for seven runs, while new-ball partner
Inshant Sharma finished with 3 for 31
and medium pacer Mohammed Shami
supported with 2 for 13.
Fast bowler Kemar Roach, batting
at number nine, tried to salvage some
pride with a 31-ball 38 but was the
only batsman to pass 20 and one of
only three batsmen to reach double
figures.
West Indies tottering at 50 for 9
and in danger of falling for their lowest
ever score against India, Roach
struck one four and five sixes, inspiring
a 50-run last-wicket stand with
Miguel Cummings (19) to save his
side complete embarrassment.
The defeat for West Indies extended
their wretched run of 22 Tests without
a single win against India and
leaving them in disarray heading into
the final Test this week-end at Sabina
Park, Jamaica.
India, who was set in to bat after
captain Jason Holder won the toss
scored 297 in their first innings and
343 for seven wickets declared.
Anjinka Rahane had earlier laid the
ground work for India when he struck
his 10th Test hundred, 102 off242
balls with five fours.

It is not the ending they had envisaged
but Barbados’ Senior Women’s
Doubles team at the Caribbean Badminton
Confederation International
Tournament were anyhow delighted
with the gold medal earned through
a walkover — especially when it is the
island’s only final win in the category.
The Bajan team of Tamisha Williams
and Monyata Riveira, who days earlier
beat teams from Trinidad and Tobago
and Guyana, had dutifully geared up for
the women’s doubles final at the Caribbean
Badminton Confederation (CAREBACO)
Saturday evening at the Wildey
Gymnasium, Garfield Sobers Sports
Complex, Barbados, only to learn that
one of their Czech Republic opponents
of Tereza Švábíková and Katerina Tomalova
had to urgently fly back home
owing to a family emergency and could
not take the court.
The resulting walkover victory gave
Barbados its only seniors gold medal
to add to the lone one that the juniors
won a week earlier.
Barbados’ Junior Men’s Doubles
team of Kennie King and Dominick
Scantlebury had accounted for the
U-19 gold.
This Tournament, which ended
Sunday, had attracted 70 international
athletes from the Czech Republic, Germany,
Panama, USA, Canada, Italy,
Luxembourg, Wales, Poland, Finland,
Iceland, Slovakia, Suriname, Haiti,
Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico, Jamaica,
England, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana
and Mongolia.
According to organisers, with the
2020 Olympics games less than a year
away many of these badminton athletes
will be using this year’s CAREBACO
Tournament to their advantage
to obtain Olympic qualifying points.
Women’s doubles winners, Tamisha
Williams (L) and Monyata Riveira.
