Fidel Edwards shows his frustrations on the final day in Durham

After the seven-wicket defeat in the fourth and final Test, Ganga said: "There was a lack of the consistency we probably wanted in this series.

"But the guys have enthusiasm to do well in the one-day series."

Man of the series Shiv Chanderpaul added: "We've got some new guys, fresh legs and guys ready to work."

Chanderpaul's peerless batting during the Tests, in which he hit 466 runs at a phenomenal average of 148.66, was a counterpoint to some fairly abject performances from his team-mates.

But Ganga, who hands the captain's armband to Chris Gayle for the one-dayers - and plays no part in the series - said: "The effort from these guys is tremendous.

"But I think we didn't have the consistency in all the departments of our game to string together a win.

"Winning is a habit and if you get into a rut, it's very difficult to come out of it. We've got to keep plugging away."

Chanderpaul said lateral movement had deceived the West Indies batsmen in Durham.

"The guys tried hard. It wasn't easy out there, the ball was swinging a lot," he said.

"It was hard work but we will pick ourselves up and come back fighting."

And the reason for his outstanding personal success? "It's down to hard work and all those net sessions, every opportunity to go and do a lot of extra batting. I guess it's practice."
