Coach Darren Sammy was left scratching his head after the 2-1 defeat to Bangladesh in the One Day Series. He struggled to find the positives from the match.

00:00Back to the drawing board for the West Indies after the 2-1 defeat of Bangladesh and the 1-day Internationals.
00:06However, were there positives?
00:09Positives? Probably the batting of Sheho, how he continues to put this team on his back.
00:18Every time a challenge is faced, he as a leader puts the team on his back.
00:26I mean, I'm really disappointed in the way we've bowled.
00:31He indicated they were poor in all departments.
00:34We were poor in all three disciplines.
00:36You know, I think we dropped, I think I counted five, six.
00:41Six of them and one didn't go to hand because one was too wide early up in Sumoye's inning.
00:48But yeah, we were poor in all departments today.
00:52Sami believes it's a mindset thing.
00:54He says they didn't play like a team fighting for automatic qualification for the World Cup.
00:59I think it's a mindset.
01:02You know, for us, when we explain in dressing room what this game means,
01:07you know, we're looking for automatic qualification.
01:10We got two teams fighting for the last spot before the cutoff period.
01:15And then you have a series decider on the line.
01:20Your mindset must be, I'm the one to do that.
01:24You saw the mindset of the batters.
01:26They were like, you know what, I'm going to be brave on that wicket.
01:29I'm going to set the tone.
01:31And the score didn't reflect what the wicket is.
01:35Now he's turning his attention to the T20 series.
01:38Well, from my experience, that's supposed to be the best wicket in Bangladesh.
01:46But I've not seen it.
01:48So we travel tomorrow and hopefully when we practice,
01:53I get to have a look at the surface and see if I could compare what Dhaka was to Chiragong.
02:01Surgill for TV's Expo.
