West Indies looking to rijig slip cordon ahead of second Test against Australia

The Windies dropped seven catches that proved costly as the hosts fell to a 159-run defeat in the first Test in Barbados to go 1-0 down in the three-match series.

"I think the biggest thing is we shot ourselves in the foot (in Barbados)," he said. "You cannot drop seven catches against the world's No. 1 team and expect to compete.

"We have a lot of blame to take for the defeat, but there were also some positives… for the first two days, we were head and shoulders against the No. 1 team."

Sammy is also expecting the pitch in Grenada to be more batting friendly than the one they encountered at the Kensington Oval.

It had an even covering of dry grass and was given another heavy rolling between the two training sessions.

"We've played more white-ball cricket here," Sammy said. "It's normally a really good cricket wicket. (There's a) much more even cover of dead grass.

"I trust in the groundsmen, with what they're going to prepare. At the end of the day, you could have a grassy top or a flat deck, you have still got to be able to execute. That's what our challenge is about."
