I was pleased with my effort: Tino Best – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KAJ-Roach-c1758 to dismantle
the Kiwi batting order.
“I told myself to stay focussed and try to get the ball in the right areas,” Best said. “I was happy when I got McCullum early as that gave us a good start after we won the toss and put them in. After that it got harder, but I still kept my pace up and kept
running in. In the end I was pleased with my effort.”
Best, who registered figures such as 4 for 46 and 2 for 58 during the ODI series against New Zealand, was included in the squad for the Test leg of the tour, although he did not feature in the playing XI for the first match in Antigua. However, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RD-Shah-c2298
Rampaul’s exit from the series owing to a groin injury, Best was drafted into the line-up to complete the Windies’ pace attack with Roach.
The first day saw the home team completely demolishing the tourists’ batting line-up, reducing them to 260, all out. Best played an instrumental role in his team’s success, claiming 2 for 40.
His achievements included the dismissal of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Guptill-c1980 (71) – the 3rd-wicket stand swelled to 103 runs before
Best intervened to send Taylor back to the pavilion, forcing him to get a thick outside edge, which wicketkeeper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/D-Ramdin-c1299 caught with ease.
The break-up of the Guptill-http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dean-Brownlie-c1349 was taken out of the game by Roach on duck. The tail-enders chipped in with small contributions,
but at the end of the day, the Kiwis were unable to exceed 260.
In addition to Best’s performance, Roach claimed a crucial 4 for 70, and the two pacers were assisted by spinners http://www.senore.com/Cricket/N-Deonarine-c2051 (12-3-43-2).
