The West Indies could not avoid an innings defeat in the Wellington Test

Sports Desk: Like Hamilton, the West Indies cricket team could not avoid an innings defeat in the Wellington Test. The team led by Jason Holder was shamefully whitewashed in the two-match Test series against New Zealand. The Caribbeans, who lost by an innings and 134 runs in Hamilton, lost the last Test of the series by an innings and 12 runs on Monday.

Jermaine Blackwood's century is the achievement of the Caribbeans in the two Tests lost by an innings. The Windies could not avoid an innings defeat after his 104-run innings in Hamilton. The star batsman scored the second highest 217 runs in a two-Test series. New Zealand captain Ken Williamson has scored the most 251 runs in the series. He went down to bat in one innings in Hamilton and scored a double century. The star batsman, one of the best batsmen in the world at the time, retired from the second Test of the series to be with his child-bearing wife.

So he was not seen on the field in this Test. The West Indies were bowled out for 137 and 247 in two innings in reply to New Zealand's 519/7 in Williamson's double century in the first Test in Hamilton. Henry Nicholas did not notice Williamson's absence in the second Test in Wellington. New Zealand scored 480 runs in the first innings on his 184-run innings. Saudi and Jamison shared five wickets each. Windies scored 244 runs for 6 wickets on the third day to avoid follow-on. The Caribbeans lost 4 wickets to add only 63 runs on the fourth day.

Holder got out at the beginning of the day after batting again on the fourth day on Monday with 80 made the previous day. The Windies, who dreamed of avoiding an innings loss, returned with just one run. After the departure of Holder with 61 runs, Aljari Joseph returned with 24 runs off just 12 balls with three fours and two sixes. De Silva, who had scored 25 runs the day before, was dismissed for 300 runs. Before that he made 56 runs. Neil Wagner took the wicket of Shannon Gabriel as the last batsman and bowled out the Windies for 316 runs. Neil Wagner and Trent Bolt took three wickets each for New Zealand. Tim Southee and Kyle Jamison took two wickets each.
