00:00:00Our Group A looked at the start of the day, both sides having played one, which they won.
00:00:05Now, this was the toss, the West Indies won it, and straight away they decided to bat.
00:00:10And here are the two teams for you.
00:00:11Both sides very strong in the batting department, with the West Indies depending upon their familiar battery of quicks for bowling supremacy.
00:00:18Watch out for Anil Kumle, a contest between him and Brian Lara, mouth-watering.
00:00:23So it's the West Indies to bat first, and in the commentary box, Sunil Gavisker is with Richie Benno.
00:00:30The criticism of the Indian fielding the last time they played, I don't think it will have abated from that little effort at mid-on.
00:00:45That's right, Richie, I think Ashish Kapoor a little late to dive, very firmly struck by Richie Richardson.
00:00:52I don't think Richie Richardson actually expected to get too many runs out of that, but he's got four now.
00:01:00Too wide, gives us a chance to gauge the pace of the outfield, which is fast.
00:01:08Well, you just cannot afford to give wit to the batsman on a flat wicket like this.
00:01:19And there has been a lot of talk about Richie Richardson's form, but he certainly is striking the ball very well today.
00:01:26Good placement.
00:01:32Once again, the fast outfield ensures that'll be a boundary.
00:01:40All the good work that Manoj Prabhakar had done earlier in the over, coming to not with that short pitch delivery,
00:01:45and a little bit of width, which has allowed Campbell to break free.
00:01:54And the West Indies move on ahead.
00:01:55And he's gone, first blood to India.
00:02:02Srinad has done it.
00:02:06Eleven players on the field, cavorting around, and around about 30,000 spectators.
00:02:1416 for one, West Indies.
00:02:16Yes, and I think part of the joy is not just the wicket, but also that Brian Lara should be coming into bat.
00:02:26Sherwin Campbell too close to play that shot, dragging the ball onto his stumps.
00:02:31West Indies are 16 for one.
00:02:35And then on your screen, it's just been given a standing ovation coming out.
00:02:39It certainly works the other way, but everyone wants to see Brian Lara here at Qualia.
00:02:44Nice placement by Ritchie Richardson.
00:02:56Anup! Anup!
00:03:06That's delightful straight. Nice timing.
00:03:09To give you an idea of how hard the pitch is, we're not putting stumps in.
00:03:14It took 20 minutes to get the stump holes made, and they have to water them then.
00:03:20That's why the stumps will be belted out of the ground.
00:03:24And now they're asking, and the umpire is also asking.
00:03:36It could be the anticlimax to win all anticlimaxes.
00:03:39Lara racing to make his ground at the striker's end.
00:03:43Richardson has called for the single.
00:03:44Lara was slow to move.
00:03:46It took a while to get rid of it.
00:03:55It took a while to get rid of it, and that was the reason Lara's not on his way back.
00:04:02Beautifully bold.
00:04:04It's given him, and Lara's not going to like that very much.
00:04:08There may be a very good reason he won't like it when we have a look at the replay.
00:04:15If I say he's reluctant to leave, I don't think that's an overstatement.
00:04:20Yes, he certainly is dragging himself off the wicket there.
00:04:29And the Indians going up very, very confidently right from the time the ball lodged in Nyan
00:04:36Mongia's gloves, and umpire Kizaru high up, raising the finger to signify that Brian Lara is out.
00:04:42That's an important wicket for India.
00:04:44West Indies, 24 for two.
00:04:48Shiv Narayan Shandapal, player walking out onto the field now.
00:04:54And Azaruddin on the attack.
00:04:56That's a nice shot from Shiv Narayan Shandapal.
00:05:00He impressed in Australia.
00:05:01He got better and better as that tour went on.
00:05:05Certainly is a very promising young batsman, Shiv Narayan Shandapal.
00:05:08Look at this shot.
00:05:09Right foot right to the pitch.
00:05:10Bat flowing through the line of the ball.
00:05:12Absolutely nothing wrong with that shot at all.
00:05:15Beautiful to play.
00:05:21Big shout.
00:05:23I guess they figured that they've got one decision out of umpire Kizaru high up.
00:05:27Why not try for two?
00:05:30On this occasion, Srinath wasn't one of the fields or one of the players that went up.
00:05:36You can see Srinath's reaction.
00:05:37He didn't bother to go.
00:05:38He didn't realise that the batsman had missed.
00:05:42But Munga, very high indeed.
00:05:51That's an excellent shot.
00:05:52Once you beat the field, it's away to the boundary.
