Transcript

00:00Four.

00:07Up-ish.

00:09Oh, what a marvellous throw that was there.

00:13Kepa, he's throwing the one-stamp here today, man. That was really a marvellous effort.

00:20There he stands admiring his own lovely work.

00:24Beautiful throw. The South Africans have been practicing this sort of thing time and time again.

00:28He never hit that one-stamp from any part of the field.

00:31You say that was jolly close, you know.

00:33That was indeed very close.

00:35I'm not certain that he might in another day have got the decision to go against him.

00:39He's got a very, very knit-and-tuck sort of situation. I thought he might just have...

00:44Rather silly in the closing stages.

00:48Absolutely done for the lack of pace on that occasion through the shot, particularly.

00:53So Kretli Ambrose comes in.

01:00And he'll have just the one ball to face.

01:04And in fact, he won't even face a delivery.

01:07Because the batsman crossed while that ball was in the air.

01:10And it will be Hooper who will take strike off this last delivery.

01:17He's just there to do some running, Tony.

01:19And he might not even get the chance to do that.

01:21And he just runs the length of the pitch.

01:28So Kretli Ambrose has strolled out to the middle, run the length of the pitch.

01:33Hasn't got a run, but the West Indies have got 287.46 from their 50 overs.

01:39The highest score by far ever recorded in the one-day international on this ground.

01:46And innings based primarily on Philip Simmons' 123.

01:54His highest score in one-day internationals.

01:56And innings which was scored from just 113 deliveries with five sixes and 12 fours.

02:02And innings which those who have watched the proceedings here won't ever forget.

02:09Tremendous knock by Phil Simmons.

02:11Brian Lara made 50.

02:13Richie Richardson, the West Indies captain, given a distressing reception by this big crowd at Sabina Park.

02:22Making 30 after than 27.

02:24And the South Africans...
