00:00:00The Sydney Cricket Ground as Australia's captain Richie Benno leads his team onto the field before the start of the third test match.
00:00:16Benno lost the toss and the West Indian captain Frank Worrell decided to bat on a moist pitch.
00:00:21The opening pair is Cammie Smith on the left and Conrad Hunt.
00:00:25It's a hot steamy morning and a large crowd sees Davidson open the bowling to hunt and what a start it is.
00:00:35A crashing shot and the West Indians have begun their innings in spectacular fashion.
00:00:45Yes, it's a boundary. Four runs off the first ball when conditions should favour the new ball bowlers.
00:00:51The atmosphere is heavy and Alan Davidson is able to move the ball both ways.
00:00:55Hunt is not tempted on this occasion, but his job won't be easy because the experts predict a lively opening spell under the prevailing conditions.
00:01:07Hunt plays defensively on the last ball of the first over of the third test match.
00:01:11The pitch is well grasped and there's some life in it for the fast men.
00:01:15The second over with Ian Mekiff bowling to Cammie Smith.
00:01:19Smith is quick to score runs and this time it's a single.
00:01:27Mekiff takes his place in the Australian team after missing the second test match through an injury.
00:01:33Mekiff is bowling into the breeze and he's able to prevent Hunt from scoring for the remainder of his over.
00:01:39A confident start, but the first exciting moments come in Davidson's new over.
00:01:49Smith playing forward to a fast in swinger is wrapped on the pad and Davidson's appeal is disallowed.
00:01:55This will be a hard fought contest between bat and ball and Smith again is beaten by the late swerve.
00:02:05The crowd anticipates action with each ball and Smith by way of reprisal is able to force the ball away for four more runs.
00:02:13This is a bright opening to a test match.
00:02:19The batsmen are playing strokes and both the opening bowlers are lively and accurate.
00:02:23Hunt in particular is batting in his most entertaining vein and the West Indians have raced ahead of the clock in the first 15 minutes of play.
00:02:31The good scoring off the first three overs is a forerunner to the onslaught in Mekiff's second over.
00:02:43The batsmen take runs off almost every ball, although at times the runs are not scored in the manner they intended.
00:02:49Thank you so much.
00:03:09four more off the last ball
00:03:26for the grand total of 14 off the over
00:03:28it's a dashing cricket
00:03:30with the crowd enjoying every moment
00:03:32Alan Davidson again
00:03:33starting the fifth over to Cammy Smith
00:03:35the West Indian pair have rattled up 27 runs
00:03:45and this is only the fifth over of the match
00:03:47Davidson can't check the run getting
00:03:49and Smith takes another four off the last ball
00:03:52Beno still maintains the aggressive umbrella field
00:03:59with McDonald and Martin in the gully
00:04:01beside Ken McKay at third slip
00:04:03Neil Harvey and Bobby Simpson
00:04:05a second and first slip
00:04:07Grout is the wicketkeeper
00:04:08and Hunt is the batsman
00:04:09who faces up to the last ball of Davidson's over
00:04:15the over ends
00:04:17and commentators have more action to describe
00:04:19in Mekiff's next over
00:04:21both batsmen are going for their shots
00:04:22and the score climbs rapidly in the next five minutes of play
00:04:25the baseball
00:04:40and the score
00:04:41and that's the stingal to Hunt
00:04:43The single to Hunt takes the score to 46 in 35 minutes play, a real crowd-pleasing performance.
00:05:01Davidson, the leading wicket-taker for the series, has been unable to break through,
00:05:05and the batsmen appear to be getting on top.
00:05:13Davidson tries a desperation move with this ball to Smith.
00:05:18He attempts a bumper, but the ball is so high over the batsman's head that the umpire calls a wide.
00:05:24A change comes with Davidson's next ball when Smith, with a reflex action, edges the ball to Simpson at first Smith.
00:05:35Smith caught Simpson, bowled Davidson for 16, and the first wicket has fallen for 48.
00:05:41Kanhai comes in, and Mackay comes on, bowling his first over to Hunt.
00:05:51Hunt takes a single off the last ball of the over to keep Kanhai away from the strike, and for the moment away from the line.
00:05:58Ian Mekiff bowls, this time from the northern end.
00:06:01The single takes Hunt to 34, and the score to 67.
00:06:11Mekiff is bowling now to Rohan Kanhai, who scores off the first ball.
00:06:16Mekiff scores a great blow for Australia when Hunt is out caught by Simpson at Smith.
00:06:23Hunt scored 34 runs, and the West Indians have lost 2 for 68.
00:06:27Sobers comes in to face Mekiff with the West Indians in a difficult position.
00:06:41Sobers gets a single, and this is the first run of a great innings.
00:06:44For the next hour the tempo slows down as the two top batsmen settle down to fight back against the accurate and varied attack.
00:06:51It's tight cricket because Mackay is swinging the ball both ways at will.
00:07:03Things seem to liven up when Davidson comes back into the attack.
00:07:06He attacks the stumps and the batsmen take singles to maintain a steady rate of scoring.
00:07:11Alan Davidson captures a vital wicket for the Australians when Kanhai snicks, and he's out caught by Grouch for 21.
00:07:18It was a really good ball, and Kanhai is the third man out with a West Indian total at 89.
00:07:36The new batsman is Captain Frank Worrell as Davidson moves into bowl.
00:07:41With five minutes remaining before the luncheon adjournment, Richie Benno comes on for one over.
00:07:48The change is welcomed by Sobers with a glorious drive.
00:07:51Two balls left before lunch, but the batsmen are prepared to play strokes if the right ball comes along.
00:08:04Sobers goes to 13 and Worrell faces the last ball of the over.
00:08:15West Indies free for 89 at lunch.
00:08:18Johnny Martin is brought on, and Worrell is aggressive at the start of the afternoon session.
00:08:23The play in the first minutes of the afternoon session is full of incidents.
00:08:50Benno is spinning the ball, and Sobers has a narrow escape when the ball just misses the stumps.
00:08:56Incident follows incident, and with the next ball from Benno, Sobers gets a single to bring up his 50.
00:09:08More excitement off the next ball from the Australian captain.
00:09:11The opposing captain attempts to sweep, and he's out, caught by Davidson at leg slip.
