WEST INDIES fast bowler Corey Collymore credited hard work for his four-wicket haul against Pakistan on yesterday's opening day of the second and final Digicel Test at Sabina Park.
Collymore has so far taken 4-55, his third best Test match figures.
He has career best Test figures of 7-57, which also came at Sabina Park, against Sri Lanka in 2003.
"Night before last night I was talking to my friend Fidel (Edwards) and he reminded me of that (career best at Sabina Park) as well," Collymore told reporters after the game.
The 27-year-old paceman said luck has nothing to do with his good run at Sabina.
"I have been putting in some extra work and it paid off," he admitted.
Collymore added: "I've always enjoyed my game, obviously it's a team sport, not a one man sport."
He said the pitch was good but their bowling could've been better.
"It was a good wicket for batting. I don't think we bowled well in partnerships well enough and that contributed to Pakistan getting a good total on the first day."
BIG EFFORT
Looking towards today's play, the Barbadian pacer said: "I guess tomorrow (today) we are going to come out and put in a big effort again, try to dislodge the Pakistanis as soon as possible.
"Coming from Barbados, we don't think about drawing cricket, we're still looking to win this game," he added while icing his shoulder.
Asked about it, he said: "It's (shoulder) hurting a little bit but I consider myself a tough character so I'll just stay out there and get on with the job."
Commenting on centurion Younis Khan, the medium pacer said: "He is a very good player, he is world rated, but when I am playing cricket I don't look at world rated players, I just bowl at anyone and try to get anyone out."
