“It’s pretty good. We felt that it was a generous declaration this afternoon (yesterday) by the Australians,” Logie said in an interview at the end of the day’s play.

“We felt that they were looking for something in excess of 500 (but) our bowlers did a great job this morning (yesterday) to restrict them," Logie noted.

The new West Indies coach said the strategy chasing the 400-plus total was one of patience.

"We felt that we should go out there and take it one ball at a time, one over at a time, one session at a time and at the end of the day, I think we would be in a good position,” Logie said about the approach of the West Indian batsmen.

“It is unfortunate we lost Wavell (Hinds) this evening but it just shows how disappointed he was, as when I left the dressing room, he was still there with his pads on,” Logie noted.

“I think that is what we are looking to see from most of the other players,” added Logie.

“We want to see them going out there and fighting and giving of their best. That is all we can ask of them,” Logie remarked.

“They have promised that if they can’t win the game, they are certainly going to try and draw it so I think that is the attitude we are going with,” Logie added.

Asked about the inability of the bowlers to dismiss the Australian batsmen twice, Logie said he could only work with the resources at his disposal.

“At this point in time, I can only work with the bowlers that we have,” Logie charged.

“Obviously, in terms of personnel, that is something that the selectors will have to decide if they believe that the personnel we have are not up to the job, but as coach, I believe in the players that I have and we are willing to put in the work. That’s all we can do,” Logie declared.

Logie reckoned that the West Indian bowlers could dismantle the Australian batting line-up.

"I have no doubt that the Australian batting has been strong but I don't think it is a situation where we are overawed by it.

"We believe that if we put the ball in the right places more consistently, we are going to get them out. That's what we have to do," Logie remarked.

But Australia’s opening batsman, Matthew Hayden, who hit a second-innings century to enable Australia to declare just before tea, said the West Indies face a Herculean task to avoid defeat on the last day.

“I think it is going to be an incredible effort from the West Indies to survive tomorrow (today),” Hayden said.
