Greaves confident of WI chances after fightback

West Indies all-rounder Justin Greaves is confident of the West Indies’ chances heading into the third day of the final Test match in New Zealand.
Greaves, who stroked a double century in the opening Test, played a vital role with the ball on day two of this ongoing Test, where he claimed two crucial wickets.
“It was a pretty good day. To come and get eight wickets, it was a good day. With Kemar Roach down, everyone else had to put in an extra shift.”
“We were a bit unfortunate on day one. We went past the bat a few times. We were a bit more consistent, and it’s about being patient and bowling in the right areas,” Greaves said.
“They took a page from New Zealand. It’s a pretty good pitch, and the guys were positive going about their business.”
The all-rounder added, “That’s our team, being resilient. John (Campbell) is doing what he is doing. Hopefully, he can continue from his start. We want to win Test matches. We have been close. It’s about backing it up. We need to be more consistent, and we will get there.”
West Indies openers provided a strong opening stand. According to Greaves, playing each ball on merit is key to success. “One ball at a time. We have been batting well in patches. Once we get a pretty good score, we can stay in the game.”
“It has been difficult as a group regarding winning Test series and Test matches. We can’t bring back the glory days, but we came pretty close in Christchurch,” the Barbadian explained.
West Indies will resume the third day on 110-0, with Brandon King on 55 and John Campbell on 45. Play resumes at 18:00h local time.
