linkSpeaking after day’s play Chanderpaul said he was happy to be back among the runs again.
“I did not get many runs in the first couple of innings so I was very happy to get some today. Nash has been batting well on tour so far and he came in to join me and was going really well. I decided I had to support him and play that kind of role. I knew I could not play ‘freely’,” said Chanderpaul.
“The aim was to help build a good score and keep the innings going. I summed up the situation and realised I needed to stay there and try to build a big total. It was not easy batting out there but I just wanted to stay as long as possible for the team,” Chanderpaul said.
“Right now we have clear team plans and goals as a team. We keep working towards them. The coach has come to the team and has brought a new kind of enthusiasm. It will take some time, nothing happens overnight, but we know what we want to achieve and how we plan to get there,” Chanderpaul said.
“We have worked hard so far and we believe we can get something out of this series... two days gone so far in this match, and what we have to do is bat as long as we can, put as many as we can on the board and have a go at them after that.”
