Simmons believes Broad’s ball spell changed game

West Indies head coach, Phil Simmons feels that the match yesterday against England was lost due to Stuart Broad’s performance with the new ball on day four.

England leveled the three-Test series with a 113-run win in the second match and Simmons spoke to the media following the loss.

He explained “I think through the five days we played some good cricket, for me we lost control over the game in five or six overs of the new ball yesterday evening when we were in a good position to bat through the day and then bat some of today and close off the game but the spell from Broad is where I think we lost the game and we lost our way there and couldn’t hold it back.”
