It's a situation where we still have to sit and talk. It's not just my decision but I am very much interested in playing in the World Cup.
Daniel is unlucky to miss out in this game but after tomorrow there are still two further training sessions before the first ODI at the Telstra Dome on Wednesday. ... We are very pleased to have nominated Brian Lara as our vice-captain. He has tremendous experience and will be able to provide invaluable support to our captain Shaun Pollock.
This is going to be my last time in New Zealand and I want it to be peaceful, but I wish the media had a little bit more respect for West Indies cricket.
The good thing is that a lot of the inexperienced players did really well, Devon Smith and Ryan Hinds with the bat and Tino Best and Fidel Edwards with the ball.
The main thing is if we can rotate a bit and not necessarily before a series is decided. If we play against India and we happened to be three up, you are going to see a chance where guys are given a rest.
