West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales said he tried to outsmart the batters as he finished the second day of the second Test against Bangladesh with astonishing figures in Jamaica.
Seales returned figures of 15.5-10-5-4 as the West Indies bowled out Bangladesh for 164 on the second day of the Test at Sabina Park. Seales's was the most economical figures in Test cricket since 1977 (minimum 60 balls).
"I tend to use my skills a lot here, I would say. And try to set up the batters, make them feel I will bowl my stock delivery when I'm not going to bowl it," Seales said after the day's play.
"I tried to bowl in good areas and tried to build pressure for the other bowlers so that they could express themselves and do their job as well. And it paid off in the end today. I'm very pleased [with the performance]," he said.
"The pitches are slow, but as I've always said, I love playing in Jamaica mainly because there's a lot for the bowlers throughout the entire day. And today it showed. It was good for us the entire day today," he added.
"I guess I tend to find good rhythm [here in Jamaica]. I just enjoy playing here because the crowd actually comes out, which is surprising in Caribbean cricket. Having the little crowd pushing us gives us energy. But, nah, apart from the wicket, I don't know [what's special about Jamaica]; it just tends to happen," he said.
Seales also said he believes the batting unit will do the job to push the team towards victory after West Indies ended the day on 70 for 1 when bad light forced an early close for the second successive day.
"I have no doubt the batters will get the job done. They are in good touch, each and every one of them. I believe that they will put their hands up and get us the lead that we so desire," he said.
