Alick Athanaze Heroics Guide West Indies To South Africa Draw

Alick Athanaze missed out on a maiden Test century but played the key role in ensuring the safety of a draw for the West Indies against South Africa on the final day of the rain-affected first Test of a two-match series at Queen's Park Oval on Sunday. Set the unlikely victory target of 298 after the Proteas declared their second innings at 173 for three just before lunch, Atahanze's determined 92 and a fifth-wicket partnership of 65 with Jason Holder (31 not out) guided the hosts from the discomfort of 127 for four just after tea to 201 for five at the end of play.

South Africa's Keshav Maharaj Restricts West Indies In Rainy Third Day Of Test

After seeing fellow left-arm orthodox spinner Jomel Warrican (4-69) lead the home side's effort in eventually dismissing the visitors on the third morning, Maharaj knew he had the chance to take the fight to the West Indies' top order. And his variations of flight and pace claimed the wickets of Mikyle Louis, debutant Keacy Carty and left-hander Alick Athanaze, among three rain interruptions. "It's really about keeping it simple and being consistent and repetitive in conditions like this... and I like repetitions," said Maharaj at the end of play.
