West Indies 590 & 134
India 482 & 242/9 (64.0 ov)
Match drawn

Huh?? Scores tied at the end of the test match but IND aren't all out. Draw/tie?? It's called a draw but i say it's a tie.

Last ball

FH Edwards to Ashwin, 1 run, OUT, 141.8 kph, West Indies salvage a draw here. Fletcher might as well say, "We flippin' murdered them.". A length ball, pushes his weight back and smashes this down to long-on. It's as if he has made his mind up there is no second available. Slow to start, slow to turn around. He goes for the second only when Aaron pushes him. Run out by a mile. Did Ashwin miss a trick in the final moment?
R Ashwin run out 14 (27b 0x4 0x6) SR: 51.85

It's because IND lost 19 wickets and WI lost 20. That means it's not a tie even tho they got the same amount of runs.

Yeah, i see where you come from, but both teams got the same score at the end of the 5 days. And in OneDay games you don't need to both lose the same amount of wickets for it to be a tie.

That doesn't matter though, but WI were cruising coming in to the final day, and they crumbled and almost lost it.

It was only the second time in history that there's been a draw with both sides on the same score.

In ODIs the 70's and 80's If the 1st team got 150 and the 2nd team got 150 the 2nd team actually lost. Suprising. :o

Ashwin to Simmons, OUT, and Rahul Sharma makes his first contribution. But Powell has run himself out here
