The West Indies were denied in their efforts to win the ODI series 3-0 by persistent rain, but they have to be satisfied with the 2-0 series win. At Beausejour, St. Lucia, the Windies were 81/2 in chase of 258 when persistent rain ended the match. The Sri Lankans were held in check by Dwayne Bravo and Chris Gayle and owed their reaching 250 to a good late innings effort by Tilekeratne Dilshan.
Gayle again dropped himself down the order, but Sewnarine Chattergoon made a dashing 46. Chattergoon's form has been encouraging, but Gayle's has been the opposite.
Next month the Australians come calling in the West Indies. For the Windies to have decent chance against the Aussies, we will need Gayle, inspirational captain or not, to be firing at the top of the order.
