After England went down with a five wicket defeat against West Indies in the second Test at Headingley, captain Joe Root defended his side saying that they were not complacent at any point in the game.
“If we were right on it and took all of our chances it might have been slightly different. It was spinning. It was the fifth day. We are a positive side who want to win Test matches – unfortunately we weren’t able to do that.”
“At no point were we complacent” said English captain.
This is Root’s second defeat as England captain but Bayliss said that the loss keeps them focused. “It keeps us focused,” Bayliss said.
“After the last few Tests people have been saying we were in a good place for Ashes, well we have lost this one and it will keep the guys grounded” he concluded.
