“Every diversion you fool around only gets tighter as good as tighter. I’d since which a single up for passed 5 mins ago.”
“The crowd during a finish there, which was up there with a Ashes for a tender tension shown. We’ve dug ourselves a own hole as good as solemnly though certainly we’re perplexing to stand out of it as good as today’s a step towards that.”
West Indies skipper Darren Sammy was unhappy which nothing of his batsmen went upon to have a large score.
“I consider a single of a guys who got starts had to take us through.”
