West Indies win by 4 wickets and win the series 4-1. The players shake hands, everybody in the dressing room are very happy. Here comes Gayle and his teammates out to shake hands with the Zimbabwe players. Good knock from Gayle for his 63 from 41 deliveries, the middle order as always collapsed, and then they needed Pollard, who with some lusty hitting settled it for West Indies.
Utseya: "Not enough runs on the board, we let ourselves down with the batting. We need to work on our batting."
Gayle the Man-of-the-Match and the Man-of-the-Series: "I must thank God first, the West Indian team management was wonderful, thanks to Zimbabwe for a good fighting series. Yes our middle order needs some attention and they need to work hard."
Thank you for all the emails, it has been a pleasure reading through them. On behalf of Raghav, this is Binoy George signing off.
Mark Kidger: "Pollard settles the nerves and we are back in mismatch mode. It's a measure of how low expectations have grown in the Caribbean that they are dancing in the aisles for a win over Zimbabwe. There is plenty of talent there, but the discipline to make the most of it still seems lacking."
Maruma is back.
