For some, it is about the one that got away. For Stuart Williams, it is about the one moment that did: Marlon Samuels' dismissal.
"We were building nicely. It was just an awful shot," Williams said.
After declaring himself a cannibal, in spin terms at least, Samuels got hold of Simon Harmer and was playing him comfortably, even with the shot that led to his downfall. He responded to a brief period of being tied down by launching Harmer down the ground but forgot that there was a long-on with legs chasing after it. Dean Elgar is one of the quicker men on the outfield and made good ground to take the catch almost straight down the wicket.
That was the catalyst for another collapse - this time seven for 33 - which saw West Indies tumble from a fighting position to a flagging one. "I think we just missed the moment. That's the moment in the game where everything fell away," Williams said. "This is international cricket and we just have to seize the moment. You have to respect your opposition at all times and we didn't do that."
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Williams should know.
In 31 tests he averaged 24.14.
