NOTTINGHAM, England (Reuters) - West Indies captain Jason Holder said his batsmen need to take more responsibility after they lost to Australia by 15 runs in the Cricket World Cup on Thursday. Chasing 289 for victory, West Indies made a poor start before Shai Hope (68) and Nicholas Pooran (40) rebuilt the innings, but the Mitchell Starc-led Australian attack restricted them to 273-9. "Take a little bit more responsibility, and chasing especially, you just need to take responsibility, and it's important that one of the top four batters be there at the very, very end." West Indies began their campaign strongly by crushing Pakistan thanks to hostile pace bowling. "I just think we just need to be aggressive, continue to be aggressive, smart aggression, and just continue to look to take wickets," Holder said.