00:09:16Worrell waits for the umpire's decision, then leaves the scene after scoring 22 runs.
00:09:22The West Indians have lost four for 152, as Benno bowls to the new batsman, Seymour Nurse.
00:09:29The West Indians stage a great recovery when Nurse and Sobers put on a partnership of more than 100 runs.
00:09:41Nurse leaves the scoring to his more talented partner, and in the next hour all the Australian bowlers are punished by this brilliant player.
00:09:48But they're mostly in the last four or four.
00:09:49The West Indians should be a great coach, but he can't play with a young man.
00:09:50The second runner is a brilliant player.
00:09:51...
00:09:52The second runner is the best runner.
00:09:53Be very proud and peaceful.
00:09:54They're all at the best runner.
00:09:55But the only one wants to be seen.
00:09:57He can't be his 3rd player.
00:09:58He's an old man.
00:09:59He's a young man.
00:10:00Have a great player.
00:10:01He can't be a large team.
00:10:02He's a nice one.
00:10:03He's a smart guy.
00:10:04Look at his son.
00:10:05It's a brilliant player.
00:10:06He's a brilliant player.
00:10:07He's a brilliant player.
00:10:09Good player.
00:10:10He's a brilliant player.
00:10:12He's a brilliant player.
00:10:13He's a brilliant player.
00:10:14Two fours and a single and Sobers has moved to 96.
00:10:23This is real entertainment and the huge crowd wants a Sobers 100 as Mekif comes into bowl.
00:10:36Two more and Sobers is 98, an exciting stage with every person on the ground, with the bowl
00:10:45as an exception, hoping for a two.
00:10:48Back with Ian Mekif as he runs to bowl.
00:10:50This ball is on the leg stump and Sobers gets a single to go to 99.
00:10:5937,000 ready to cheer as Davidson bowls.
00:11:18Play resumes with Davidson Bowling to Nurse, who's been in the background for some time.
00:11:23Nurse has played a solid part in the partnership and his ability just to stay there has been
00:11:28of great value to the West Indian cause.
00:11:30On the other hand, the brilliance of Sobers is shown to full advantage in Mekif Sober.
00:11:35All right.
00:12:15It's a fine display of batting and the score is soaring with jet-like speed.
00:12:22Even the accurate medium paces of Mackay can't arrest the magnificent array of strokes.
00:12:43The partnership passes the century with Sobers scoring more than two runs to his partner's
00:12:48one.
00:12:49The West Indians have recovered from the early setbacks and it's the Australians who are fighting
00:12:53now.
00:12:54The spin of Richie Benno brings the partnership to an end.
00:12:57Benno bowls and Nurse is brilliantly caught by Simpson at first flip.
00:13:02Simpson has taken three catches during the day.
00:13:06Nurse out for 43 and Solomon comes in to face Benno.
00:13:17Solomon gets a boundary to open his scoring.
00:13:19The light is fading as storm clouds are coming up from the south.
00:13:22It's quite dark as Mackay bowls to service.
00:13:29The clouds come over the crowd and umpires consider an appeal against the light.
00:13:34It's no surprise when the appeal is upheld.
00:13:36There's a gale force wind and it's very dark when the players leave the field to complete
00:13:40the first day's play.
00:13:44The Sydney cricket ground on the second day of the third test match.
00:13:48The West Indians are five for 303 as Australia's captain Richie Benno opens the bowling to Garfield
00:13:53Sobers.
00:13:54Sobers in grand form is quickly on the attack and his virile shot starts the scoring for
00:13:59the day.
00:14:05The wind has turned to the south and Benno takes the first over to allow Davidson to change
00:14:10ends.
00:14:11Benno has a problem on his hands because Sobers could take complete control if he remains
00:14:16at the crease.
00:14:17The Australians want to capture this important wicket but Sobers appears to have maintained
00:14:22the great form of the previous day.
00:14:35Sobers has taken nine runs off the over and he gains applause for keeping the strike for
00:14:39Davidson's over.
00:14:41Australia wants a big effort from the left arm bowler because an early wicket will help
00:14:45to keep the score in check.
00:14:46The overnight rain makes the wicket lively and Davidson is able to confuse Solomon with
00:14:51lift off the pitch.
00:14:57The end of a good over by Davidson.
00:15:01A quick bowling change and Mackay comes into the attack.
00:15:02The quick changes don't affect Sobers and the West Indian champion continues his crowd-pleasing
00:15:07performance.
00:15:08Sobers has taken four catches and Solomon, out for 14, was the sixth wicket to fall.
00:15:23Alexander, the last of the real batting strength, comes in to face Benno.
00:15:29The whole course of the game alters in Davidson's new over.
00:15:32Sobers, in his effort to hook a short ball, loses his wicket when Davidson takes the catch.
00:15:38The whole ground rises to afford a magnificent innings by Garfield Sobers.
00:15:44He scored 168 runs and the West Indies have lost two wickets for none.
00:15:50Davidson now bowling to Gibbs.
00:15:55Wickets are tumbling quickly, with Davidson bowling at the peak of his form.
00:16:00Gibbs gets an outside edge and Grout takes a remarkable catch.
00:16:03Three wickets have fallen without any addition to the score, with Davidson and Benno responsible
00:16:08for the collapse.
00:16:11Gibbs out for a duck.
00:16:13Hall joins Alexander, who faces Benno at the start of another over.
00:16:21Alexander will have to try and force the pace.
00:16:24Benno spins one away, and Alexander hits it straight to Harvey at point.
00:16:28Alexander out without scoring, and the sensational tumble of wickets has continued.
00:16:33Hall and Valentine are the remaining batsmen, with nine down for 329.
00:16:38It's Benno bowling to Valentine.
00:16:45The end may be in sight, but the crowd is ready for a real batting treat, as Alan Davidson
00:16:50moves in the bowl to Hall.
00:16:51A tremendous swipe from Hall.
00:16:55He connects and that's four runs.
00:16:56The tall fast bowler was given a hero's welcome by the Sydney crowd, and apparently he's determined
00:17:01to give the spectators good value for their money.
00:17:17Hall goes to eight, and Davidson comes in with two balls left in his over.
