West Indies T20 captain Carlos Brathwaite has pointed out that top-order issues have been the major worry for them in the two matches against Pakistan in Dubai. West Indies were reduced to 17 for 4 in the first T20, before being bowled out for 115, and were tottering at 19 for 3 while chasing 161 in the second T20. They lost both matches and now the teams move to Abu Dhabi for the third T20 on Tuesday.The one glaring thing I can see [that went wrong in the first two matches] is the batting, especially top-order batting, Brathwaite said on Monday. We havent been making the most of the first six overs with only two fielders out. And then it became harder and harder…in the first game we had five wickets down. And then chasing 160 and [being] only 20-odd after the first six, its going to be a lot more difficult especially with such huge boundaries. So our top-order batting and the misuse of the first six overs was our downfall in the first two games.Their top three batsmen - Johnson Charles, Evin Lewis and Andre Fletcher - fell for low scores, leaving much of the work for the middle and lower order. While openers Charles and Lewis managed scores of 7 and 10, and 1 and 3 respectivly, No. 3 Fletcher scored 2 and 29. Among all batsmen who have batted in the two T20s, only one - Dwayne Bravo - has scored over 30. Brathwaite said it was the collective effort he was concerned about, and not the performance of any single player, when asked about Andre Fletchers form.Its about each and every person, not only one single one, Brathwaite said. As a batting unit we did not come to the party, we didnt perform as we wanted to do in the two games. We dont want to single out Fletcher. He has done very very well for the West Indies in the recent past and if you remember he had scored a match-winning 80-odd against Sri Lanka in the [T20] World Cup. So one or two bad games do not make him a bad player. Fletcher knows what he has to do to be better than he has been in the first two days, so has the top order. Its about them going back to the rooms, recalibrating, finding ways and means to execute different plans.West Indies biggest positive has been their legspinner Samuel Badree, their only bowler to concede at less than seven runs per over in the series so far. Even though West Indies were defending only 115 in the first T20, he opened the bowling and finished with 4-0-27-1, taking the only wicket that fell. In the second T20, Badree was their most economical bowler with figures of 4-0-24-1. He bowled Pakistan opener Sharjeel Khan on both occasions.Simplicity [is his strong point], he keeps it simple, he knows his strengths, Brathwaite said about Badree. I think himself and Imad Wasim are quite similar, as in they are not big turners of the ball and they probably wont keep you awake at night but when they get into the game and the way they bowl wicket to wicket - you miss I hit - thats been successful for Badree, the No. 1 bowler in the world and you can see why.Brathwaite also reflected on his learnings as captain from the second series he has been leading his team in. He took over from Darren Sammy and won his first series as T20 captain when they beat India 1-0 in the two-match series in Florida last month. Brathwaite said he was feeling more confident with his role as captain with more matches under his belt, even though they were trailing 2-0 in the current series.I have learnt a lot. So I am not really judging myself and thinking because I want to win the series and make the West Indies fans happy, he said. If we can help the fans to continue to enjoy T20 cricket then Id think I have done a good job. Up until now, we havent so its up to me to motivate the guys for the next game to help put a smile on the fans faces.I dont know if its more comfortable or more familiar but Im still new into the job, but thats not an excuse [for losing]. As we go on, I feel a lot more confidence with things. I dont know for how long Ill be in the job for but just want us to do a good job and even get better at it.The visitors had faced extremely hot conditions in Dubai last week and are likely to face more of that in Abu Dhabi with the highest temperature expected to go close to 40 degrees. Brathwaite said they had not adjusted that poorly but stated it was more likely to be a bigger factor during the ODIs and Tests in the coming weeks.It is what it is. The heat wont change, probably it will be hotter as we go into the 50-over as we start early and then Test cricket which will see longer days. So I wont say its easy but you know we have to adjust, we havent adjusted that poorly. However, we have completed the 20 overs within the time frame and coming off the field dont think too many guys were panting. So we seemed fit enough to get through 20 overs with good intensity. The heat is a factor but I dont think it had any bearing on them getting on to 160 and us not restricting them to 140 or 150. http://www.authenticshopredskins.com/Authentic_Sean-Taylor_Redskins_Jersey/ .

BOSTON -- Boston Colleges postseason hopes will live on for another week.Patrick Towles passed for 183 yards and a touchdown in his final home game, Davon Jones added a rushing score and Boston College defeated UConn 30-0 on Saturday.Eagles senior linebacker Matt Milano added a 19-yard interception return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.Boston College (5-6) can become bowl-eligible with a victory in its regular-season finale at Wake Forest next week.It felt great to be in the locker room with them after they won this game, Eagles coach Steve Addazio said. Im looking forward to having an opportunity to win one more and get six.Neither team entered Saturday having produced much on offense in recent weeks.The Huskies (3-8) started freshman Donovan Williams at quarterback for the second straight game in an attempt to jumpstart an offense that entered the day averaging an FBS-worst 16.5 points per game. But UConn managed just 121 yards of offense, with Williams throwing three interceptions.A disappointing loss, UConn coach Bob Diaco said. Hard to win. When you dont have production on one side of the ball it becomes impossible. Itll be fixed. I know what the issues are and theyre going to be fixed -- and thats why were disappointed.The Eagles, whose offense came in averaging an FBS-worst 295.5 yards per game, had better luck.Towles had struggled throwing the ball this season, but found a groove in the third quarter completing 5 of 6 passes in the Eagles first drive out of halftime. The series ended with his 10-yard touchdown pass to Michael Walker that put BC in front 17-0.We talked all week -- weve got two games to make this season special. Check one, right? Towles said. Weve got a one-game season left.THE TAKEAWAYUCONN: The Huskies have tried to shake things up offensively in their past two games, but they havent moved the needle much. It was a particularly rough day for Williams, but all the experience is good for the young quarterback going forward.BOSTON COLLEGE: The stridess the Eagles made offensively come at the right time.dddddddddddd They will need it in their finale next week if theyre going to earn their third bowl berth under coach Steve Addazio.TURNOVER BATTLEBCs defense forced a season-high four turnovers (three INTs, fumble recovery). It was the most since the Eagles had five against Notre Dame on Nov. 21, 2015.SERIES DOMINANCEThe Eagles earned their 10th straight victory in their series with the Huskies. BC has outscored the Huskies in those games 297-59.SHUTOUT WINSThe victory was Boston Colleges first shutout win since a 76-0 win over Howard on Sept. 12, 2015.