00:05:54It's 40 for two.
00:06:08Lovely placement there from Shandapal.
00:06:15It's 47 for two.
00:06:16Well, that's one thing that is certain, and that is that Srinath will be very happy with the way he's gone.
00:06:30Right from the word go today, he's got the ball to move around off this wicket.
00:06:34That one just moving fractionally away towards the slip cordon.
00:06:38He's got it over the infield, and that'll go all the way down to the fence for four.
00:06:45Well, that's the first shot that's been played in the air, and it also brings up the 50.
00:06:51That was purposely hit over the infield, and so you can see the West Indians now have decided to push it on a bit.
00:06:57Well, the man at mid-wicket is in a catching position, and here, Sherbin Chandapal has picked his spot.
00:07:02Moment to Benkatesh Prasad.
00:07:04Angled that delivery towards middle and leg.
00:07:06He was quick to pounce on that.
00:07:08That's a magnificent shot.
00:07:11He's pulled that one away.
00:07:12It wasn't that short.
00:07:12Again to mid-wicket.
00:07:13That's the second shot that he's played in that direction.
00:07:16Another boundary this time to Chandapal.
00:07:195-4 so far.
00:07:24Again, short outside.
00:07:26All stomping.
00:07:26No big weight.
00:07:27And a slide to stumps.
00:07:29Well, the Indians hitting the stumps today.
00:07:34Chandapal was comfortably home, but another direct hit.
00:07:38Well, Chandapal here pressing the brakes just in the nick of time because it went to the best fielder in the Indian team, the captain, and he doesn't miss many.
00:07:49Luckily for Chandapal, he came back pretty quickly.
00:08:03Well, that's well played.
00:08:04Feet in the fields, but that'll go for four.
00:08:06Now, that's a better Richie Richardson cut.
00:08:08He couldn't quite get it away firmly enough square, so he simply let the ball come and nudged it away fine.
00:08:14Much better shot.
00:08:16Absolutely right, Tony.
00:08:16He was trying to hit the ball too hard in the previous over, but here he waits on it, and at the very last minute dabs down on it.
00:08:23The man that shot third man had absolutely no chance.
00:08:26That's the run rate.
00:08:28That's nudging up towards four.
00:08:35Oh, he swept that one away nicely, and it's going down to square leg, and that'll go for four.
00:08:39That's beautiful timing.
00:08:41Well played.
00:08:42Nine runs from that over.
00:08:43The West Indies are 78 for two.
00:08:45Just to the left of that water sign at the far end, you'll see a gap in the trees.
00:08:53You may think that's natural, but conservationists will be unhappy to know that it's man-made.
00:08:59Good running by Richie Richardson.
00:09:11Yes, that gap at the far end is put there specially by the people outside the ground on the balcony in the distance,
00:09:20and they had their own men in the trees just before the start of the game hacking away.
00:09:25Just to give them a decent look at it.
00:09:29Got him.
00:09:41And every person in the crowd on their feet.
00:09:47Very, very close to that line.
00:09:51Almost nothing in it, just a matter of a foot or so, but still safely taken.
00:09:59Richie Richardson didn't quite get hold of that one, was looking to hit it right over the boundary, looking for the big six.
00:10:06Didn't quite make it, and Kambly took a good catch.
00:10:10And he is happy.
00:10:11It's now nine to two for three.
00:10:19Roland Holder, the man coming out now.
00:10:22Into the 25th over, almost on the halfway mark.
00:10:29Roland Holder, who's had some form recently, and has kept his place in this West Indian side.
00:10:38All the turmoil has been out there.
00:10:40He's coming in at a crucial moment.
00:10:41And that was the one wide outside the leg stump, so it's four wides.
00:10:58Not playing, are you?
00:11:07All the few bad balls bowled by Kambly.
00:11:14Keeping away four runs.
00:11:15But he might console himself with the fact that he still has two balls to bowl to Roland Holder.
00:11:20And he's done it with that flipper.
00:11:26He's skidded that one at him.
00:11:28Holder has tried to give himself a bit of room for the stroke.
00:11:32It looked to me as though he's got a very, very thick bottom edge down onto the stumps.
00:11:38But now there's a problem for West Indies.
00:11:39It certainly is.
00:11:43That was well set up, I think, by Anil Kumbly.
00:11:47Bottom edge onto the leg stump from Roland Holder.
00:11:50West Indies lose their fourth wicket on 9-9.
00:11:56Roger Harper is the new batsman.