00:17:21Hall is trying to keep the strike, and there's a great cheer when he takes a single off the
00:17:25last ball.
00:17:32Applause from the crowd, which has risen to 44,000.
00:17:36Hall faces Benno, and he delights everybody with his individual technique against the spinners.
00:17:50Hall takes a single off the last ball, and he's stolen the strike again.
00:17:54The spectators are put in rollicking good humour, but the bowlers have the more serious problem
00:17:59of taking the last wicket.
00:18:00Hall's habit of moving off for a run brings about an accident when Alan Davidson is knocked
00:18:05down by a fast return from Benno.
00:18:11Davidson was walking back to his bowling mark when Benno threw at the wickets from mid-on.
00:18:16Davidson was struck on the neck, and fortunately the injury is not serious.
00:18:20A few moments later, Davidson is back on the job showing no ill effects.
00:18:30This is the last ball of the innings.
00:18:32Hall snicks, and Grout takes his third cap.
00:18:35In the sensational mornings cricket, the West Indians lost five wickets for 36 to be all-out
00:18:41for 339.
00:18:43Davidson took five wickets, and Benno fought.
00:18:48Colin McDonald wearing the cap, and Bobby Simpson will open for Australia.
00:18:52Wesley Hall will bowl the first over on a pitch which should assist his pace.
00:18:57Mcdonald will take the strike, and Hall is ready for the start of the Australian innings.
00:19:06Mcdonald cracks a full toss past Valentine in the covers, and it runs from the outset.
00:19:11Mcdonald and Simpson cross for three runs, and the Australians have matched their opponents
00:19:15with a spectacular start.
00:19:17Now, it's Simpson who faces Hall for the second ball of the over.
00:19:26Hall is gradually working up speed, and this ball down the leg side gives Simpson his chance to score his first runs.
00:19:36Two to Simpson, and Hall comes bounding in for the last ball of the over, and it's a bumper.
00:19:43Warrell is the other new ball bowler, and the drop in speed is a welcome relief after the fire and venom of Hall.
00:19:54This is a lopsided pace attack because Warrell is just medium pace.
00:19:59Simpson and Mcdonald can keep the score moving along with a series of singles.
00:20:03The end of the over, and the buzz of excitement around the ground with the reappearance of Hall.
00:20:20Mcdonald takes another single, then a West Indian triumph.
00:20:32Hall moves into bowl, Simpson tries to glance, gets an edge, and he's out caught at short fine leg by Rohan Kanhai.
00:20:38This catch was rated by experts as one of the best seen on the Sydney cricket ground in a test match.
00:20:44Simpson out for ten, and Neil Harvey comes in to face a Hall bumper.
00:20:50Harvey scores his first run, and a fielding lapse gives the batsman an overthrow.
00:21:03The West Indian out cricket has improved vastly since the tour began, but still they are guilty of occasional errors.
00:21:10Hall now bowling at full speed.
00:21:12This is a no ball, but Harvey can't take advantage.
00:21:15The violence of Hall is sharply contrasted with the comparative piece when Warrell is the bowler.
00:21:20In this over, the batsmen add eight runs to the score.
00:21:24The end of the sea is an in-quday, and it gets the third hour.
00:21:25The odds are quite high, and it's probably not going to be high.
00:21:26We were not touching the position of the north.
00:21:27The other ones are going to be at the top of the top.
00:21:28The other ones are going to be our sure to be at the bottom of the bay.
00:21:29The other ones are going to be at the top of the top of the bottom, and that's going to be the top of the Dear North.
00:21:30And the wind is too fast because the ground is the best.
00:21:33The time and the wind is too fast.
00:21:34What are the reasons that the Main is up to the front?
00:21:35The end of the seas, as it does not look for the front.
00:21:36These are the best, but the extent of the vessels are still flying out to thereno.
00:21:37Three runs to Harvey and the score moves into the 30s.
00:22:05The tempo changes as the action moves to the far end and Wesley Hall.
00:22:09At this stage Hall is reaching express speed and the odd single is the best the batsman can do against him.
00:22:15It's a grim period with Hall the dominating figure.
00:22:23MacDonald struck by a fast rising ball and that's painful to the extreme from a bowler of Hall's pace.
00:22:29MacDonald prepares to bat on and the crowd applauds his gameness.
00:22:32The next ball results in a lively piece of action when Hall, Worrell and the batsman all appear on the scene together.
00:22:45The Australians seem to have recovered from the early setback when Simpson lost his wicket.
00:22:50MacDonald and Harvey are scoring slowly but it's more important from their point of view to weather the stormy new ball period.
00:22:56A loss of another wicket at this time would give the West Indians a great advantage because apart from Hall, the West Indians have Ballantyne and Gibbs to exploit a pitch which already has shown signs of taking spin.
00:23:08The batsman scamper home for a single and the score is 39 after 65 minutes batting.
00:23:19Hall is continuing his long spell and as yet he hasn't given any indication of slowing down.
00:23:25MacDonald fighting hard is steadily increasing his score and this single takes him to 20.
00:23:30The game swings in favour of the West Indians as a result of this ball.
00:23:37Harvey reaches into the unknown, snicks and he's out caught by Sobos at second slip.
00:23:44Harvey scored nine runs and the Australians have lost two wickets for only 40 runs.
00:23:50Norman O'Neill comes to the wickets and he plays his first ball through the close field for two runs.
00:23:54After 80 minutes play, the Australians are not in a very happy position.
00:24:04They've lost two important wickets and the West Indies total of 339 is still a long way off.
00:24:15The tempo of the game has slowed as the batsmen struggle to gain the initiative.
00:24:20The big crowd appreciate the play and Hall is applauded when he comes on to bowl.
00:24:25MacDonald is trying to build up the foundations of a big score but he's finding it hard to force the bowling away.
00:24:30Still, it's not negative cricket because runs obviously are the object of the batsmen.
00:24:35Paul limps away on completion of his over.
00:24:50The big fellow has literally bowled himself into the ground and he leaves the field for attention during the break for drinks.
00:24:57On resumption, the game alters in character when off-spinner Lance Gibbs comes into the attack for the first time.
00:25:07MacDonald figures in a bad piece of judgment when he is forced to hurry back to the crease.
00:25:12The West Indies are right on their toes and runs are very hard to get.
