Gayle lauds ‘team effort’
West Indies captain Chris Gayle has described the series-winning display in the fourth ODI in Kingstown as a “team effort”, but also called for improvement after the hosts struggled in their chase of 142. Dwayne Bravo, the Man of the Match, grabbed four wickets, and Narsingh Deonarine guided his team, with a bit of luck, to the finish to seal West Indies’ first ODI series win since August 2008.
“I am happy with the result because we have won the series, and have not won a series for a long time,” Gayle said. “We will take this victory and this series win with both hands because it has been a team effort – everyone has played some part.”
