Technology is "not the aid it is claimed to be" in reviewing on-field decisions, the former international umpire Daryl Harper has said.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul seemed to have saved his best for a special occasion as his match saving innings of 116 against India in the third Test turned out to be one of his better efforts taking into consideration the team's situation at that point of time.

India coach Duncan Fletcher has praised the development of the West Indies team under new coach Ottis Gibson.

Creating a professional ethos, improving fitness levels and identifying new talent are the key focus areas for West Indies as they aim to break into the top half of the Test table by 2015, their captain Darren Sammy has said.

Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's decision not to push for victory in the third and final cricket Test against the West Indies has come under flak by former cricketers who said it was "shocking" and unworthy of the number one team.

He slammed a patient 110 off 194 deliveries against India in his debut Test at Roseau, Dominica. His knock helped the West Indies draw the final Test and the 26-year-old Kirk Edwards is grateful for a chat with VVS Laxman for his spirited efforts.

Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni might be content with it but off-spinner Harbhajan Singh finds it incomprehensible that West Indies managed to force a draw in the third and final Test here.

Bishan Singh Bedi says India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's leadership on the final day of the third Test against West Indies in Dominica was unbecoming of a No 1 Test team and World Cup-winning captain.

The decision to play safe and ensure a draw in the final Test against the West Indies was not the first instance of Dhoni adopting a no-risk policy. A closer look at his captaincy in the past shows that the Indian skipper is not just captain-cool but also captain-safe.

Despite a draw in the final Test against the West Indies that sealed India's 1-0 series win at the Caribbeans, the visitors have lost two rating points in the ICC Test Rankings for teams.
