The second ODI bowls off at 9 p.m. in Napier a must-win clash for the regional side after going down 1–0 in the opening match.  Fast bowler Jayden Seales spoke ahead of the decisive encounter… noting that despite the setback, the West Indies are trending in the right direction.

00:00The series changes venue once more as it moves up from the south west coast of the island

00:05to the north west coast of Napier, where the weather should be a bit more pleasant and

00:09less cold as it was in Christchurch.

00:12And regardless how the new surface plays, Jaden Seas wants to see more in-game adjustments.

00:16I assess fast and formulate plans while out there on the field because we obviously have

00:23our own plans going into the game for different batsmen and different bowlers, but on the

00:28day once the pitch is looking a different way or the outfield is big on one side or a strong

00:34win factor like the last match, we have to formulate plans to get them to play to where we want

00:39them to and try and restrict them for as less runs as possible.

00:43The West Indian batsmen have often struggled in the power play and middle overs, but Seas

00:47says that there are some positive signs for the batting and use Schiff in Rutherford as

00:51an example.

00:52Yeah, I think we've been coming together well as a batting group.

00:57There we didn't get the big, big start that we would like in the power play with the T20s

01:02and even yesterday in the first ODI the day before, sorry.

01:07But to see the way the guys hold it together and that they were fighting for the team and

01:12batting balls and trying to get accustomed to the conditions and then Schiff in the way

01:16he fought back from his lean patch there.

01:19I kind of could have seen it coming because throughout the day he was just really quiet,

01:24which is unlike him.

01:26he formulated his plan in the dressing room.

01:29He went out to bat, he could have seen that he was digging and he was trying to get a start

01:33and then he played some shots that made all of us think, yeah, he's somewhat looking like

01:38himself.

01:39In the absence of Alzari and Shema Joseph, Jaden Seals is the leader of the bowling department

01:44and spoke about his relationship with fellow Pacer Matthew Ford.

01:48Yeah, we have a very good partnership.

01:50We started opening bowling together from under 19.

01:53We played all our youth cricket together from under 15 come up and we bounce ideas off each

02:00other.

02:01So he's predominantly an in-swing bowler and predominantly an out-swing bowler and we're

02:05brutally honest with each other as well.

02:07We would tell each other if we're not pulling our weight or if we think the other one is slacking

02:12off and we kind of try and suit each other very well in terms of the lengths that we bowl

02:20or we would have good conversations about what we think works on the pitch or to which particular

02:24batsman and seeing him grow from under 19 to now, he had a couple of injury setbacks and

02:31to see the way he has come back now is really good to see.

02:34I'm proud of him.
