At the end of the series I'll say that England has been our rabbits in the Caribbean. History went against them time and time again. It's not a btw thing.

Yeah, we lose when we go up to England but down here we rule the English.

In all honesty, the Richards-Botham Trophy should inaugural be ours. We've played some great cricket. Two absolutely flat pitches and then one with spice in the spice Isle.

You can't leave alone a bowler who always brings the ball into the wicket. You can't just pull your bat away and let the ball hit the toe. You cannot play to leg slip and as da Silva said... you can hear it on stump mike, "best f**ing catch that's a great f**ing catch man" you cannot play the way England played. Red ball reset is a great idea but was that the right decision to do it before a Caribbean tour when the history is against England?

No doubt about it, we outplayed England in every match. If they cannot take 20 wickets they won't win a Test. But on the flip side if we as the Windies cannot consistently get ourselves into match winning positions we will fail.

We should give credit to England. They have become really good at getting the best out of the opposing teams' second string bowlers.

See Kyle Mayers and Scott Boland.
