Contending that he always gives 100 per cent when playing for the West Indies, Dillon said in a post-play interview yesterday that it has always been a joy to play for the regional team but the pitches must be improved to assist with the development of fast bowlers.

"The pleasure is there, there is no question about it (but) the tracks can be a lot better," Dillon told reporters after taking four Australian second innings wickets on the third day of the fourth and final Cable and Wireless Test at the Antigua Recreation Ground.

"We've shown that we can bowl well. We haven't bowl as well as we can throughout the series but looking back at the wickets, I think they haven't been helpful at all," Dillon charged.

"It is not an excuse but I think we need to get better wickets if we are going to produce fast bowlers," Dillon opined.

He said his performance was "satisfying" but believes greater satisfaction will depend on "how well we bat tomorrow and hopefully, the day after that."

"I was quite happy with what happened today to get the Australians out on that wicket, I thought was a very good effort," Dillon noted.

Dillon produced a 16-over spell on either side of tea in which he captured four wickets for 57 runs to check Australia's advance following an opening partnership of 242 between century-makers Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer.

"When I looked back, Courtney Walsh is somebody I've always patterned my career off. These are the type of things I always like and saw him do time and time out," said Dillon, who had to shoulder the bowling responsibility in the absence of injured paceman Jermaine Lawson.

"When I spoke to Jermaine this morning, he told me that it was very doubtful that he is going to take part in the game today.

With Jermaine out, I probably had to step up and try to do what I do and what he does. He has always come in and put in a few overs to try and knock them over," Dillon remarked.

"The ball was coming out okay and I kept going and I got the wickets," added Dillon while defending his seemingly lethargic bowling at times.

"I wasn't a hundred per cent but this is what it is all about. It is a tough game and I went out there and I tried to give it my best ... The West Indies team hasn't been winning as they did in the 70s and 80s and early 90s and not doing what the guys started," Dillon said.

"I try my best. I know to myself when I come off the field I can say I gave a 100 per cent.

When you don't do well, people are always going to find faults and that's life. I listen and I try to take what I can from it and just try and go out there and give 100 per cent the next time," Dillon said.
