India clinched a fifth consecutive series triumph in the West Indies Monday when the second and final Test of their series ended as a draw with no play possible because of rain on the final day. The West Indies closed day four at 76 for two having been set a daunting victory target of 365 to square the series at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad. Mohammed Siraj, whose Test-best figure of five for 60 in the West Indies first innings opened the door to victory for India on the fourth morning, was named "Player of the Match". It's great to see how everyone has been ready to play their role, like yesterday when we needed quick runs." For Kraigg Brathwaite, the captain of a West Indies team that last defeated India in a Test match in May 2002, it was yet another case of fishing for positives in a sea of setbacks.
