Australia retain Frank Worrell Trophy

Reuters: Australia retained the Frank Worrell Trophy after the second test against West Indies ended in a draw on Thursday.

Any hopes of a decisive result on the fifth day were ruined by a storm that forced an early end to proceedings at Queen’s Park Oval.

The Australians, who won last week’s first test in Barbados in a final day thriller, set West Indies a target of 215 runs from 61 overs to win after declaring their second innings closed at 160 for eight after lunch.

West Indies lost both openers cheaply but recovered to reach 53-2 when play was halted by bad light, then rain.
