T20 WC: Namibia's Erasmus Admits 156 ‘not Quite Enough’ After Loss To Netherlands
T20 World Cup: Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus admitted his side fell short in their seven-wicket defeat to the Netherlands at the Men’s T20 World Cup, saying the toss and missed opportunities played a role, but admitted that a score of 156 was never going to be quite enough.
"I felt like it was a decent toss for them to win. He also said he thought it was a good toss to win, seeing the amount of stick the spin got in those first and third overs. So, that's a cricketing thing, and it's out of your control that you can't really control the toss, as maybe they got a little bit better conditions.
“But that's not in our control -- what was in our control was the bat and ball. I thought the guys stuck to it on the sticky surface in that first bit of the game to try and build up to 160 as opposed to bash your way there," Erasmus told reporters in the mixed zone at the conclusion of the game.
