Transcript
00:00St Kitts and Nevis Patriots won their opener against Antigua and Barbuda Falcons but then
00:05went under to TKR and St Lucia Kings.
00:08They next meet defending champions Guyana Amazon Warriors and Patriots skipper Andre
00:12Fletcher says the players are keen on bouncing back.
00:15You know we don't want to ponder too much on the losses, the two losses.
00:21We had some positives especially where the batting is concerned and as the coach mentioned
00:28it's evident it's our fielding that has been putting us under some pressure so it's just
00:35for us to regroup.
00:37As I said to the guys we have to look at ourselves in the mirror.
00:40As a captain Fletcher knows there are high expectations from the supporters at all times.
00:45As such he has to find ways to be in a good space when leading his troops out in the middle.
00:50Naturally I'm the type of individual who entertains the guys, I give them jokes just to have fun.
01:02As a leader I try not to be under pressure.
01:07Yes I know a lot will be going wrong especially when you lose a game.
01:11First game we win, spectators, fans will be like good leader, great leader, two games
01:17lost you're the worst and it's expected because you know they always want to win.
01:23Being part of the Patriots is nothing new to coach Malolan Rangarajan who experienced
01:28winning the tournament and also coming last with the franchise.
01:32For now though the man from Chennai is focusing solely on the Guyana clash.
01:36The way I see it and I think that is very important we need to be very pragmatic and
01:42practical about this one game.
01:44We're playing Guyana tomorrow, how are we going to beat Guyana?
01:49What are their strengths, what are our strengths, what are their weaknesses, how can we exploit
01:52their weaknesses?
01:53We can worry about the next game after that.
01:56The encounter between the Patriots and Amazon Warriors is on Wednesday from 7pm with Warner
02:01Park being the venue.
