We certainly won’t get carried away, but that first Test against the West Indies made a pleasant change this winter as we made the running, trying to push for victory.
To be the team chasing the win on the fifth day is a good place to be and we haven’t been there for a while, so we will definitely be taking that as a positive and try to build on it this week.
The pitch probably had the greatest say in the eventual draw, but both teams competed hard and refused to give an inch, which is how Test cricket should be. You have to earn your wins and that is what we tried to do.
