5 days not enough for Australia Vs West Indies.

Inspite of the efforts from Dwyane Bravo with a neat 104 in the first innings and then picking 3 wickets in the second innings, West Indies conceded a draw to the Australians here at the Oval, Adelaide.

Score:
West Indies-451 & 317
Australia - 439 & 212/5

Doug Bollinger finished with 3 for 50 and Mitchell Johnson collected 5 for 103 - his fourth five-wicket haul in Tests - as Gayle lost his Nos. 10 and 11, Rampaul and Roach. Having never been in control of the match at the Gabba, West Indies enjoyed every minute in which they were the front-runners in Adelaide.

The Frank Worrell Trophy will remain in Australia but West Indies can still draw the series with victory in the third Test. And here's a thought to keep Caribbean fans interested: the final match is at the WACA in Perth. Australia have lost their past two Tests there. Chris Gayle was adjudged Man Of the Match.
