I thought I played really well, but unfortunately got out at the last stage,&quot; Holder said.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;When I came in, seeing the situation of the game, I knew there was a lot of work to be done.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe West Indies plunged to 144 for seven, 25 minutes before tea, but Holder stroked a top score of 52 from 79 balls in two hours, and included three fours and a six.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHe inspired a stand of 77 for the eighth wicket with Shane Shillingford, 30 not out, which frustrated the Black Caps.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Needed to build a partnership to start and to wear down the New Zealand bowlers as much as possible, frustrate them as much as possible,&quot; said Holder.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I came in with (the last recognised batsman) Darren Bravo there and we tried to build a partnership, unfortunately Darren got out.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHolder had also scored 38 in the first innings, and claimed match figures of 2 for 50 in 20 overs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHe said playing his first Test match has given him the confidence that he could perform at the highest level.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I bring back that belief that I can score runs at this level. For me, it was about making the adjustment from limited-overs cricket to Test cricket,&quot; he said.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I need to leave a lot more balls outside off stump, know where my off stump is, whereas, in the one day game, you tend to like to feel the ball on the bat.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
