Lockie Ferguson | New Zealand
Tough wicket to bat on, nice to bowl on a wicket like that. Sad to be leaving today with such high hopes but that’s the game. There are not many games in T20s where I bowl seam-up all the way through and it was nice to get the win. It’s hard to know what a par total is on these sorts of wickets. We have bowled well and put teams under pressure, going down against Afghanistan and West Indies cost us but that’s sport and we need to get back again. It’s a party always in the Caribbean and nice to have school kids watching on.