00:25:15Then, the sensation of the whole afternoon session, left-arm spinner Elk Valentine clean bowls MacDonald in his first over.
00:25:28MacDonald out for 34 and Australia is 3 for 65.
00:25:33Valentine bowls to the new batsman, Fable.
00:25:35Fable apparently decides that defence is not the answer and play livens up in Gibbs next over.
00:25:46Fable is content to play the first ball defensively but after that he gives full reign to his strokes in a bright spate of scoring.
00:25:52Fable takes seven runs off the over, much to the end of the game.
00:26:22He faces Valentine and cricket fans remember Fable's sixes in the Brisbane test off the same bowler.
00:26:29This time, Valentine wins out because Fable plays the ball straight to Worrell at short leg.
00:26:37Australia in a grim position as Mackay faces Valentine.
00:26:41Fable scored 16 and the Australians are 234 runs behind with six wickets in hand.
00:26:47The West Indians are right on top but the home team supporters are cheered by the batting of Norman O'Neill in the late afternoon session.
00:26:53O'Neill in top form is a pleasure to watch and his stroking in this innings is a feature of the day's play.
00:26:54O'Neill in top form is a pleasure to watch and his stroking in this innings is a feature of the day's play.
00:27:00O'Neill in top form is a pleasure to watch and his stroking in this innings is a feature of the day's play.
00:27:19A bowling change and Sobers is brought on.
00:27:40O'Neill takes revenge on behalf of the Australian bowlers who received a battering from Sobers on the afternoon of the first day.
00:27:47O'Neill looks set for a century
00:28:16but he misjudges the spin of Sobers and he's bold attempting a sweep shot.
00:28:20O'Neill scored 71 runs and his innings included 10 fours.
00:28:24Australia has lost five of her best batsmen with 34 runs required to avoid the follow on.
00:28:30Davidson now facing Sobers.
00:28:32The light is starting to deteriorate and the batsmen can't judge the flight of the ball when Hall comes on for another spell.
00:28:46Davidson who has just come to the wickets appeals against the light and the umpires held a conference between wickets.
00:28:50As usual the spectators want play to go on and go on it does with Sobers bowling to Davidson.
00:28:57After the second ball the umpires decide that the light is too bad and the players leave the field with Australia five for 172.
00:29:11Australia with five wickets down resume batting on the third day of the third test in Sydney.
00:29:18Valentine is the bowler and Mackay is the not out batsman with Davidson.
00:29:22The single takes the score to 173 which means that Australia is still 166 runs behind the West Indies first innings total of 339.
00:29:31A crowd of more than 20,000 watches Gibbs bowl the second over.
00:29:38The batsmen take one by and each run is applauded.
00:29:42It's a surprising attendance because the day is overcast and showery and play was 11 minutes late in starting.
00:29:53Davidson and Mackay will battle for runs because the moist pitch is taking spin.
00:29:57This is a day for slow bowlers and the West Indies trump card is Alf Valentine.
00:30:02Davidson crashes this one through the covers and four runs is a good start to a possible batting recovery.
00:30:11Ray Lindwell is absorbed in the struggle as Valentine comes in to bowl.
00:30:14Davidson with a rash shot skies the ball to Warrell in the covers and the sixth Australian wicket has fallen.
00:30:20A clause for Davidson as he leaves the field out for 16.
00:30:24Venno comes in to face Valentine with Australia 145 runs behind with four wickets in hand.
00:30:34Mackay is in trouble facing the ball turning from the leg and Gibbs takes full advantage.
00:30:39Gibbs snicks and he's out caught by Solomon at slip.
00:30:45Mackay has scored 39 valuable runs and Australia has lost seven wickets for 200 runs as Gibbs bowls to Martin.
00:30:52A snick and Martin is out caught Solomon without scoring.
00:31:00A fine performance by Gibbs who took two wickets in two balls.
00:31:03It's the end of the over and Gibbs is on the hat trick.
00:31:06Australia now eight for 200.
00:31:08Grout comes in but first Valentine bowls to Benno.
00:31:12It's a startling and dramatic collapse in a game of varied fortunes.
00:31:19Valentine is the bowler and Benno at least can take a single to move the score past the 200 mark.
00:31:25The last ball of Valentine's over and Grout survives his first ball.
00:31:34In the grandstand Australian selectors Sir Donald Bradman and Dudley Seddon watch Gibbs come in to bowl.
00:31:40Benno drives and he's avoided the hat trick.
00:31:45A single and Gibbs bowls to Grout.
00:31:47A faulty drive goes straight to mid on where Conrad Hunt snaps up the catch.
00:31:52Grout failed to score and his is the ninth wicket to fall for only 202 runs.
00:32:03Gibbs bowls now to Ian Mekith.
00:32:06Mekith manages to survive the over much to the relief of the Australian supporters.
00:32:15It's a startling collapse and Valentine deals the final blow when Benno plays the ball straight back to the bowler.
00:32:26Australia lost her last four wickets for two runs in a sudden collapse.
00:32:30The West Indies lead by 137 runs and full credit to spinners Valentine and Gibbs who finished with seven wickets between them.
00:32:41Thirty minutes before lunch the players are on the field for the start of the West Indies innings.
00:32:45Alan Davidson opens the bowling backed by a strong southerly breeze.
00:32:49Hunt survives the ball and then the rain starts to tumble down.
00:32:53The umpires decide to stop play and the players leave the field.
00:32:57After a delay of 15 minutes play resumes with Davidson continuing his over.
00:33:07Hunt opens the scoring with a single and Davidson bowls the next ball to Cammy Smith.
00:33:12The tall right-hander attacks from the start and he takes two runs for the shot.
00:33:22Alan Davidson tries to restrict Smith by bowling just short of a length.
00:33:26A cut is Smith's answer to these tactics and another single give the West Indies a total of four runs off the over.
00:33:32Only five minutes before the scheduled time for lunch as Mekiff moves in to bowl to Smith.
00:33:42The West Indians are not concerned about preserving their wickets until lunch and this splashing cut by Smith is a good indication of their aggressive attitude irrespective of the time or the state of the game.
00:33:51The ball races to the boundary and it's four runs to Cammy Smith.