00:11:58Player of vast experience, though his career's been a bit up and down.
00:12:03Might be evidenced by his average there of 16.64.
00:12:07And this is why Roger Harper has to come to the wicket.
00:12:12Roland Holder, not quite reading this delivery from Anil Kumbly.
00:12:16Short, looking to play it away onto the offside, but it's the one that rushes onto the back.
00:12:22Slipping in towards him from just outside of the back.
00:12:24You can see not much spin on that delivery at all.
00:12:27The ball was meant to go straight on.
00:12:29Inside edge onto the leg stump.
00:12:32Top spinner, Ashish Kapoor, who looked pretty good to me.
00:12:35Looks like he gets a lot of overspin on the ball.
00:12:38Turns it a little as well.
00:12:42And he's got one straight away.
00:12:47Not with a ball he'll want to write to his dearest and dearest about.
00:12:53But it's produced the fifth wicket.
00:12:55A total of 99.
00:12:58And Shander Paul will be livid at that.
00:13:02As a roadie in always, a very dangerous man in that short mid-wicket position.
00:13:06Whether the ball is on the ground or in the air as this one was.
00:13:09Very good catch.
00:13:11Wasn't a particularly good delivery.
00:13:13But another wicket goes down for the West Indies.
00:13:16Still on 99.
00:13:24The World Cup cricket action is hotting up.
00:13:27And that's it.
00:13:28England win.
00:13:28A victory for Atherton's Lions.
00:13:30And with the Dutch up next, they'll only be thinking of celebrating.
00:13:33England play Holland tomorrow at 3.45 a.m. live on Sky.
00:13:4699 to 5.
00:13:47West Indies in serious trouble here.
00:13:50It's not going to affect the massive crowd in here.
00:13:54Tremendous atmosphere at the ground.
00:13:56To tell you more about that.
00:13:57And to continue the commentary.
00:13:58Tony Gregg.
00:13:59And with him is Sunil Gavishka.
00:14:03Thank you, Richie.
00:14:04Yes, they really are enjoying this now.
00:14:07The Indians have got themselves right on top in this match.
00:14:11Two quick wickets.
00:14:13Vital wickets at that.
00:14:15First, Richie Richardson, the captain.
00:14:18And then Shiv Narayan Chandapal.
00:14:21What a good catch that was too.
00:14:23Mohamed Azradin is setting a tremendous standard.
00:14:25And his side has received criticism for the standard of their fielding.
00:14:31And have a look at this cat.
00:14:32Whipped away on the onside.
00:14:33Azar went a long way to catch that one.
00:14:36And up he came with the ball.
00:14:37And that's what matters.
00:14:44One played straight down to Mid-On.
00:14:46And a fumble.
00:14:49Well, Azar will be giving him a rollicking.
00:14:51He really has set a high standard, Azradin.
00:14:53He's hit the stumps direct once.
00:14:56And he's taken the magnificent catch.
00:14:58And he doesn't need too much of this.
00:15:01Well, luckily, there wasn't an extra run from that fumble.
00:15:06But Azar must have given him a bit of a stare.
00:15:12Azar himself a superb fielder in any position.
00:15:14Courtney Oswald-Brown on strike at the moment.
00:15:19And flicking that one away nicely to the mid-wicket.
00:15:21They'll settle for one.
00:15:22Desperate fielding.
00:15:23That's well done.
00:15:23And a big cheer.
00:15:25Yes, they're getting behind there, fieldsman.
00:15:27Kapoor to the fieldsman.
00:15:28Well, yes, a few wickets going down quickly can always raise the standards because the players
00:15:35are enthusiastic.
00:15:37Don't let their heads drop.
00:15:38And that's another fine example of the Indian effort today.
00:15:41That one's short, wide of Kapoor.
00:15:45They'll get to this time now.
00:15:50In comes the throw.
00:15:56Sudhu back on the boundary at mid-on.
00:15:58Oh, and that one didn't bounce either.
00:16:14Dwenkatesh Prasad has come on very well over the last season or so.
00:16:19Holds a good leg cutter.
00:16:24You can see him rolling his fingers over the seam.
00:16:27That's what had the batsman playing down the wrong line.
00:16:31Well, no boundary off the bat for 13 overs now.
00:16:35There's four wides, but boundaries have been very hard to come by.
00:16:41And that's very well fielded again.
00:16:45And Tendorka backing up really well, too.
00:16:54Don't tell me Mohamed Azaruddin has gone and done himself
00:16:57any damage out there.
