Greaves Calls It 'special, Special Day' After West Indies Pull Off Historic Draw

By IANS News December 06, 2025 • 13:58 PM View: 418

The West Indies: West Indies all-rounder Justin Greaves called it a "very special day" after he rescued his team with an unbeaten 202 and drew against New Zealand in the first Test at the Hagley Oval.

Greaves and Roach added 180 in an uninterrupted partnership for the seventh wicket after New Zealand set a total of 531 for the West Indies. The West Indies batted out 163.3 overs, with Greaves scoring 202 not out off 388 balls and Roach scoring 58 not out off 233.

Only England's 654 for 5 in the classic Test match against South Africa in Durban in 1939 was higher than their 457 for 6, which was the second-highest fourth-innings total in Test cricket.
