The match ended in shame. The crowd, which watched the West Indies put the Indian attack to the sword on Tuesday morning and then erupted as the Indian openers ran riot, watched the third one-day match being abandoned after 27.1 overs following three incidents of crowd misbehaviour.
ICC match referee Mike Proctor awarded the match to India under the Duckworth-Lewis system which came into force since 25 overs had been completed.
But the decison left a bad taste in the mouth. Only stand-in captain Ridley Jacobs and manager Ricky Skeritt attended the presentation ceremony from the Windies side. Former West Indian paceman Ian Bishop, here as a commentator, summed up the mood when he said, "I can't believe this is happening. It will set a bad precedent and send the wrong message to miscreants that they can finish a match if India is winning by throwing (things on to the field)."