00:16:58That was a brilliant bit of fielding.
00:17:01He went down, obviously, on his knee.
00:17:04But just watch this.
00:17:06Full length he was.
00:17:09And got rid of it straight away.
00:17:10What's more important, of course, the way Tendorka backed up
00:17:15to prevent the overthrows.
00:17:16A little bit of fielding here.
00:17:29Oja Harpa looking to go straight down the ground.
00:17:33And it's come off the bat, I think.
00:17:35It's very quick work there by Mongia.
00:17:38He can't believe that it's been turned down.
00:17:40But that looked as though it got a bit of the bat.
00:17:45I think we'll have to take a very close look at this here.
00:17:48Push down the leg side.
00:17:52Not too sure exactly what it hit there,
00:17:54but it certainly did hit something on the way through.
00:17:56That's not quite timed,
00:18:06but it's hit to the right area,
00:18:08away from the fieldsman.
00:18:14Pretty big gap out there between the man at Longhorn
00:18:16and the man at the straightest mid-wicket.
00:18:19Oja Harpa found it.
00:18:20Very aggressive in the field, the Indians.
00:18:32They've obviously worked hard on that aspect of the game.
00:18:37That was a very good delivery there from Trina.
00:18:40And I think the experience he had playing in England
00:18:43last year, Ian, is what has made him
00:18:45pitch the ball up quite a bit more.
00:18:48So it's a good fielding here,
00:18:49but Harpa was safe.
00:18:53Well, this is Sreena's delivery,
00:18:55looking to turn Roger Harpa around.
00:18:57That slightly outswing movement that he got.
00:19:02The crowd, it's pretty well a capacity crowd here at Guali Ork.
00:19:08They've come along in a very festive atmosphere.
00:19:11And Roger Harpa sends Kaipur on the way with a six
00:19:19at the end of his ten overs.
00:19:24West Indies, 138 for five.
00:19:26The lights starting to disappear here now at Guali Ork.
00:19:33Around about 5.20 local time.
00:19:35The lights not taking effect yet,
00:19:38but they are certainly well and truly on.
00:19:42Have been for an hour or so.
00:19:43Oh, well bowled.
00:19:46Joachim.
00:19:47Beautifully bowled.
00:19:52Very dangerous man, this Anil Kumbl.
00:19:54Not very wise to be looking for boundaries off this man.
00:20:03That was a beautiful delivery.
00:20:05The Yorks, right under the bat,
00:20:07right in line with the stumps.
00:20:09When you miss, I hit.
00:20:11It's 1-4 to 1 for 6, the West Indies.
00:20:17Otis Gibson strides to the crease.
00:20:20He's quite a powerful man.
00:20:23Struck the ball quite well on occasions
00:20:25in the World Series competition.
00:20:28You see his best score there of 52 at the Gabba.
00:20:32And that was some pretty powerful striking in that innings.
00:20:48That is well and truly smacked into the crowd.
00:20:51That was a powerful blow.
00:20:59Otis Gibson, the man playing the shot.
00:21:01No way they could say it was a slog either.
00:21:03It went very straight.
00:21:05Just played through the line on the ball,
00:21:06kept his eyes on it,
00:21:08and hit it very, very straight indeed.
00:21:10Right beside the side screen.
00:21:12Or rather, over the side screen.
00:21:17It's a natural way to get off the mark.
00:21:18With a 6, everybody does it.
00:21:20It's 1-48 for 7.
00:21:24I'm interested in what you say
00:21:25about the West Indies team
00:21:27not being able to make a decision
00:21:28to go to Colombo, Michael,
00:21:30even if they don't get the two points here
00:21:31and then suddenly decided
00:21:33that they wanted to change their mind.
00:21:35You say that they can't go to Colombo
00:21:37because it's a bored decision.
00:21:41I was always taught
00:21:42that it is better to beg forgiveness
00:21:46than seek permission.
00:21:47Just turn up in Colombo
00:21:48and play the match
00:21:49and it's a bit late for the board then.
00:21:52Not always very wise to do that, Ian.
00:21:55I can think of a couple of occasions
00:21:57and situations
00:21:58where it's not the right idea.
00:22:00Oh, and another one.
00:22:07So the furniture is being disturbed regularly here.
00:22:11Cumbly again sneaking on to the backs
00:22:21of another West Indian batsman.
00:22:24Darker length, straight through.
00:22:26Otis Gibson looking to hit straight
00:22:27but left that gap between bat and pad.
