Our defense was not sharp: Tom Moody

Sunrisers Hyderabad coach Tom Moody yesterday blamed his team's poor defending skills for their humiliating loss against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens here

“Our defensive skills were never as sharp as they can be. It was not a 180 runs wicket but we allowed the hosts to put an imposing total,” Moody said.

Observing that toss was a big factor in the match, Moody asserted that the Knights, who have a strong home record, were not unbeatable.

“What is important is the toss. They (KKR) have got bowlers who are well suited to the wicket here but the matter is the toss. KKR are a good side but not unbeatable,” said the coach.
