GROS ISLET, St Lucia – West Indies’ near three decade-long wait for a series win over South Africa will not be bearing heavily on captain Kraigg Brathwaite’s mind when the two teams clash in the opening Test of the two-match series at the Daren Sammy National Stadium on Thursday.Brathwaite was not yet born when West Indies beat the Proteas in a one-off Test in Bridgetown 29 years ago, in a match marking the African nation’s re-admission to international cricket.Since then, West Indies have gone seven series against South Africa – including three in the Caribbean – without a single series victory, and have managed a mere two Test wins in the last 27 meetings between the two sides.