00:33:56A confident start with Mekiff presenting no problems to the batsman.
00:34:00The score goes to ten and there's time for another Davidson over before lunch and what an over it is.
00:34:14Smith has to worry about protecting himself as well as his wicket.
00:34:18Smith survives the ordeal and at lunch they have scored ten runs without loss.
00:34:36Mekiff is the bowler on resumption and Hunt try as he might can't score any runs off the over.
00:34:41A maiden over to Mekiff and the experts can predict a great effort by Davidson as he runs into bowl.
00:35:00Smith plays him nicely off his toes to score the first run since the adjournment.
00:35:04Hunt, whose timing is astray, faces Davidson.
00:35:07Davidson, a fast rising ball, Hunt snicks and he's out. Caught a third slip by Norman O'Neill.
00:35:21Hunt scored one run and the West Indians have lost their first wicket for ten.
00:35:30Kanhai is quick to get among the runs and the West Indians, by their actions in this over, indicate their intentions to score runs as quickly as they can.
00:35:36They have the advantage and another 200 odd runs scored in quick time will make them strong favourites to win.
00:35:43It's a sparkling day's cricket and there's more excitement in Mekiff's next over.
00:35:50Kanhai is out to make amends for his low score in the first innings and he, like Smith, is ready to attack the bowling at every opportunity.
00:35:57It's a sparkling day's cricket.
00:35:58It's a sparkling day's cricket and there's more excitement in Mekiff's next over.
00:36:07Kanhai is out to make amends for his low score in the first innings and he, like Smith, is ready to attack the bowling at every opportunity.
00:36:14Another four to Cammy Smith and the batsmen maintain their crowd-pleasing reputation.
00:36:36Alan Davidson is stung by the quick scoring and this ball accounts for Kanhai.
00:36:40A catch to Johnny Martin at short square leg and it's two wickets down for 20 runs.
00:36:45Davidson comes in bowling to Sobers and the fast bowler is really intent on getting the batsmen out.
00:36:52He tries a shot at the stumps and Sobers has to hurry.
00:36:55It's lively bowling and the batsmen are restricted to singles.
00:37:23The highlight of the day comes with the next ball. Davidson comes in at full speed.
00:37:28Sobers plays and there's a loud appeal from the whole Australian team.
00:37:32Sobers stands his ground, then realises he's out, caught behind by Grump.
00:37:39Sobers out for one and Davidson has taken three wickets in a great spell.
00:37:43He continues bowling to Worrell and it's a bumper.
00:37:53Worrell scores his first run and this is the start of a glorious hour of cricket.
00:38:00In a period of 60 minutes, Worrell and Smith with delightful batting are able to completely captivate the spectators and completely decimate the bowling.
00:38:08Quick running between the wickets is the feature of this grand partnership.
00:38:22All the bowlers suffer in this run getting spell.
00:38:25Cammy Smith has his share of luck but he's staying there to support Worrell and that's the main thing.
00:38:41Davidson is starting to tire and the batsmen are finding it a little easier to pick up runs off his bowling.
00:38:46But tired or not, it's hard to score off Davidson and only a great batsman can play a shot like this.
00:39:02Now the spin of Beno.
00:39:04Smith does the right thing by scoring a single to give the strike to his captain who is batting at his top.
00:39:09Here's an example of Worrell at his best.
00:39:21It's a batting feast for the big crowd of 27,000.
00:39:39The run getting rate gets faster when Martin bowls to Worrell.
00:39:48A short ball is hit right out of the ground by Worrell.
00:39:58The six is wildly applauded but there's more to come.
00:40:01Johnny Martin is the target for some West Indian violence.
00:40:0413 off the over.
00:40:26Now Beno faces a batting blast from Worrell and Smith.
00:40:30And there's more to come.
00:40:33Best of luck is with your captain and his team.
00:40:35Finally we have the police.
00:40:36If you're in here to get the santificance of his team.
00:40:38It's the right thing to try to watch this.
00:40:39You look at the batting and put his team into the water.
00:40:40Then it's the batting and put it in here.
00:40:41It's right there.
00:40:42Now Beno makes it a bit of his face.
00:40:43You look at him.
00:40:44It's the country to try to catch him.
00:40:45He's a bit of his face.
00:40:46With his team and his team and his team...
00:40:48And it's the only way to fit in.
00:40:50Nine runs off this over,
00:40:51The crowd calling for more as Worrell faces Martin's new Molt's
00:40:56is to the ready.
00:40:57The squad of the car is to go together in here.
00:40:58What else are you will be looking for?
00:40:59as Martin's knew over.
00:41:27Warrell goes past 50 in 65 minutes, the best half-century scene for a long time.
00:41:33Mackay is brought on and he's able to quell the quick scoring with his accurate medium paces.
00:41:48The selectors have their problems, but Benno provides a bright moment in Australia's cloudy future
00:41:53when Cammy Smith snicks a catch to Simpson at slip.
00:41:59Smith out for 55 and the West Indies have lost 4 for 123. Nurse is the new batsman.
00:42:05Seymour Nurse scores his first run, but his stay at the wickets is short-lived.
00:42:23The focal point is Ken Mackay as he moves into bowl. Nurse drives the ball straight back to Mackay
00:42:29and he's out, caught and bowed. The West Indians have lost 5 wickets and Nurse was dismissed for 11.
00:42:35Mackay bowls to Solomon and now the West Indians have reached the end of their batting strength
00:42:40because only wicketkeeper Alexander is to come.
00:42:56Benno captures another vital wicket when he traps Solomon into hitting a catch to Harvey.
00:43:02The West Indians, 6 wickets down as Alexander joins Worrell at the crease.
00:43:10It's a quiet period of play now as both batsmen try to preserve their wickets and slowly build up the score.
00:43:16But it's Richie Benno again when he traps Worrell leg before wicket.
00:43:26It was a great innings and Worrell was out for 82.
00:43:35The West Indies lead by 303 as Gibbs joins Alexander to play out the last few overs of the day's play.
00:43:42The West Indies are now at a strong position for an outright win.
00:43:47The West Indians will resume batting before a big Tuesday crowd on the fourth day of the third test match.
00:43:53Alexander attacks the bowling from the start and four runs give the West Indies a lead of 320 with three wickets in hand.
