"It was a difficult wicket, with movement and bounce early on. There was a bit of swing for their fast bowlers but I don't think it misbehaved as much as it did in the first 10 overs of the first innings. Our bowlers stuck to their line and lengths. A lot of batsmen got out to short-pitched balls."

"Overall I was very happy with the performance. It is always a difficult target. You don't really know whether you want to go and play your big shots. Our lower middle order has not really been tested. Jadeja will have to step up, because it is a very important slot and if he can contribute more we will be a very solid batting line-up."

"I have no regrets about batting first. I always thought the wicket was going to be a good one. The batsmen did not stick around long enough. We didn't apply ourselves well enough and never caught up in the game."

"My plan was to bat the overs but I thought we needed runs for our net run-rate. Unfortunately I gave away my wicket at the end. I am pleased with my form at the moment but it is a team game. We have been lacking a complete game."

"Dismal performance by West Indies with the bat and at the end in the field. When they got Jadeja out there should have been a lot more energy in the field, but they just didn't attack Ashwin enough. They allowed Dhoni and Ashwin to give India an easy victory."