00:22:30the ace wicket goes down for 1.49.
00:22:32Tirtley Ambrose
00:22:39just strolling out to the middle.
00:22:42This has been a commanding performance by India
00:22:44and they're not leaving the umpires
00:22:48with much work to do lately.
00:22:49It's three batsmen in a row who have been bowled.
00:22:53Anil Kumbly doing a terrific job
00:22:55here at the pavilion end.
00:22:58And this is his latest victim.
00:23:03Otis Gibson.
00:23:04Gibson playing for the leg break
00:23:05and it went straight on
00:23:06brashing into off stump.
00:23:09So that was the end of Otis
00:23:10after he clouded a six down the ground.
00:23:13West Indies in deep trouble
00:23:14as Ravi Shastri
00:23:15and Tony Gregg move into the commentary position.
00:23:18That beat the outside edge.
00:23:26They're going up for everything
00:23:27the Indians at the moment
00:23:28asking the question.
00:23:30There's no way they're going to die
00:23:31wondering out there.
00:23:32That's for sure.
00:23:34Well there was a noise here
00:23:35but obviously the bat has hit the ground
00:23:37of Ian Bishop.
00:23:39But the Indians
00:23:40have been picking wickets regularly.
00:23:44So obviously very optimistic.
00:23:48Oh what a good shot.
00:23:53He smashed that one down the ground
00:23:55and into the rope it goes.
00:23:58Well what a good shot that one was.
00:24:01I'll tell you what
00:24:01these Indians don't cheer the opposition
00:24:04too much at the moment Ravi.
00:24:05What's going on out there?
00:24:06It's a great shot.
00:24:07Oh we're quiet.
00:24:09A little bit of width there
00:24:10from Anil Kumbly
00:24:11and Kirtley Ambrose
00:24:12certainly opened his shoulders there.
00:24:14Oh and that's his leg cutter.
00:24:19That slower ball of his.
00:24:20He bowls that with a leg cutter
00:24:21action
00:24:22and it actually did go out a little bit
00:24:24and obviously went through slower.
00:24:27Well this is a ball he has developed
00:24:28over the last six months or so
00:24:30and he has used it effectively
00:24:32in the last couple of games.
00:24:33Here again you see him
00:24:34rolling those fingers across the ball
00:24:36and getting it to spin a bit.
00:24:38More importantly surprise the batsman.
00:24:41But in doing that
00:24:42is Arayat has asked for the ball.
00:24:46Yes I think the problem here is
00:24:48that the batsman is saying
00:24:50that I really am beginning to struggle
00:24:52to see this ball now.
00:24:53The surface is very white
00:24:55and that ball is blending into the surface.
00:24:58Now the question is
00:24:59will they change it?
00:25:01I suspect they probably will.
00:25:02Well Tony that's a good sign
00:25:07for the West Indian fast bowlers.
00:25:08In fact when India bat later on
00:25:10under the lights
00:25:12and the ball
00:25:15gets roughed up a bit
00:25:18it will be interesting to see
00:25:19whether the empires
00:25:20decide to change it.
00:25:21But for the moment they haven't.
00:25:23Ball has gone back to Prasad
00:25:24and Ian Bishop will be on strike.
00:25:28Yes well
00:25:29if they don't change it
00:25:30for the West Indians
00:25:32then they won't change it
00:25:33for the Indians
00:25:35when they batting.
00:25:40That's nicely played
00:25:41but straight to the fieldsman again.
00:25:42That's the difference
00:25:43between the top class players
00:25:44and the tail enders.
00:25:46He got that one away
00:25:46off the bat quite well
00:25:47but it went straight
00:25:48to the fieldsman.
00:25:54That's in the air
00:26:00and this has got to be all over.
00:26:02Yes he's gone.
00:26:03That's the end of Ambrose.
00:26:06Kumbli taking the catch.
00:26:08He tried to turn it away
00:26:09on the onside again.
00:26:10Got a front edge on the ball.
00:26:11It went looping up in the air.
00:26:14It really was a little lollipop
00:26:15for Kumbli.
00:26:16He just ran around to his left
00:26:17and took the catch.
00:26:19This is how it happened.
00:26:20Well this is the third slow ball
00:26:21in a row from Manoj Prabhakar.
00:26:23Kumbli Ambrose
00:26:25looking to play it
00:26:26on the onside
00:26:26but then that's a slow off break
00:26:28from Prabhakar.
00:26:29Kicks the leading edge
00:26:30and he'll come play
00:26:31makes no mistake.
