It's a great feeling India captain Rahul Dravid Full India reaction

India earned their first series win in the Caribbean for 35 years as they beat West Indies by 49 runs in the fourth Test in Jamaica.

Sri Sreesanth claimed three top order wickets and spinner Anil Kumble cleaned up the tail for figures of 6-78 as West Indies were all out for 219.

West Indies still had hope while Denesh Ramdin was at the crease.

But he ran out of partners on 62 as Kumble took the last two wickets in the space of three deliveries.

"We were playing against the odds - bad selection, bad pitches," home skipper Brian Lara complained afterwards.

"When 40 wickets fall for under 700 runs within two and a half days, I think you have other things to look at actually."

But opposite number Rahul Dravid had no complaints, saying: "It was a fantastic effort. Id' like to thank the team - they played some great cricket."

It was only India's fourth victory in 42 Tests in the West Indies and followed draws in the first three games of the series.

India began the final day on 128-6 and their last four wickets only managed to add another 33 tot the total during the morning session.

Corey Collymore picked up the wickets of Anil Kumble (10), Rahul Dravid (68) and Harbhajan Singh (nine) to finish with 5-48, and Jermoe Taylor (4-45) removed Sri Sreesanth for 16.

It left the home side with a victory target of 269, which would have been the highest fourth inngs score to win a game at Sabina Park.

But their hopes immediately suffered a setback when Chris Gayle was caught at slip from Sreesanth's second delivery with the new ball to complete a pair on his home ground.

Dwayne Bravo paid the price for failing to keep his eye on the ball

Sreesanth returned refreshed after lunch and bowled Daren Ganga with a yorker for 16 before Munaf Patel made a telling contribution by winning an ibw decision against Brian Lara (11).

Shivnarine Chanderpaul became Kumble's first victim when he was leg before for 13 playing across the line, but Ramnaresh Sarwan and Dwayne Bravo halted the slide as they shared a partnership of 70 in 16 overs.

Sarwan reached his half century off 95 balls, with seven fours, before Sreesanth produced another good one to find the edge and Dravid took a sharp low catch at clip to send him on his way for 51.

West Indies needed to hold their nerve, but the situation proved too much for Bravo, who attempted an ambitious slog sweep off Kumble in the next over and was bowled off stump for 33.

Marlon Samuels did not last long before he was pinned on the back foot by a straight one from Kumble and given out lbw for five.

Ramdin, however, batted with impressive maturity to reach only his second Test fifty with a well-placed drive for four through mid-off, and celebrated by thumping Kumble back over his head for a straight six in the next over.

But by that stage he had also lost Taylor, who made 20 off 24 balls before becoming yet another lbw victim for Kumble.

And the end came quickly following Ramdin's six as Pedro Collins was lbw for three and Collymore edged Kumble to the keeper to spark a joyous celebration among the Indian players.
