. “We can’t do anything about it now,” Pollard said.
Talking about the future, Pollard said, “The journey would have started earlier to earn whatever is needed to qualify. For us, it is what it is. We have to live with it. A few years back we had to qualify for the 50-over World Cup and we did. So now whoever is in this position in terms of personnel, we have to rebuild and do that.”

“But for me, it is the end of a generation/era where you have some people who have done some good things for T20 cricket not only in the Caribbean but around the world. Sometimes when it comes to a tournament you don’t want to sum it all up, but arguably these guys have done really well for themselves and we are very proud of it.”
Pollard signed off thanking the team’s supporters. “Thank you to all who have supported us. Thanks to Caribbean fans, yes we let you down as a team, sorry. Life goes on. Thanks a lot.”
