FAF AFTER THE MATCH:

"Very disappointing but we can't control the weather. For us it was important on a day like this to start not losing may wickets. It's like Test cricket. But they did well to get two wickets. They (West Indies) done well to get the two wickets. It always bodes well for the teams batting second."
