PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, (CMC) — Joint Player-of-the-Series in the just-concluded Test against Pakistan, Justin Greaves has bemoaned the fact that his fitness level didn’t allow him to contribute more to the West Indies’ efforts in the second match.

Greaves, who took a maiden five-wicket haul in the opening Test and was named Player-of-the-Match in the West Indies’ 90-run win, did not bowl a single ball in the second match, which Pakistan won by eight wickets on Wednesday to level the two-match series.

The 32-year-old Barbadian was named Player-of-the-Series along with Pakistan captain Babar Azam, after scoring 111 runs and taking seven wickets.

While Greaves, who was also named Player-of-the-Series in the preceding Test series against Sri Lanka, was happy with his performances, he said he wished he could have done more for his side to help them earn a historic Test series win over Pakistan.

“I was happy that when things got a little bit difficult and things got a bit tricky; I was able to put my hand up in the first game, as well as this game, in terms of batting. We had a tricky little situation and Roston Chase and I put on a pretty good partnership in the first innings, but just unlucky that I was unable to bowl to help the team out.

“I’m probably just a couple days away in terms of getting back to full fitness, but really, really looking back at it now, I just really wished I could have helped the team a little bit more,” Greaves said after the match.

“I think my game is in a really good place at the moment, but I’m never satisfied. I always want to do better, always want to help the team.

“We actually set out to win both series at home, ended up drawing this one, so not a bad international summer for us in terms of Test cricket, but looking back we obviously want to win more Test matches,” he added.