00:44:00Both Davidson and McKay are injured and Richie Benno will have the brunt of the bowling.
00:44:12The Australians are concentrating their efforts on Lance Gibbs who lacks the batting capabilities of his partner Alexander.
00:44:18Gibbs gets a precious single and also gets away from the strike.
00:44:21Benno now to Alexander and each run scored makes the Australian task harder and harder.
00:44:28Benno without the services of both his fast bowlers brings on Ken McKay but he fails to check the steady flow of runs.
00:44:34Alexander, the right man for the occasion, is playing a great innings.
00:44:38Even allowing for the depleted attack, this is a fine effort by the West Indians considering they lost three wickets for 20 odd runs.
00:44:45Alexander's big hit results in the first boundary of the morning's play.
00:44:54The score has passed 200 and the new ball is available but the Australians have no fast bowler to use it.
00:45:00In fact, only McKay could be termed a new ball bowler.
00:45:09Fifteen minutes later, the new ball is taken by McKay from the northern end.
00:45:13Alexander cracks the ball away for a single and the score continues to climb.
00:45:17This is a danger period for the West Indians because Gibbs lacks batting ability against the swinging ball.
00:45:30Gibbs survives the ordeal and then the game takes an unusual turn with the sight of Benno bowling medium-paced seamers with the new ball.
00:45:37It's the only solution to Australia's bowling problem and Alexander takes advantage.
00:45:50Alexander gets three runs and Gibbs has only to face the last ball of the over.
00:45:55This is thoughtful, intelligent cricket by Alexander and his efforts are warmly appreciated.
00:46:00In the next McKay over, Alexander provides excitement when this tremendous hit sends the ball soaring high into the grandstand.
00:46:13Alexander becomes the idol of youth with this great effort.
00:46:16The rugged wicket keeper with his iron-bark determination has been and still is one of the stars of this talented team.
00:46:22Even Gibbs is inspired but his attempt to hit the ball out of sight almost ends in a catch to Richie Benno.
00:46:33Australia takes stock of its limited resources and Simpson is brought on.
00:46:38Again Alexander takes a run in the over to retain the strike.
00:46:42He's kept doing this for some time and the bowlers rarely have the chance to get at Gibbs.
00:46:46Benno reverts to leg spinners and Alexander takes his score into the 50s with a well-run three.
00:46:57It won't be a boundary and the Australian 12th man Frank Misson comes in to assist Benno.
00:47:02Misson and Warren Saunders are fielding in place of Mechiff and Davidson.
00:47:05Gibbs is in trouble but the catch falls short of Simpson.
00:47:14Benno, an intelligent bowler, lures Gibbs down the pitch.
00:47:18He misses and Grout removes the bails for an expert starting.
00:47:25Gibbs scored a valuable 18 and the lead approaches 400 as Benno bowls to Wesley Hall.
00:47:30Thoughts concentrate on the state of the pitch when Johnny Martin comes into bowl.
00:47:40Alexander is not concerned but if Martin can extract spin then the Australians will face a problem with Gibbs and Valentine on the fifth and final day.
00:47:49However it's difficult to assess prospects in this over because Alexander doesn't allow the ball to turn.
00:47:54Alexander takes the ball to turn and allow the ball to turn.
00:47:56Alexander takes seven runs off the over and retains the ball to turn.
00:47:59Alexander takes seven runs off the over and retains the ball to turn.
00:48:00Alexander takes seven runs off the over and retains the strike.
00:48:27He has lots of brains under his bonnet this fellow and Benno discovers that he has lots of batting ability as well.
00:48:54Benno now to Hall and the big fast bowler gives Johnny Martin a chase as he scores his first runs.
00:49:01Mackay is brought on for a second spell and his accurate bowling stops the flow of runs.
00:49:11The West Indies lead by more than 400 runs and Alexander is proving to be a real nuisance from the viewpoint of the Australian players.
00:49:19Strangely enough Alexander doesn't attempt to shield Hall and apparently he feels that the big fellow is quite capable of looking after himself.
00:49:26This is cricket to interest everybody at the cricket ground that is perhaps almost everybody but those present will remember this amazing hit by Wesley Hall.
00:49:44Paul has hit Benno for six and 26,000 throats roar encouragement.
00:49:54Just to rub salt into the wound, Paul takes the cheekiest of cheeky singles.
00:49:59Alexander gets a single to take his personal score to 95 and the total to 300.
00:50:11Alexander is facing the bowling of Mackay and facing the tension of the 90s.
00:50:16A quick single and Alexander moves to 96.
00:50:26There's a buzz of excitement around the ground as Mackay bowls.
00:50:29Paul in his eagerness to give his partner the strike is nearly run out and he and Benno enjoy some friendly byplay.
00:50:35The next over, Benno is the bowler and Alexander really crashes the ball through the field and that's his centre.
00:50:56Alexander has scored his first hundred in test cricket, a great performance.
00:51:00It's time to attack now and Alexander and Hall look for runs off every ball.
00:51:29The cricket has a gay atmosphere and there's action enough to suit the connoisseur.
00:51:33It's Ken Mackay who breaks the partnership.
00:51:36Hall is clean bowled after compiling a valuable 24 runs.
00:51:45Hall is the eighth batsman to be dismissed and the West Indies lead by 446 with only one wicket to fall.
00:51:52Valentine is the new batsman.
00:51:59The West Indians have played with great purpose in this match and Benno faces one of the toughest fights in his career as captain of Australia.
00:52:08The batsmen are trying to the end and even Valentine can assist the overall cause.
00:52:13It's called not only 2, 1, 2, 1nament 4.

00:52:33Sunday呀
00:52:37Two fours in a row to add to Valentine's stature as a batsman, Mackay starts an over and Alexander
00:52:46displays his intentions by lashing out to score yet another bounce.
00:53:06Another run to the West Indies and Australia's chances of victory are fading with each minute.
00:53:11The score is building up and the tail end batsmen have played a major role.
00:53:19That was the last run of the innings and this is the last ball.
00:53:23Alexander leg before wicket and the West Indians are all up.
00:53:27Alexander finished with 108 and Australia has to score 464 runs to win the match.
