00:00The West Indies achieved their first test win away to Pakistan in 34 years, this after
00:05coming from behind to win the second and final match in Multan to make it 1-1.
00:09Captain Craig Brathwaite did his part with the second innings of Century as the men in
00:13Maroon eventually won by 120 runs.
00:15We're very proud of how we went about this game, obviously winning the toss was a plus
00:20as well and I think Warrick Khan and Murti in the first innings really set up the game
00:28for us.
00:29So yeah, very proud of this team.
00:31The West Indies had scores of 163 and 244 in the match while Pakistan made 154 and 133.
00:39It therefore meant that the surface provided a lot of challenges.
00:43Both test matches the pitch was tough to bat on and we knew that so as I said they just
00:50wanted us to be brave to do whatever plans we have to go there and execute them as good
00:55as possible because regardless of what there will be a ball with your name on it on this
01:00pitch.
01:01I mean it was a difficult pitch to bat on so it was good to see the confidence we went
01:05about doing it and as I said very proud of this team.
01:08In order to come out on top the West Indies think tank had to plan properly, according
01:12to Brathwaite that included being brave out in the middle.
01:16I mean it was just for the batsmen to be brave, as I said everyone's going to have their plans.
01:23Be brave in whatever you want to do as batsmen and bowling wise bring forward the batsmen
01:28as much as possible and there will be 20 balls that you will get 20 wickets because as I
01:33said the pitch is a difficult pitch so there's no second guessing.
01:37You're going to get out on this pitch regardless of what you do.
01:40So as batters I just wanted the guys to be brave which we did which was good and bowling
01:44wise bring forward the batsmen as much as possible in 90 overs and you'll get 20 wickets
01:49no doubt.
01:50This win for the West Indies cements the point that cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties.
01:55After all the West Indies were 54 for 8 in their first innings and the rest is history.
02:00As such this win means a lot to the captain.
02:02Yeah it's a very important win for us it just shows that we can get it done in any conditions
02:09once we believe and always have a plan but it was good it's right up there with some
02:16amazing test wins because coming here playing here in Pakistan it's never easy to win a
02:21test match so coming out with a win is fantastic you know very very very proud of this team.
02:27This WTC cycle saw the West Indies earning 1-1 draws against Australia, Bangladesh and
02:32Pakistan.
02:33The men in maroon finished 8th while Pakistan ended in 9th position which is the bottom
02:38of the table.
