West Indies coach John Dyson is confident of his team putting up a good show against Bangladesh in the ODI series.

The hosts lost both Tests against the visiting Tigers.

The Windies take on Bangladesh in the first ODI at Windsor Park in Roseau, Dominica tomorrow, still missing a host of first-team regulars.

The contractual dispute between the West Indies Cricket Board and the West Indies Players Association has been brought to an end following the appointment of an independent mediator, but it has come too late to affect Dyson's squad for the first two one-dayers at least.

The second-string side, led by veteran batsman Floyd Reifer, came up short in the five-day format but Dyson does not believe the matches were one-sided affairs.

"This is a totally different game now. We're playing 50-over cricket, not five day cricket," the coach told www.digicelcricket.com.

"The matches were closely fought, it wasn't a case where we were thrashed in either of the matches, we could have won both so I don't think there's much in it.

"For guys who had little experience in international cricket to come forward like that and play as well as they did, I think they did pretty well. They've played some good cricket so far, unfortunately we weren't able to get across the line and win the two Test matches but they were very closely fought."

Fast bowler Gavin Tonge, wicketkeeper Devon Thomas and opening batsman Kieran Powell have been called up for the first two ODIs.

"It is good to have some new faces in the team as well as some players with experience at the international level," Dyson added.

"We saw in the Test series that players took their opportunities with both hands. The one-dayers will be another chance for the guys to show what they are worth."

The second ODI will also be played at Windsor Park on Tuesday, but there is a possibility that the likes of captain Chris Gayle, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan will return to the fold for the final match of the series at Warner Park in St Kitts on Friday.

Bangladesh will be without captain Mashrafe Mortaza for the series because of a knee injury. The paceman returned home at the end of the second Test along with Shahadat Hossain, left-arm spinner Enamul Haq and wicketkeeper Sahagir Hossain.

Dyson is hoping for a pitch of pace and bounce in Dominica but Shahadat predicts Bangladesh's spinners will have a big say in the outcome of the series.

"The pitches are slow in the Caribbean and we have Shakib (Al Hasan) who is super and then (Abdur) Razzak, Riyad (Mahmudullah) and Naeem (Islam). I expect the spinners to do well in the ODIs," he told www.tigercricket.com.
