Pakistan tour of West Indies, 2nd ODI: West Indies v Pakistan at Basseterre, May 20-24, 2011
"Long before the Pakistanis arrived we spoke about the belief in the team that we could win the series. We want to win in St Kitts and take the series. Before Sunday's result it was more than two years since we won a Test match and a series. You will have to go back a long time since the West Indies last won back-to-back Test matches.
"The contribution of the whole team, was great. Everybody worked hard and we all stuck together. We won the first match so that means we can't lose the series, but we don't want to stop there. Winning the series is the goal. It has always been the goal."
Gibson's next target is to try and back up the victory with another strong performance in the second Test in St Kitts which starts on Friday. He admitted that will be difficult, especially for a side that has struggled desperately for consistency, but hopes they can take confidence from the showing in Guyana.
