Battling Draw
Garth Wattley in St John’s
For the first time in 25 games, there was no winner when West Indies met Australia in a Test match.
But Ramnaresh Sarwan may argue otherwise. For a side that had lost 21 of the previous 24 of those contests, yesterday’s draw he and Shivnarine Chanderpaul earned for the Windies at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium yesterday, was as good as victory itself.
The Frank Worrell trophy will remain with Australia who lead 1-0 in the three-match series. But the home side kept their hopes alive of sharing the honours with them.
