Gayle, Samuels slam fifties in draw

Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels, two batsmen who failed in the first innings, found form in the second, hitting half-centuries on the final day of the drawn three-day game in Kolkata. The West Indians finished on 199 for 5 after Uttar Pradesh declared their first innings at 372 for 9.

Good to see, overall, the top order spent some time at the crease.

Would like to see Gayle contribute in tests, been a while tbh. You can't remain the token opener forever because your potential destructive capabilities. You need to at least provide some 50s on the top order.

Anyway, good to see. The A team is meh though. Should be an interesting contest.
