00:01Having conceded 400 runs in the opening ODI, the West Indies lost to England by 238 runs in Birmingham.
00:07It means Game 2 on Sunday in Cardiff is a do or die for the Caribbean side.
00:12Pacer Jaden Seal says the players had a few honest and open discussions on where they went wrong as a bowling group.
00:18We obviously realised early enough that the ball wasn't swinging much in the first game and we still went searching a bit.
00:24Myself was very guilty of that. So that's one thing that we're looking to improve on and just try to contain as much as possible, have the right field set and try and force the bassmen to hit where we have the deep fielders.
00:40Seals has faith in the West Indies' battles despite being shot out for 162.
00:45When looking back at the Ireland tour, the Windies made in excess of 350 in the last two ODIs recently.
00:52As you said, the bassmen have been really good for us, giving us the big scores, allowing us to be free when we go into bowl to defend our totals.
01:00So I think it's just more of the same. We had a bad game batting second in that first ODI.
01:05I'm not really concerned about it because we all know where we went wrong individually and collectively as a group.
01:11World Cup qualification is at stake with the Windies missing out for the first time in 2023.
01:16Seals and company don't want to go through that again and hope to be on the African continent in two years' time.
01:23Yeah, of course, we knew coming into this series that we needed to win if we wanted to jump ahead of England.
01:28Unfortunately that we had a drawn series against Ireland, it would have been fantastic if we had won that series 1-0 or 2-0, albeit the rain hampered the second match.
01:37So it's just for us to try and win this series now and gain as much points as possible leading up to the 20-27 cricket World Cup.
01:45Seals took four wickets in the opening ODI to take his tally to 20, but he conceded 84 runs from nine overs.