00:53:34As openers Simpson and McDonald face a mammoth task as they come out to bat with nine hours
00:53:38play remaining.
00:53:43Play starts with Paul bowling to Simpson.
00:53:55Simpson opens the scoring and the Australians have started the long uphill fight.
00:53:59It's obvious that one team or the other will win the match.
00:54:02Either the West Indians will bowl them out or the Australians will get the runs.
00:54:07It's going to be win or lose and no player on either side considers playing for a draw.
00:54:15McDonald is almost out from an express ball by Hall.
00:54:18It's shot to short fine leg where Rohan Kanhai was hit on the head after getting his hand
00:54:23to the ball.
00:54:24Kanhai has a sore hand and a sore head and this gives some idea of the bullet like speed
00:54:28of Wesley Hall.
00:54:38McDonald is able to pierce the leg trap to score the first boundary of the innings.
00:54:47The end of the over and Garfield Sobers comes in from the northern end.
00:54:51Although the batsman pick up runs the critics welcome the choice of Sobers as a partner to
00:54:55Hall because he appears to be a livelier bowler than Frank Waddle.
00:55:08The next over is packed with incident.
00:55:10Hall has worked up top speed and the batsmen are subjected to a fierce barrage.
00:55:15McDonald and Simpson are able to score runs and in fact they are keeping up with the clock.
00:55:23Simpson crashes the ball past point for the second boundary of the innings.
00:55:30This type of cricket has been the cause of increased public support this season.
00:55:34The boundary Nettles Hall and he comes charging in to deliver a thunderbolt to Simpson.
00:55:41There's an appeal but Alexander has dropped the catch.
00:55:44Something is happening with each ball to add to the general tension.
00:55:47Now it's Sobers bowling to McDonald.
00:56:03Sobers bowling to Simpson and it's almost a catch in slips.
00:56:06Sobers is moving the ball away from the batsman and with his next delivery Sobers takes a wicket
00:56:11when Simpson is bowled.
00:56:18Simpson bowled Sobers for 12 and the West Indians are right on top.
00:56:23The first Australian wicket has fallen for 27 and Neil Harvey faces the next ball.
00:56:28Harvey scores his first run and Australia's supporters hope for a big score from the great left-hander.
00:56:40Soon there's a change in the bowling and Alf Valentine comes.
00:56:44Harvey shows that he's back in touch with a brilliant display in this over.
00:56:48That's the running Larry of Conservative war on New England.
00:56:50He's been PG-27bb and I don't know more about New England cookies to come here like this.

00:57:14受 tea
00:57:16Ten runs off the over amid the cheers of the big crowd.
00:57:26Off spinner Gibbs comes on and the scoring slows down a little.
00:57:40The West Indians come back into the game in the new over from Valentine to McDonald when
00:57:44McDonald is out caught behind.
00:57:47McDonald scored 27.
00:57:50Australia 2 for 83 as O'Neill faces Valentine.
00:57:58In the next hour O'Neill and Harvey stage a great batting revival as they attack all the
00:58:03bowlers.
00:58:08Harvey passes his 50 to become the first player to score a thousand runs in test matches
00:58:23between Australia and the West Indians.
00:58:35The score passes the hundred in an exciting period of play, back with Hall as he starts
00:59:02a new spell.
00:59:11Hall is bowling in the last minutes of play and the last balls fly over O'Neill's head.
00:59:16The batsmen have added 90 runs in less than even time.
00:59:20This is the second last over and Harvey takes a single to give O'Neill the chance to get
00:59:2450 before stunts.
00:59:31Valentine to O'Neill with his score on 45.
00:59:43O'Neill goes to 48 and Valentine bowls to Harvey.
00:59:47Again the left-hander takes a single to give his partner the strike.
00:59:51Only one more ball in the over and O'Neill makes no mistake.
00:59:54At Stumps Australia has 282 runs to get with Harvey 84 and O'Neill 53.
01:00:03The final day of the third test match in Sydney, Australia's batting and Richie Benno is called
01:00:10onto the field after Neil Harvey injured a leg muscle attempting a run.
01:00:14This is bad luck for Australia and Benno has to ask the opposing captain Frank Worrell for
01:00:18permission to use a runner.
01:00:24West Indians Lance Gibbs and Conrad Hunt enjoy some bowling practice as opener Bobby Simpson
01:00:29comes out to run for Harvey.
01:00:31At this stage Australia wants 280 runs to win the match with eight wickets in hand.
01:00:37Alf Valentine is the bowler with O'Neill 54 and Harvey 85.
01:00:45That's four runs to O'Neill and the batsmen by the way passed their century partnership in
01:00:4990 minutes.
01:00:50O'Neill attacks from the start and it appears that the Australians give themselves a good
01:00:55chance of scoring the required number of runs.
01:01:01After a short stoppage because of rain off spinner Gibbs bowls to Harvey and this is the
01:01:06start of a fine spell of slow bowling.
01:01:09Harvey drives without getting to the pitch of the ball and he's out caught in the covers
01:01:13for a grand 85.
01:01:14It was a great catch by Sobers and the West Indians have broken the vital partnership.
01:01:23Bobble comes in to face the next ball from Gibbs.
01:01:31The official attendance is just under 17,000 as Valentine bowls to O'Neill who now carries
01:01:37a heavy responsibility.
01:01:39If he fails then Australia's hopes will slump with him.
01:01:49Three runs to O'Neill and Australia requires 268 more with seven wickets left.
01:01:55Valentine bowls to O'Neill and the batsmen show that they're on the lookout for runs.
01:01:59The pitch is taking spin after the shower of rain and few people are prepared for the sensations
01:02:04in Gibbs next over.
01:02:10Now the second ball.
01:02:12Pavel, a wild swing and he's bowled.
01:02:14Pavel scored two and Australia has lost two wickets for only 15 runs in 25 minutes of play.
01:02:21The chances of victory are fading quickly with four wickets down and more than 260 to get.
01:02:27Gibbs continues bowling and Mackay is the batsman.
01:02:31Mackay is in trouble against the flighted spinners and his stay is short-lived.
01:02:36Gibbs bowls and Mackay plays the ball straight to Nurse at Silly Point.
01:02:40Mackay out for a duck to revive memories of Jim Laker in England in 1956 when Australia's batting crumbled
01:02:47before an off-spin attack.
