Carlos Brathwaite irked by 'disrespectful' England following drawn Antigua Test

West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite says it was disrespectful of England and skipper Joe Root to have waited until the last over to concede the draw in the first Test in Antigua. 

Chasing 286, West Indies lost a flurry of wickets and were tottering at 67 for 4 before Nkrumah Bonner (38* off 138) and Jason Holder (37* off 101) came together. The duo put on 80 off the last 35 overs to deny England a victory.

With two set batters at the crease and the wicket not offering anything, England seemed in no mood to call it a day, which is something that irked Brathwaite.

"If I were a senior player in the West Indies dressing room, I would have found it a bit disrespectful that in the last hour, with two set batsmen playing as they were and the pitch offering nothing, England still felt they could get six wickets, going all the way down to five balls left," Brathwaite said on BT Sport.

"Would England have done that if it were an Ashes Test? Would they have done that against India, New Zealand, Pakistan? I think the answer is no, so why have they done it against us?

"If West Indies need any sort of steely determination added, I think that passage of play should have given them that. They should be thinking 'we have two Tests now to prove we are better than England think we are'."

The second Test between the two sides begins at Bridgetown on March 16.
