Made a fist

The shot selection wasn't great at the beginning. Raina and Jadeja did well to put up 246, I thought we missed Nehra. Had he not been injured we could have definitely made a fist of this. Sree wasn't in great form so that didn't help. Bowler's getting back into form is a big plus for us.

Could you please explain to me what "made a fist" means in this context?

Actually, after having lost the match, the captain uttered the paragraph with woes.
