West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite wants to fight hard again against Bangladesh in the second Test in Dhaka.
West Indies are not depleted: Brathwaite
The Caribbeans are leading the two-match series 1-0 after completing a record 395 chase on the fifth day in Chattogram. West Indies would like to start afresh and put up a good first innings total on a Mirpur pitch that is expected to favour spinners more. "We got a nice win but we have to start over fresh. We have to buckle down, and can’t be complacent. We have to fight hard again," Brathwaite said. "The pitch is quite similar to the first Test in terms of dryness. There are some cracks as well, so I think it will be quite similar. It will probably be slower even than the first Test. "We can improve on our first innings score to help us set the game up better. We did well in the second innings. We have to be a little sharper in the field in periods when there’s probably been a partnership. We can be a little tighter. I think the first game was decent." The heroics of
and Nkrumah Bonner, the two debutants, helped in pulling off a miracle. This wad a team that missed regular skipper
,
, Shimron Hetmyer and
. However, the stand-in captain Brathwaite claims his side is not 'depleted' and expects his men to deliver more in the second Test after. "I want to say this is not a depleted squad. I firmly believe everyone here is capable of doing the job at the international level. There’s no added pressure on me. My role as an opening batsman is to build the foundation for the team," Brathwaite added. "We as a team don’t want to get too far ahead. We have five days of Test cricket to play. We are very happy to have won the first Test. We want to buckle down. Victory has meant a lot for us. The guys are very proud of winning the first Test but we look forward to the next five days. "The biggest thing is not to get carried away. We are happy with the win but we know we start from zero. It is one of the things that the coach has stressed in the practice sessions. Guys are working hard. For me to them is to stay discipline and stick to your plans both as a bowling and a batting unit."
