Though I’m currently out of the West Indies squad, I’ve somewhat had a taste of the kind of tough battle they have experienced lately

I would like to start this week’s diary by congratulating South Africa for a well deserved 2-1 victory in the Test series against us. That does not mean that I – like all the other Windies players – was not bitterly disappointed to lose (especially after our 1-0 lead in Port Elizabeth). It’s just that I appreciate that they played better cricket and seized the majority of their chances. The manner in which the South Africans executed their game plan and took us out of the decisive match in Durban was an example of the consistency and level of professionalism that is needed to be among the top teams in international cricket.

Well, the Test series against South Africa is over and unfortunately we were beaten in the final match in Durban by an innings and 100 runs.
There’s really no point in sulking over our performance. I think by now everyone knows what we did wrong and where our plans fell apart. Suffice to say that when any team is dismissed for 139 quickly on the opening day of a Test – and then faces a first-innings deficit of more than 400 runs – it would take a miracle to escape defeat.

It will still be a long way back though and our batsmen, whenever they embark on the second innings, will face a mammoth assignment

The West Indies players will need to show their mettle if they are to get out of the current dire situation in which they have gotten themselves in, less than two days into the third and final Test against South Africa.
As I write this diary, South Africa are already moving in for the kill in Durban, having built up a lead of more than 250 runs over the Windies, who were dismissed for a meagre 139 just after lunch on the opening day. I was very shocked to see what happened to my team-mates when I woke up yesterday morning.

There’s a very real possibility of West Indies winning this series with it currently deadlocked at 1-1 and this final battle on the cards

We start the last of three Test matches against South Africa in a position that very few people expected we would be in at this stage.

I woke up this morning still grinning from ear to ear. I’m overjoyed, overwhelmed – just really happy – with our victory (in four days, might I add) over South Africa last Saturday in Port Elizabeth. It has been a long time coming and it was sweet – especially being the underdogs.
Full postConsistency has put Windies in command
The watchwords for West Indies over the next day or two will be “consistency” and “complacency” – they need a lot of the first and little or none of the latter
