Windies v. Poms - Tests.
Da Slva is MOTM for his 100. Kraigg Brathwaite is Player of the Series.
Mahmood tops the English series batting averages with 52 and their bowling averages with 22.83, thereby demonstrating what we have suspected for some time - England have a team full of players who mostly lack the technique of a genuine number 11.
For the WIndies, Da Silva tops the series batting averages with 97.5 and Brathwaite averaged 85.25. Brathwaite topped the runs (for both teams) with 341. He also faced a mammoth 902 balls (Bonner was second for the WIndies, facing 563 balls) - lucky England found a way to bowl one to him that used a snorkel to take him lbw in the first innings of this game or he'd probably still be batting. Root faced 565 for England.
Mayers topped the WIndies bowling averages with his match figures of 7/31 from 27 overs, at an average of 4.42. He and Scott Boland should form their own Test team, so they can bowl a bit more often.
All up, a thoroughly enjoyable series - with an hilarious ending.

Missed the mornings play, lack of sleep had me throwing z's around well before the start.
As you said P4S, a very enjoyable series, always good to see the poms defeated. Waking up with a buldging TAB account is also a great way to start the week
The Windies next assignment is 3 x ODI's in the Netherlands in May/June.
June/July they have a visit from Bangladesh with 2 tests, 3 x ODI's & 3 T 20's.
India also visit (July/August) for 3 x ODI's & 3 T 20's.
August/September they have their CPL comp before touring South Africa, leading into the T 20 World Cup in Australia.
They round out the year with tours of Sri Lanka (2 tests), Australia (2 tests) & New Zealand (3 ODI's).
