West Indies cricket fans have grown weary of false dawns during a decade of decline but after tying the two-Test series with Sri Lanka, captain Chris Gayle said progress was finally being made. “The communication with each other is very good, the guys really rally around each other and are pointing out areas that we need to work on,” Gayle said after Sunday's six-wicket win in an absorbing Test against the Sri Lankans. Whatever work remains to be done in all departments of the game, the West Indians have a smile on their faces again after ending a streak of seven successive series defeats. Leading batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan said Gayle has proven to be the right choice for skipper. “I think Chris has done a great job with the team – I don't think at the moment there is anyone who could do a better job,” he said. __
