England tried their best, fought hard, but failed in the end. They struggled while batting in both innings. Their top-order and middle-order failed to score runs, and had it not been for their lower-order England would have not reached their respectable total of 204 in the first innings. Their bowlers did a fine job at the beginning, but they let West Indies get away at the end, and coming to bowl for the second time, they had very little to fight for. A disappointing tour for them, but still a few positives to take from this tour. Jack Leach ended with 11 wickets in this series, Ben Stokes also displayed his skills in this series. However, before this tour, they made a bold decision of leaving out Stuart Broad and James Anderson, and that might have hurt them in certain areas. Nevertheless, a lot to think about for England.
We witnessed a run-fest in the previous two Test matches, but this time things were different this time. West Indies bowlers were right on cue. They displayed their magic in the first innings by dismissing England for 204 runs and they did the same thing in the third innings as well. They made sure that England do not get away with a healthy lead and they bundles out England for 120 the second time. Kyle Mayers was the leader of the pack he grabbed his maiden five-wicket haul and demolished England's batting line-up. Not to forget about Joshua Da Silva's maiden 100 which helped West Indies get to 297 while batting. All in all, it's been a sensational performance from the hosts and they have come out on top.
West Indies win, and they win in an emphatic style! The Richards-Botham trophy will stay with West Indies. After two hard-fought draws, we finally get a result in this match. West Indies have given a lot to cheer about to their fans at Grenada. While England have now lost yet another Test series. A lot to ponder for them now. The players of West Indies take a lap of honor to acknowledge the fans that have cheered them from the stands.
