Kingston (Jamaica), Jun 21 (PTI) West Indian pacer Fidel Edwards, who was instrumental in triggering India''s batting collapse in the ongoing first Test with a four-wicket haul, said he was nervous heading into the match after being out injured for two years.
"It was a good feeling to get back onto the field and do so well, after not playing for so long, so it was a good start for me. It is good to make my comeback in Jamaica, after not playing for so long," Edwards said after West Indies rode on his and spinner Devendra Bishoo''s combined haul of seven wickets to bowl India out for 246 in the first innings here.
"I have not played a lot of cricket leading up to this Test, and bowling first up was a bit harsh, but I got into my groove after that. I was a bit nervous too," he added.
Edwards said his team is now looking to bat once and score in excess of 400 runs to get past India in the opening Test at Sabina Park.
"We would like to get at least 400 runs on this track and try to bat once. The pitch is turning a lot," remarked Edwards, who celebrated his return to West Indian colours with figures of 4 for 56. .
