“Obviously, we want to bowl out Bangladesh as quickly as possible. We don’t want them to bat long into tomorrow. If we can, we can get a good lead,” he said while addressing a press conference.
Warrican, who got two Bangladesh wickets -- Imrul Kayes and Mehidy Hasan Miraz - for 62 runs on the first day, observed that the wicket is turning from day-1 and is going to be challenging and it will become more difficult with the passage of time.
According to Warrican, Bangladesh were in the commanding seat from the morning until the tea break and praised Shannon Gabriel as the pacer bowled very well to get four quick wickets.
He, however, acknowledged that the momentum is back in Bangladesh’s hands at the end of the day as the hosts finished well as a team. “Obviously, Bangladesh are in the commanding seat… I think Shannon bowled very well to get those four quick wickets. He brought us back in the game… but unfortunately they finished well as a team and put the momentum back in Bangladesh’s hands.”
“It’s very good for batting but the pitch assisted the spinners. I think the spinners can get something out of it if they bowl in the right areas. Also, the ball is coming on well for the batsmen but the bounce is inconsistent. You have to watch it closely,” the West Indies bowler said.
“I won’t say we were unlucky. I think we create our own luck. As a team, you don’t want to drop catches or get wickets off no-balls. I don’t think it is luck. It comes down to discipline and doing the right things,” he added.
