West Indies batting coach Toby Radford rued another poor batting display from his side in their 16-run loss to Pakistan in the second T20I in Dubai. Having lost the series, Radford said that West Indies couldnt counter Pakistans game plan of spin on a ground with a slow track and big boundaries. Poor starts in the Powerplay didnt help their cause, he added.In the first T20I, West Indies were struggling at 25 for 5 after the first six overs and were eventually bowled out for a paltry 115. In the second, chasing 161, they lost three wickets in the Powerplay putting only 20 runs on the board. Radford pointed out that West Indies were unable to switch to a mode that focused on accumulating runs through singles and twos, like Pakistan have done in the matches so far.The first Powerplay yesterday and today were every similar. Yesterday we were five down, three down in the first six today, Radford said after the game. And I think the big difference when you looked at Pakistan in the first six was they were 38 for 1 and 39 for 1 on both days.Clearly the game plan from Pakistan has been to have slow wickets to bowl a lot of spin and have very big boundaries. West Indies are known to be a big, six-hitting and boundary-hitting side, normally play on quicker pitches and slightly smaller grounds. But its up to us to find a way around that.Pakistan have bowled well, they have actually fielded well. When they batted, they showed on a slow wicket and a big outfield that its actually all about knocking the ball into gaps and doing a lot of running. They ran a lot of twos tonight which I think really stretched us, and I dont think it was ever going to be a game for lots of boundaries because I dont think its that type of surface and that type of outfield.While Radford praised seamer Sohail Tanvir, who picked up 3 for 13 in his four overs, Pakistans T20 captain Sarfraz Ahmed also credited the innings played by Shoaib Malik at No. 4. Malik, who became only the third Pakistan player to score more than 1500 T20I runs, chipped in with a useful 28-ball 37, and added 69 with Sarfraz for the fourth wicket before falling in the last over. That partnership helped Pakistan garner 60 runs off the last six overs. Sarfraz finished unbeaten on 46 off 32 balls.Sarfraz also stated that the team management had decided to send in Umar Akmal at No. 6 to bolster the lower order, which had been missing a finisher.It was our strategy to play Umar Akmal at No. 6, since we needed a finisher in the lower order. We scored about 50 runs in the last five overs and we felt that was enough as we had set a target of a 150+ score, Sarfraz said. A lot of credit goes to Shoaib Malik too, the way he played with me at the end. We needed a senior player to stay at the wicket and he did that for us.Pakistan went in with an unchanged side for the second match, leaving out fast bowler Mohammad Amir. Sarfraz stressed that the management wanted to give players confidence through a longer stint in the side and Amir was a part of the sides plans for the future.We have tried to keep a winning combination so we didnt try to change too much, Sarfraz said. That is also our target - to give players a longer run in the side to build their confidence. Mohammad Amir is our main bowler and he will definitely play an important role for us in the future.

Texas?hired Herman on Saturday, hours after firing Charlie Strong.Fertitta, appearing on The Michael Berry Show on KTRH-AM in Houston on Tuesday morning, took exception to the fact that a school in the Big 12,?which explored expansion but eventually decided against it,?hired Herman.Its disappointing that the University of Texas -- who wants to open a campus in Houston and said they would never do anything to harm the University of Houston, with all the football coaches in America, who said that they would stand up for us to get into the Big 12 and then didnt even vote for us when they met with the commissioner and all the schools -- had to come take our little football coach, Fertitta told Berry. But thats business and its a great opportunity for Tom and I wish him the best. I hope they all do well, but I just hope we do better.Fertitta, also one of the Cougars biggest boosters (he donated $20 million for the naming rights to the soon-to-be-renovated basketball arena Hofheinz Pavilion, which will become the Fertitta Center), called the Big 12s expansion vetting process a sham. Houston was considered one of the top candidates to be added to the conference if the Big 12 moved forward with expansion.I think it was a PR play to see how the NCAA and everyone else was going to react since they dont have a championship game, Fertitta said. I truly dont know what they were thinking, other than just, maybe, poor lack of leadership.The Big 12 will play a conference championship game starting in 2017. When discussing the interview process that potential expansion candidates engaged in with the Big 12, Fertitta was critical.You know when I kneew we were in trouble? Fertitta said.dddddddddddd There were three [university] presidents who were on the [Big 12 expansion] committee and when we went to the interview, they werent even part of the interview process. I walked out of that meeting and said Wow, this is a sham. Theres no intention of doing anything.It was one of the great shams in college football, and college athletics, and just college period. ... It was a total sham and I sit here today and I laugh at the Big 12 and their leadership.Fertitta, an entrepreneur who owns the restaurant corporation Landrys Inc. and is the host of a CNBC reality television show called Billion Dollar Buyer, also discussed Houstons pending search to replace Herman. Asked about former LSU coach Les Miles, Fertitta said Miles is on a list. I think that tells you right there the quality of coaches that would like to come to the University of Houston.When asked about whether he would hire Art Briles, who was fired earlier this year amid the sexual assault scandal at Baylor, Fertitta said, I wish that we could get more clarity on what has happened out there [at Baylor].Were struggling with clarity, Fertitta said. I can tell you this: There are a lot of Baylor supporters in this city and people that are very close to the university ... [former Baylor president] Ken Starr, the [former] athletic director [Ian McCaw], lots of senior people and senior alumni, regents at Baylor, have said If you will meet with us, we will talk to you about the coach and we will give you clarity of how much he didnt know.Do I think that Briles got a bad rap to some degree? Obviously he did. But at the same time, youre the boss, and there was an issue there. So theres an issue. Does everybody deserve to be forgiven? Yes. Theres a lot of controversy surrounding him. I think hes a great football coach, and well just have to see where it goes from here. ' ' '
