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.

One Win does not a Summer Make .I am delighted that WE won , but attention must
be paid to the fact that ALL Players on
Teams ranked above our Team play more Cricket , at a higher level than our Players.

I have been stating this in this Forum for
over a freaking Decade , During that time
I have heard nary a word , regarding this fact from all those in the Region who are Sports Journalists .

It is their job to put pressure on those in the governance of Cricket in the Region
to do what needs to be done to make our
Players & Team fully competitive in the International Cricket Arena .

Bangladesh mauling of Pakistan is a serious wake up call . I don;t want to hear any Crap about not having Money . If
the WICB is not up to the job of seeking
Sponsors , then it needs to get the hell out Cricket in the Region .

The truth is that Corporations & Business House more than likely are wary of associating themselves with the WICB because of its recent Reckless behaviour .

In essence the WICB has plunged a knife in
an important artery ,the ability to raise
funds . It apparently believes that its
stupid 50 year deal is salvation .

How comes Simmons get credit after all of two games.

Wouldn't it be that the works of Otis, Ambrose, Stuart Willaims et al, is being inherited by Simmons.

Ah well

Please bear in mind that if in response to what I have stated you revert to using foul
