The Queens Sports Club has witnessed a tie, and a one-run defeat, but still no cigar for West Indies. For the second time in two matches, they went into the final over of a chase with a chance to win. But yet again, they fell just short. Captain Jason Holder put their shortcoming against Sri Lanka on Wednesday down to the relative greenness of this squad.I think its inexperience, Holder said. Theres obviously situations that were not accustomed to being in. Were still a relatively young side. Everybodys trying to make their mark. And I think it boils down to inexperience, and having that know-how at the end to get us across the line. We had set up the game nicely, and Evin Lewis played an exceptional knock to put us in the situation that we were in.Lewis, playing in just his fourth ODI, brought up a maiden fifty in the 12th over, and then reached a 91-ball century, with 12 fours and a six, to leave West Indies well placed at 177 for 3. This was the first time he had opened on the tour, and it seemed to have paid off.Hes one of those guys that likes the ball coming on, so we just felt that with 330 on the board we needed to get off well in the Powerplay and make use of that first up, Holder explained. Him and Johnson Charles did a great job there and put the Sri Lankan bowlers under pressure, capitalising on every bad ball that was bowled.He wasnt done there, opening up to smite three more sixes as wickets fell around him, and he reached 148 (second only to Chris Gayles 153 not out for the highest ODI score by a West Indian in Zimbabwe), battling cramps in the latter stages of his innings. He was there out in the field for 50 overs fielding, and then came back to bat through most of the overs, Holder said. It was a bit of cramp, and I dont think it was anything too serious.Lewis was eventually run-out after a horrible mix-up with his captain. It was the third run-out of the innings, and left West Indies needing 69 off 57. In the company of Carlos Brathwaite, Holder took the game into the last three overs with his side still within touching distance of the asking rate. With 10 needed from the final over, Holder could only manage a single off the first ball to put No. 10 Sulieman Benn on strike. Holder would not see the strike again until the final ball, when three were needed but a pinpoint, 144kph yorker from Nuwan Pradeep secured Sri Lankas win.I was just trying to get on strike, but credit must also be given to the Sri Lankan bowlers, Holder said. I thought they hit their yorkers really well, and the ball was also tailing in to the right-hander. Benn did a tremendous job to hit the six that he did, to bring the game back closer, but unfortunately he got out afterwards. The last ball was a very good ball.The defeat means West Indies face a must-win game against Zimbabwe on Friday if they are to reach the final. They may have to play that game without their opening bowler, after discomfort in his hamstring meant Shannon Gabriel could only bowl five overs today.Were managing some niggles, and Shannon wasnt able to finish his overs today, so were waiting to see if hes good to go for the next game, Holder said.

Jay Ford has enthused about the win of New Tipperary at Rosehill even though he knows he is unlikely to ride him again.Ford picked up the ride on the $3 favourite in Saturdays November Topaz Hcp (1900m) when Brenton Avdulla injured his knee in a barrier mishap earlier in the day.Avdulla, who is at the top of the metropolitan and state premierships, limped away from Rosehill on his way to get precautionary scans on his knee and appeared to have sustained some ligament damage.His mount Cottage took fright in the barrier before the second race and as she was lashing out, she kicked Avdulla in the knee.Ford proved an able replacement on the Joe Pride-trained gelding, getting him home with a head to spare over Falkenberg ($4.20), a margin Ford said could have been bigger.He is lovely horse. He doesnt really know what its all about but the ability is certainly there, Ford said.Even halfway through the race we lobbed into a really good spot. Halfway through the race hes dropping the bridle and youve just got to keep him interested.He only won narrowly but I just felt with the second horse I held that heead margin for the last furlong (200m).ddddddddddddI felt like if that horse had spurred on more my blokes definitely had more in the tank.The way he relaxes hell give himself every chance to run a mile and a half. Hes obviously a promising horse on the way up and in the next six to 12 months it wouldnt surprise me if you see him in a stakes race.But hes Brentons ride.Pride was in Perth to oversee the preparations of Terravista for next weeks Winterbottom Stakes with his racing manager Hayley Devlin confirming the stables high opinion of New Tipperary.He battled all the way right down to the end, she said.We had a jockey change which isnt always ideal on the day but he did a super job and I think weve got a nice horse.Hes still learning his craft. I think weve got a really nice horse.I think hell be a horse that well turn away and bring back in the autumn. Hes got a big heart.It was the third successive win for New Tipperary, taking his record to six from nine starts. ' ' '
