Over to the one-dayers

Gayle: 'We need to get a jump on the South Africans'

It will still be a long way back though and our batsmen, whenever they embark on the second innings, will face a mammoth assignment

West Indies need to show more fight

There’s a very real possibility of West Indies winning this series with it currently deadlocked at 1-1 and this final battle on the cards

Seeking a historic victorious conclusion

25-Feb-2013•Denesh Ramdin

I strongly believe we can beat South Africa

We will have to fight even harder and give an improved performance with the bat if we are to pull off what would be a magnificent series success

Windies success has series on knife edge

In all the time I’ve been playing cricket – at junior, senior, regional and international level – I’ve never known such a feeling

The thrill of a Test win

'The guys rallied around me superbly'

Chris Gayle

The watchwords for West Indies over the next day or two will be “consistency” and “complacency” – they need a lot of the first and little or none of the latter

Consistency has put Windies in command

None of the Windies batsmen went on to score big runs and that left the bowlers very little to work with

Wanted for Christmas: some big scores!

My right ankle has clearly responded well to treatment and I’m slowly but surely getting back in the mix

Sarwan's early Christmas present

Full speed ahead for the Windies - and for me

'Zimbabwe result the right tonic for South Africa series'

25-Feb-2013•Will Luke

We're showing Zimbabwe what we're made of

Ramnaresh Sarwan

That's more like it

It’s important that we start off on the right foot versus Zimbabwe to get ourselves ready to tackle South Africa in a few weeks

West Indies can do well in Zimbabwe
