They piled up 44 runs and made Aussie bowlers toil hard. Finally Doug Bollinger dismissed Kemar. But even that didn't come smoothly. Ponting, a firm critic of Decision Review System, got the series-winning wicket via DRS.
While Australia won the series, it was Chris Gayle who walked away with Man of the Match and Man of the Series awards.
