I thought they (New Zealand) had a solid foundation (224 for 1) to propel themselves to a score of 300 but the (West Indies) slow bowlers played an important part in the game and it is obviously something we'll be taking into our thinking tank, I thought we stuck well in the end after they got off to a good start.
