I'm happy and overjoyed: Gayle

Chris Gayle had all reason to smile broadly after West Indies held on grimly for a draw in the fifth and final Test to secure their first Test series victory over England in 11 years.

The West Indies captain was speaking after his side won the five-Test series 1-0. It also meant West Indies regained the Wisden Trophy, symbol of Test supremacy between the two sides, for the first time in nine years.

"I am happy and overjoyed," Gayle told reporters. "The wins for us have not been coming often.

"I just want to commend each and everyone for the support they have given me, the character that they have shown individually and collectively. But this result is not only for the team, but all the people of the Caribbean."
