Australia wrap up the series after a test match thriller at WACA. There was just need of one wicket to finish off the Test and series, Bollinger had Kemar Roach caught behind for 17 to clinch the series. Roach referred umpire Billy Bowden’s decision to the third umpire. Replays and hot spot appeared to indicate Roach did not hit the ball but the original call was upheld.

Gavin Tonge finished unbeaten on 23 while Bollinger returned match figures of 8 for 141 after his five-wicket haul in West Indies’ first innings.

West Indies skipper Chris Gayle was named man-of-the-match for his spectacular 70-ball century late on day two, the fifth fastest ton in Test cricket.

The big-hitting Jamaican was also named man-of-the-series after scoring 346 runs at an average of 69.20, including two hundreds.

Gayle said while the overall result was slightly disappointing he was proud of the way his side continued to battle.

“Hopefully we can continue to go from strength to strength - we have the talent,” he said at the awards ceremony.

“I’m sure in the future we can beat the number four team, even the number one team.

“Next time around we will be back and I’m sure we will put up a better fight.”

Australian pace spearhead Brett Lee on Monday gave a thumbs down to the newly-introduced umpire referral system saying it should not be used for deciding leg-before dismissals and the system, which allows each team three unsuccessful referrals against on-field umpire`s decisions is on trial in the ongoing Test series between India and Sri Lanka. The system has evoked mixed reaction from players with some saying that it has helped the game become error-free while others criticising it for eroding the on field umpire`s authority and slowing down matches. Lee felt it takes away the element of human error which makes cricket an intriguing sport. It`s good for stumping and run outs but I believe the human element should always be there. For leg before decisions I like the on-field umpire to take the call and I think most times they do get it right,” Lee said. The Australian pace spearhead has been on a high for the past several months, earning back-to-back man of the series awards in the Test series against Sri Lanka and West Indies and completing 300 wickets in the longer version of the game his red hot form earned him rich praise from West Indies great Viv Richards, who put him in the same bracket as Caribbean legends like Joel Garner and Michael Holding. Lee said he was humbled by Richards praise. It was a great feeling… to be praised by somebody like him is certainly special. Those were lovely comments that Viv made and I felt humbled he said. Away from cricket Lee shot for his maiden Bollywood movie `Victory` and said it was not all that tough as he just had to play himself in the movie that also stars newcomer Harman Baweja and Amrita Rao. Shooting for Victory was a very good experience. We had fun on the sets. Harman was a nice co-star and it was a great experience working with him he said and the 31 year old pacer also has plans to release a music album soon.
