So sweet,'Mediocre' Windies beat England, draw series

A century partnership between Darren Bravo and Jermaine Blackwood led West Indies to a morale-boosting five-wicket victory over England in the third Test at a tense Kensington Oval yesterday as the series ended level at 1-1.
Set a target of 192 to win on the third day, after bowling England out for 123, the home side knocked off the total thanks mainly to a 108-run fifth-wicket partnership between Bravo (82) and Blackwood (47 not out).
It was a disciplined and confident performance from a West Indies team that looks to have improved in several areas already in their first series under new coach Phil Simmons.
“It was a tricky one but it turned out well for us,” said West Indies skipper Denesh Ramdin after the match.
“Young Bravo and Blackwood came up for us today,” he added.
