ST JOHN’S, May 13: West Indies Ramnaresh Sarwan, who hauled his team back into the final Test against Australia on Monday as they fight to prevent an unprecedented whitewash at home, said he rated his effort the best in his Test career.

“One hundred and five against Australia is very special to me,” said Sarwan.

“It’s the best I’ve batted in Test cricket.”

Sarwan, who has only previously made one Test century, admitted he was frustrated at the manner of his dismissal as he miscued an attempted and sent the ball looping into the hands of bowler Brett Lee, who took an easy catch.

“I got out pulling but it’s not something I want to give up on. It’s given me a lot of runs and I’ve just going to have to be more selective,” he said.

“I didn’t execute the shot properly and I was disappointed, having got that far again.”

Sarwan was impressed with 20-year-old off-spinner Omari Banks.

“I think Omari has given us positive vibes, it’s good to see a young player come into the team and bat so positively, that is something that has been lacking in the batting department,” he said.

“We need to be tougher and play more positive cricket and believe in ourselves.”—Reuters
