Despite some remarkable cricket being played on the last day of the 3rd test between the Windies and India, we unfortunately have another draw. Set 392 to win, India showed their intentions right from the start with openers Sehwag and Jaffer putting on 109 for the first wicket within 26 overs, before Sehwag was trapped in front by Windies 'Mr. Consistent' Corey Collymore.
Despite losing a wicket, the Indians continued their attempt to salvage the match and almost succeeded due to some determined batting by the top and middle order. All top 4 batsmen averaged in the 60s, however India's late surge came all too late, as they fell 94 runs short of the target.
Earlier, Darren Ganga continued on from his fine efforts in the first innings with an exquisite 66 not out. Batsmen Bravo and Samuels were the only to be dismissed, as the home side declared on 6/172.
