“I
just
think,
we
needed
to
score
a
bit
more,
maybe
240-250
would
have
been
a
more
challenging
total
on
that
wicket,
but
it
is
the
first
game
out
(here)
and
we
have
two
more
games
left
in
the
series,”
Joseph
said
at
the
post-match
press
conference.

“So,
we
will
just
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
and
you
know
put
our
plans
in
(place).”

According
to
Joseph,
it
was
a
difficult
wicket
to
bowl
for
a
pacer.
“It
was
pretty
difficult,
it
was
a
pretty
slow
wicket,
spin-friendly,
so
it
wasn’t
really
of
much
help
for
me,
but
I
just
tried
to
put
in
my
efforts
and
put
my
best
foot
forward
for
the
team,”
said
the
speedster,
who
returned
with
figures
of
2/45.

Joseph
also
said
that
West
Indies
had
specific
plans
for
specific
batters.
“We
had
our
team
meetings
and
we
had
specific
plans
for
specific
batters,
so
we
were
just
bowling
according
to
the
plan,”
he
said,
adding
that
batters
should
try
to
spend
more
time
at
the
crease
to
build
partnerships.
