Gayle got them off to a fantastic start, he clobbered the bowlers all over the park, the one handed six which he hit over midwicket was a gem.
Once they got the start the batsmen showed amazing character, they played each and every ball on merit, something unheard off in West Indies cricket for the last couple of years.
Lara came in when they were in a spot of bother but he lived up to the challenge, started off watchfully and then opened up once the writing was on the wall, Bravo played the perfect foil to Lara and he along with Wavell Hinds took West Indies to a memorable series win.
India on the other hand never got things going, they have lot of thinking to do and Sunday presents an opportunity to redeem some pride.
Bravo has been awarded the man-of-the-match for his brilliant all-round performance( 3 wickets and a match winning innings of 61).
We will be back on Sunday with all the live action, for the time being though this is Sajan Nair along with Sriram Veera signing off - Good bye and good luck.
