Hi everyone,

We’re all very disappointed we lost the Test but looking back we can see where we went wrong. We let ourselves down in the fielding – we weren’t the best here at all – and we struggled with batting. All in all, the Test didn’t go as well as we wanted it to go and there are important lessons we must take from it in order to move on and put this experience behind us.

The team is obviously very disappointed and we will discuss it all when we all get back together as a group. A few more players are coming in today to join the team for the ODIs, so - once they arrive and get settled - we will regroup and make plans for the next stage of the series. We need to make the necessary adjustments to allow the new guys to fit in and get acclimatized as quickly as possible.

I’m looking forward to the ODIs starting on Thursday. It’s important that we get some momentum going starting with the very first match, and fix the things that went wrong during the Test Series. We must put our best foot forward as I believe we have a good chance of beating England in the ODIs, we just need to get the basics right.

Stay tuned for more of the Digicel Player Diaries throughout the series in England.
