Quotes
Jacob Duffy
New Zealand cricketer
“I guess to lose (Tickner) like that . . . he bowled great in the first innings and I thought the way the guys bowled today was awesome. I thought it was a great team performance and we got the job done. Day three, how good?”

Roston Chase
West Indies cricket captain
“I think the batting is a bit of a concern, coming from the first Test, having a beautiful second innings. Our batters never capitalized on the conditions. I thought we got some starts in the first innings but no one really went big and in the second innings no one got a start.”
