‘We’re on top right now’

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (CMC): WEST INDIES Test captain, Roston Chase, is of the view that his side was heading into the second Test against New Zealand, which began last night after press time, ‘on top” after their heroics in last week’s drawn opening Test at Christchurch. Given 531 to win, the West Indies batted almost two days in one of the best displays in Test history, to reach 457 for six, the highest total in the fourth innings of a Test match in 84 years. Chase said that performance had given the regional team a major boost.
