AUS v WI, 3rd Test, Barbados: Australia claims series win (2:0)
16 June, 2008
Australia beat West Indies by 87 runs on the final day Monday of the third cricket Test at Kensington Oval and won the series 2-0.
West Indies, chasing an improbable 475 to win, was all out for 387 after lunch in a bold attempt at victory. Australia scored 216 and 439 for five declared, and West Indies made 216 in its first innings.
The world record victory target looked possible when Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Dwayne Bravo resumed the innings Monday at 235 for three, but after they hit half centuries, both were removed within three balls of each other in the morning, and West Indies' hopes faded. Chanderpaul made 50 and was named man of the series. He notched 8,000 runs when he reached 49, the fourth West Indian to the mark after Brian Lara (11,953), Sir Vivian Richards (8,540) and Sir Garfield Sobers (8,032).
Australia's Simon Katich, with a career-best 157 in the second innings, was named man of the match. Australia won the first Test in Jamaica by 95 runs, and West Indies fought back to draw the second in Antigua. The teams play a Twenty20 match at Kensington Oval on Friday and begin a five-match one-day series June 24.
