Jason Holder agrees with West Indies teammate Carlos Brathwaite - England did carry on bowling too long in the first Test when they should have shaken hands on the draw.
Late on day five with four Windies wickets down, Holder and Nkrumah Bonner were well set to see out the draw, but Joe Root refused to call time on his bowlers inside the final hour. Instead he waited until there were five balls left and it was a mathematical impossibility that England could win the game.
Speaking as a pundit on BT Sport, the white ball all rounder Brathwaite called it ‘disrespectful’ that England carried on, suggesting that they could take the remaining six wickets in a flurry on a docile pitch. "If I were Kraigg Brathwaite (no relation) or any of the other senior players in that dressing room I would have found it a bit disrespectful that in the last hour,” he said.