01:02:50Half the side is up.
01:02:51Davidson's name goes up but it's Richie Benno who's come in.
01:02:55Benno survives the last ball and the busy scoreboard attendants correct the error.
01:03:00Back to the left arm spinners of Valentine with O'Neill hitting out in spite of the batting disaster.
01:03:12O'Neill and Benno hold a mid-wicket conference and their thoughts at this stage are easy to imagine.
01:03:17It's a tense and graphic scene as the West Indian spinners make the Australians fight hard to score runs
01:03:23and protect their wickets.
01:03:26There are glum facers in the Australian camp watching Gibbs cleverly exploit the breeze
01:03:31as well as getting quick spin off the pitch.
01:03:34This is clever bowling and O'Neill is forced back on the defensive.
01:03:38The battle goes in favour of the bowler when O'Neill edges the ball to the safe hands of Sobers at leg slip.
01:03:47O'Neill out for 70, another fine innings.
01:03:50From the Australian viewpoint now it's, tell me not in mournful numbers, success is but an empty dream.
01:03:56Martin faces Gibbs and the Australians are reaching the end of their batting strength.
01:04:01The next over with Valentine the bowler.
01:04:05It's a catch, Valentine drops it and just look at Gibbs in slip.
01:04:13The West Indians have made victory a near certainty but the Australians won't give up until the last man is out.
01:04:18Benno will fight to the very end and not one spectator has left the ground.
01:04:22Gibbs bowling to Martin and the powerful hook shot results in the first boundary of the day from this bowl.
01:04:34There's a mid-wicket conference between the batsmen and it's our guess that Benno is telling Martin to play down the line.
01:04:40Anyway, the advice doesn't help because Martin is completely beaten by the next ball.
01:04:46Gibbs is giving an outstanding display and this is one of his rare loose balls.
01:04:50Benno scores another single and gets applause for his willingness to attack.
01:05:06Valentine comes in to foil Benno's aggressive intentions.
01:05:10A single off the last ball to shield his less experienced partner.
01:05:25Interest now in Gibbs and his tussle with Benno.
01:05:28Gibbs is floating the ball in the air and making it jump as well as spin viciously from the off.
01:05:33It's absorbing cricket and Valentine causes the next sensation when Martin is clean bow.
01:05:40Martin bowled Valentine for five and the Australians have lost seven wickets with 209 runs on the board.
01:05:50Grouch comes in to face Valentine.
01:06:00Even the tiny incidents amuse the big crowd.
01:06:03They want to cheer about anything at all and when the batsmen score a run the applause is loud and long.
01:06:10They cross for a single and a bad return allows the batsmen to go through for a second run.
01:06:20Gibbs throws down the stumps but Grouch is safely home.
01:06:23There's plenty to entertain the spectators and more runs off the remaining balls help to ease the general tension.
01:06:29Grouch gets two but he's not at all confident.
01:06:47In fact all the confidence is on the side of the West Indians with five hours left for play and more than 230 runs still to get.
01:06:59Benno is taking risks in his efforts to keep Grouch away from the strike.
01:07:06They get away with a cheeky single and it's the end of the over.
01:07:09An unusual sequence of events causes the fall of the next Australian wicket.
01:07:14Gibbs is the bowler and this full-blooded drive sends the ball crashing against the stumps.
01:07:19Benno loses the strike and Gibbs comes in to clean bowl Grouch.
01:07:28Had Benno's drive gone for four then Grouch would not be walking off dismissed without scoring for the second time in this match.
01:07:34It's eight wickets down with defeat a certainty as Alan Davidson limps through the members gate with Les Fable to act as runner.
01:07:44Davidson is suffering with an injured hamstring muscle and the crowd gives him a warm welcome.
01:07:49Davidson will face Gibbs and the obvious restrictions make batting a difficult business.
01:07:57A new over by Valentine and Benno will try to take as much of the bowling as he can.
01:08:04A single off the second last ball of the over and there's only one ball for Davidson to face.
01:08:17He plays it safely but it's certain the news of Australia's defeat will appear in the afternoon editions.
01:08:23Gibbs again and Benno has a crack at every ball.
01:08:34A single and Benno keeps the strike and keeps the game alive.
01:08:49Valentine it is who suffers in this over.
01:08:51We've done this over.
01:08:53Nick Bradford
01:08:58Again Davidson has one ball to play
01:09:23and the crowd looks on with sympathy
01:09:24as the great Australian left-hander
01:09:26shows obvious signs of his handicap.
01:09:33Throughout Australia the eyes and ears
01:09:35of cricket supporters follow the play
01:09:37in the closing minutes of the test match.
01:09:39Beno refuses to admit defeat
01:09:41but with Davidson injured
01:09:43there's no one left to support him.
01:09:44In fact, Ian Meckiff, the last batsman
01:09:47is also on the injured list.
01:09:52Australia's wildest hopes of victory
01:09:54and they are dashed with this ball by Valentine.
01:09:57Beno drives and Valentine takes the cap.
01:09:59Beno fought and bowled Valentine 24
01:10:01and it's interesting to note that he lost his wicket
01:10:04in the same manner in the first winnings.
01:10:06Australia nine wickets down
01:10:08with Meckiff to face Valentine.
01:10:09Meckiff gets a run amid loud cheers from the crowd.
01:10:20It's only a matter of time
01:10:22but Davidson is able to hang on just long enough
01:10:25for Meckiff to provide some excitement
01:10:27in the last minutes of play.
01:10:29Three runs off Gibbs and the player's changeover
01:10:52with Meckiff to face Valentine.
01:10:54This is the last ball of the match.
01:11:12Davidson is bowled for one
01:11:14and the West Indians have scored a great victory
01:11:17by 222 runs.
01:11:19The two spin bowlers took the honours of the morning.
01:11:25Gibbs finished with five wickets and Valentine four
01:11:28and between them they completely wrecked
01:11:30Australia's batting structure.
01:11:32As a money spinner, the match was a huge success
01:11:35with a gross total of 152,660 people paying admission
01:11:40over the five days.
01:11:41It's now one all and one tied with two matches to play.
01:11:45It's now one all and one tied with two matches to play.
