Chris Gayle believes West Indies’ victory in the five-Test series against England was the culmination of a determined effort from his side to lift their standard of play. West Indies held on grimly for a draw in the fifth and final Test Tuesday at the Queen’s Park Oval to win their first Test series over England in 11 years 1-0, following an innings and 23-run victory in the opening Test at Sabina Park in Jamaica, where they bowled England out for their third-lowest total in Tests of 51. “It has been really, really good, and the guys have put in the hard work, so it has paid off for them out there. I am happy and overjoyed,” Gayle said after Tuesday’s tense victory. West Indies were set 240 for victory from a minimum of 66 overs, after England, leading by two runs on first innings, declared their second innings on 237 for six during the lunch interval on the last day. As usual, West Indies sent their fans into a state of panic with the kind of slipshod batting that had typified them in previous series before they settled down to finish on 114 for eight in their second innings when time expired
