Windies batting first
KINGSTON (Jamaica), May 18: Indian captain Saurav Ganguly won the toss and elected to bowl first on a well-grassed track in the deciding fifth Test against West Indies at Sabina Park Saturday.
India made one change, bringing in off-spinner Harbhajan Singh for injured leg-break bowler Anil Kumble, who flew home for surgery after suffering a broken jaw during the drawn fourth Test in Antigua.
West Indies, playing with the four-pronged pace attack of Merv Dillon, Cameron Cuffy, Pedro Collins and Adam Sanford, kept an unchanged team.
Teams:
West Indies: Carl Hooper (captain), Chris Gayle, Wavell Hinds, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Brian Lara, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ridley Jacobs (wicketkeeper), Mervyn Dillon, Adam Sanford, Pedro Collins, Cameron Cuffy.
India: Saurav Ganguly (captain), Shiv Sundar Das, Wasim Jaffer, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Vangipurappu Laxman, Ajay Ratra (wicketkeeper), Zaheer Khan, Javagal Srinath, Harbhajan Singh, Ashish Nehra.
Umpires: Russell Tiffin (Zimbabwe) and David Shepherd (England)
Match referee: Ranjan Madugalle (Sri Lanka).—Reuters
