Pedro Collins said, at the close of the fourth day's play on the fifth and final Test of the series, that he was pleased with the way he dismissed India's main batsman, Sachin Tendulkar. Collins bowled Tendulkar for 86 in his opening over after tea to virtually wrap up the match and five-Test series for his team as India reached 237 for 7 at stumps on the fourth day chasing a record 408-run target.

"I got the ball to do a little bit," said Collins, who finished with 3 for 60 off 17 overs. "Sachin has been trying to run the deliveries down to third man, so I decided to go around the wicket and angle it into him and it beat him. I always put my mind to it and try to run in harder and it worked," said Collins.

Tendulkar gave a scare or two to the West Indies during his 32nd Test half-century, hitting 13 fours in his 139-ball knock and sharing a 93-run stand with skipper Sourav Ganguly for the fourth wicket. Collins has been troubling Tendulkar in this series, having dismissed him three times in as many Tests.

He had Tendulkar caught by wicketkeeper Ridley Jacobs for ducks in the third Test at Bridgetown and the fourth at Antigua. "Getting Tendulkar out three times is a great achievement. Any bowler would like to take the wicket of the best batsman of the world," said Collins, who had been dropped for the first two Tests of the series.

"I know he hasn't been having a great time with the bat in this series, so my aim was just to put the ball in certain areas of uncertainty and try to get him out," he said.

Collins was well-supported by fellow-seamer Adam Sanford, who rattled the Indian middle order by removing Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman to finish with 3 for 48 off 19 overs.

"They're great batsmen," said Sanford. "They've got a bat and I've got a ball. As long as they're batting and I'm bowling, I guess I've a chance of getting them out.

"I did what I was supposed to do. When I find the rhythm, everything just flows. It worked in the Busta Cup. It also worked today as I was given a long spell."

Sanford and Ganguly seemed to have exchanged a few words in the middle, but the West Indies fast bowler denied having said anything to the Indian captain.

"I really didn't say anything to Ganguly," said Sanford. "He knocked the ball and was running when he collided. He looked at me and cast a remark. I just looked at him. It must have appeared that I said something to him the way I looked at him."
