Despite positive intent from both West Indies and Australia to force a win, persistent rain dented these ambitions on the final day of the second Digicel Test at the Queen’s Park Oval, Trinidad, yesterday.
Needing 215 to win their first live rubber test match in a series against Australia since Brian Lara’s 213 led the West Indies to a 10-wicket triumph in 1999 at Kingston, Jamaica, the home side aided by a cameo from captain Darren Sammy of 30 (26 balls, 4×4, 16) finished on 53/2 off 11 overs – before rain brought the contest to a premature draw.
