Kaneria separated sides - Inzamam

Danish Kaneria spun the ball sharply in Jamaica

Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq hailed Danish Kaneria as the difference between the two sides after the Test series against West Indies was drawn.

Leg-spinner Kaneria returned 5-46 as Pakistan won by 136 runs in the second and final Test in Jamaica - their first win in the Caribbean since 1988.

"It was a close game but the difference was Danish's bowling. He bowled tremendously well," Inzamam said.

"The boys really worked hard. To come back in this Test was a great effort."

Inzamam was a key figure also, scoring 50 and 117 after sitting out of the first Test due to suspension.

He added: "It was a good Test for me and I am a happy man."

I would liked to have seen more of Corey Collymore this season and I think that is a shortcoming of the selectors
Brian Lara

Kaneria claimed the prized scalps of Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Brian Lara - both for ducks - as the Windies were skittled for 143 on the fifth day.

"Everybody in the team believed in me and I stood up on the occasion when they needed me. I did my best for the team," the leg-spinner said.

"I got Lara in Barbados but he made a hundred, so I thought I wanted to get him for a duck. Everybody was praying for me that I would get Lara for a duck and I did."

Lara, named Man of the Series for his centuries in both Tests, was disappointed with the result.

"I didn't do anything when the team needed it. We were well-placed [to win] but it didn't happen for us."

The former skipper paid tribute to Corey Collymore, who claimed match figures of 11-134, and criticised selectors for snubbing the paceman in the Test series against South Africa.

"I would liked to have seen more of Corey Collymore this season and I think that is a shortcoming of the selectors," he added.
