That's just about your lot on a historic day for West Indies as they celebrate a first home ODI series win over England since 1998.
"The game looked to be going down to the wire but one expensive over from the previously impressive Gus Atkinson swung the game decisively in West Indies' favour..." is the verdict of my esteemed colleague Sam Drury. Make sure you check out his match report here...
Scroll down to see all of the post-match reaction and interviews. Here's some other cricket stories which might be of interest to you:
We'll be back on Tuesday with live text commentary of the first T20 of a five-match series between these sides as England's preparations for next year's defence of the T20 World Cup begins.
Look forward to seeing you then.
'We need to defend our home turf'

West Indies skipper and player of the series, Shai Hope, said: "We got the win. That's what I wanted to do at the outset. As long as my runs are contributing to wins I'm happy.
"I don't think anything changes with my position in the order. I just stick to the basics. I am trying to score runs to win. I think I have set a decent example. It's great to see other guys chipping in.
"There so much history in cricket it's hard to keep up some times! We need to defend our home turf and hopefully this gives some cheer to the West Indies fans. Now it's onto another series and another challenge in the T20 series. It's always an honour to represent the region."
'We fought really hard but it was not quite enough'

England captain Jos Buttler: "I think we were a few short with the bat. I think that period where we were 40-2 and then 50-5 really set us back.
"A good partnership from Duckett and Livingstone got us up to a score, we fought really hard with the ball but not quite enough."
On rain delays disrupting the innings: "It's challenging but we've got guys who have played a lot of cricket and are used to that. It's something you've got to deal with, those breaks in concentration.
"We know we made a few mistakes with the bat and weren't able to ride that little period and build the partnerships you need to put a big score on the board."
On the bowling: "I thought it was a really good effort from the guys. Picked up that early wicket then I thought the spinners were oustanding, Will Jacks with a brilliant spell that brought us back into the game.
"We could have done with a few more runs at the end given the challenging conditions for the seamers."
On the series: "This is the start of a long journey for this side. There are some young guys who have got their first taste of ODI cricket and have hopefully learned lot and can go on and we can build something for the future."
On the T20 series: "Looking forward to that, looking forward to a change of format. Should be a good series against a really tough side."

Joe Gibney: England’s death bowling remains the worst in the world. As they used to say on Crimewatch: “Goodnight, and please, don’t have nightmares”.
'I am living the dream'
West Indies bowler Matthew Forde, player of the match on debut, said: "There's a lot of work that goes in behind the scenes. Me and the guys have been training hard in a camp before the series. Obviously getting a victory is a dream come true on my debut.
"It was special for me. I am 21 and I am living my dream. I thank all the guys for making it possible. They have welcomed me with open arms and it has been an easy camp so far.
"I missed two games at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, but playing here in front of my mum and dad is heartwarming. The wicket was a bit tacky, it was giving a bit of seam movement, so it was just about getting in that six to eight metre length. It was just line and length. I got some wickets so I am thankful.
"Batting with Romario Shepherd. It was just about me turning over the strike and get him on."

Is Gus Atkinson actually a good bowler, or purely picked because he bowls a bit quicker than other options?
How's stat?!
The last time West Indies won a bilateral ODI series against a Full Member was a 3-0 success against Sri Lanka in March 2021.
West Indies win by four wickets
An attempted slog sweep from Romario Shepherd comes off the bottom edge of his bat and races behind for four.
Matthew Forde jumps in the air in celebration as he runs down from the non-striker's end, before he gives Shepherd a big hug.
West Indies players celebrate. They have won the series 2-1.
WI 187-6
Romario Shepherd and Matthew Forde know West Indies can do it in singles from here. A single followed by a two off Liam LIvingstone.
Then Jos Buttler misses one down leg side and it races away for five wides.
One to win for West Indies

That over just about settles it. England had no room for manoeuvre. Romario Shepherd has smashed it.
WI 179-6
Like a tracer bullet off the bat of Romario Shepherd.
The powerful all-rounder smashes a powerful low drive which shaves the stumps at the non-striker's end before whistling through to the boundary.
Gus Atkinson's over has cost 24. That's probably given West Indies the game. Cruel game, cricket.

England have got previous with Romario Shepherd. We've seen already what he can do in this series, but he also jointly-holds the record for the highest ninth-wicket T20 partnership of Test playing nations. He and Akeal Hosein put on 72 on this ground just last year in a run-chase... in which West Indies fell one run short!
Eng 172-6
Target 188 (DLS)
Bit of a nightmare over for Gus Atkinson.
His fourth slips down leg side to Matthew Forde, and he gets enough bat on it to see the ball race away for four through fine leg.
WI 167-6
Nothing fortuitous about this one. Romario Shepherd picks up another full toss and this time biffs it over mid-wicket and the ball rebounds back off the roof of the granstand.
WI 161-6
Gus Atkinson, number two all over on top and a neatly groomed beard, into the attack but he delivers a high full toss first up.
Romario Shepherd does not quite time it but it drops just on the boundary rope where Liam Livingstone gets caught into two minds and ends up diving forwards from behind the rope but missing it.
WI 155-6
Target 188 (DLS)
Baggy shirts in those day. None of his tight-fitting nonsense. Mind you the physiques of cricketers have changed a lot since 1998.
Will Jacks continues to chip away. Matthew Forde goes for an expansive drive to the penultimate delivery of the over but is unable to connect. Romario Shepherd comes down the pitch and has a quiet word with his batting partner.
Jacks is bowled out. He finishes with 3-22. Give that man a central contract.
Memory lane

The last time West Indies beat England in a one-day series in the Caribbean was in 1998.
The hosts won a five-match series 4-1, with Brian Lara scoring 299 runs and Phil Simmons topping the wicket-taking charts with nine.
England were captained by Adam Hollioake.
WI 152-6
After a nervy start Matthew Forde has started to look like a well-organised batter, with a good head on his shoulders.
Romario Shepherd, meanwhile, plonks his front foot down the pitch and wallops Rehan Ahmed's fourth ball for six straight down the ground.
Zak Crawley, a tall man, is on the boundary and gets a hand on diving backwards but he can neither claim the catch nor prevent the boundary.

It's been a slow burner, but we're in for a good finish now.

Woof. Big turn from Will Jacks, who gets it to spin through the gate as Romario Shepherd pushes forward. England are applying some pressure with just runs coming off the over.
You can see the tension in the West Indies dressing room.
