“I did not lead from the front,” Chase on New Zealand defeat

In six innings during the three-match Test series in New Zealand, West Indies Test captain Roston Chase managed only 42 runs.

According to Chase, he could have contributed more to the team, where the West Indies went down 2-0 to the Blackcaps.”I had a tough series, very below par. I did not lead from the front. In terms of going out there and producing for the team, I thought I let myself down and the team as well. I want to go out there and show that I was not just talking. I had some good balls in this series, but I thought I could have given some more to the team,” Chase said at the post-match.The Test captain, Chase, also credited the New Zealand team for their strategic approach towards a 323-run win in the final Test.”Disappointed in West Indies ‘ efforts. I thought the Kiwis were strategic and had good plans. We really wanted to get a win for the first time. We thought we would have gotten the opportunity to win a game.””We thought it would have spun; we did not expect the wicket to deteriorate like it did, with cracks and uneven bounce. After the first day, we saw a lot of green coming off the wicket,” Chase said.When asked what areas of improvement are immediately needed from the West Indies, Chase highlighted a solid total in the first innings.”I think batting in your first innings is key. Getting that first-innings score around 300 would play a greater part for us to move the game forward. It’s something we ‘re trying to work on.”
“The bowlers gave a good effort and never stopped trying despite a few niggles. Before the series started, the goal was for batsmen to get centuries in each game, so we were pleased to get three centuries in the three-match series,” Chase explained.”We were put on the back foot early, so we had to play for a draw, but the pitch always had a ball with your name.”Double centurion Justin Greaves was the leading run-scorer for West Indies with 283 runs, while Shai Hope scored 255 runs. Brandon King had 185 runs, and Kavem Hodge had 158 runs in two matches. John Campbell scored 135 runs, while Guyanese Tevin Imlach made only 81 runs in six innings.Kemar Roach was the star with the ball for West Indies with 10 wickets, while Jayden Seales and Anderson Phillip had six wickets each.Pic saved as CP
