Jason Holder believes West Indies hold a psychological edge heading into the second Test against England after fighting out a draw on Friday.
Holder was the hero as his unbeaten 103 helped the hosts in Antigua secure a draw in the first Test, finishing the fifth day at 350-7.
England had looked likely to open the three-Test series with a win, but they were unable to take 10 second-innings wickets.
Holder said the draw was a huge result for his team after they found themselves 104 runs behind following the first innings.
"It means a lot to the team," the first-time Test centurion told the West Indies Cricket Board.
"Obviously, psychologically, going into this next game 0-0 is a very, very good achievement based on the fact our backs were against the wall in this game.
"We'd be a lot worse off if we were 1-0 down heading to Grenada. It does a lot for the confidence of the team.
"We just keep pushing the word belief and hopefully the guys can instill some more belief within themselves and we can push forward to win this series."
Holder came to the crease with West Indies in some trouble at 189-6 in the 80th over, with the best part of 50 still to bat.
The 23-year-old said his focus was simply on building with Denesh Ramdin, and the duo combined for a 105-run stand.
"It was important that we got a partnership. My main thing was just to bat, spend time at the crease and I think it would become easier," Holder said.
"Obviously the English bowlers had a tough workload in the first innings so my aim was just to wear them down as much as possible."