00:26:33162 for nine.
00:26:38Courtney Walsh is the new batsman.
00:26:40He's a right hander
00:26:40and he's a very good bowler
00:26:44but unfortunately
00:26:45he's not the greatest batsman
00:26:46of all time.
00:26:47That's his average
00:26:48just over eight.
00:26:49A lot of matches
00:26:50for 259 runs.
00:26:53He's on strike at the moment.
00:26:57Right up there
00:26:58he's looking for one
00:26:59and again well fielded.
00:27:02Prabhakar went across
00:27:03the top of it
00:27:04and a fieldsman
00:27:05backing up behind him as well.
00:27:07Well this is the way
00:27:08that Ambrose got out.
00:27:10A leading edge there
00:27:11high in the air
00:27:12and no problems
00:27:13at all for Kumbli.
00:27:14Watch the ball through the air.
00:27:15Again a slow delivery
00:27:16that little off-cutter
00:27:18that Ravi Shastri
00:27:19was talking about.
00:27:25He's got that one
00:27:26away for four.
00:27:28Head up it was
00:27:29and he had a huge
00:27:30hoik towards
00:27:31deep square leg
00:27:32and didn't quite middle it
00:27:33but managed to get
00:27:34a boundary at last.
00:27:35Well Courtney Walsh
00:27:39had chosen his spot here
00:27:41intended to hit it
00:27:42over mid-wicket
00:27:42but the ball
00:27:43just didn't come
00:27:43on to the bat
00:27:44in the end
00:27:45he had to reach out
00:27:46for it
00:27:46and hit it
00:27:47through square leg.
00:27:48Over the top
00:27:54it's going down
00:27:55the ground
00:27:55this will be out
00:27:56no it won't
00:27:57over his head
00:27:57well I don't think
00:27:59he picked that up
00:28:00very well
00:28:00came charging in
00:28:01and just came in
00:28:042-5
00:28:05eventually had a jump
00:28:06up in the air
00:28:06and couldn't get
00:28:07a finger on it.
00:28:09Well this was hit
00:28:09flat by Courtney Walsh
00:28:11and like Tony Gregg
00:28:12said Sreenath
00:28:13coming in a little
00:28:14too quickly
00:28:14had problems
00:28:16sighting that ball
00:28:17and in the end
00:28:17the ball going
00:28:19over his head
00:28:20but bouncing once
00:28:21and then over
00:28:22the rope for four.
00:28:26This really is a
00:28:27good last over
00:28:27for the West Indies.
00:28:30This is the last
00:28:31ball of their
00:28:31innings now
00:28:32can they get
00:28:32one away
00:28:33another one away
00:28:34that's well bowled
00:28:36they're going to
00:28:37run anyhow
00:28:37and that's it
00:28:38they're all out
00:28:39that's well done
00:28:40Nayan Mongia
00:28:45getting that one
00:28:47rolling it along
00:28:48the ground
00:28:49and so we have
00:28:51another run out
00:28:52the West Indies
00:28:52all out
00:28:53for 173
00:28:55well they had to
00:28:56run here
00:28:57once Courtney Walsh
00:28:58missed the ball
00:28:58but Nayan Mongia
00:29:00was accurate
00:29:00with his throw
00:29:01and
00:29:02Ian Bishop
00:29:04was way out
00:29:04of his ground
00:29:05so the West Indies
00:29:06all out
00:29:06for 173
00:29:08a very good effort
00:29:09by the Indians
00:29:10disappointing effort
00:29:12that by the West Indies
00:29:13Lara may have been
00:29:14unlucky
00:29:15but for the rest
00:29:16a very average display
00:29:17only Richardson
00:29:18and Chandipur
00:29:19getting anything
00:29:19like a score
00:29:20and that total
00:29:21of 173
00:29:22all out
00:29:22seemed well below par
00:29:24from an Indian
00:29:24point of view
00:29:25of course
00:29:25it all went
00:29:26totally according
00:29:27to plan
00:29:27with Srinath
00:29:28and Kumbhle
00:29:28the pick of an
00:29:29outstanding effort
00:29:30all round
00:29:31so India need
00:29:32174 to win
00:29:33and we'll check out
00:29:34their progress
00:29:35right after this break
00:29:36oh my god
00:29:40Sky
00:29:41what have they done
00:29:42The X-Files
00:29:44see it first
00:29:45Tuesday at 9
00:29:46on Sky 1
00:30:05number of decibels
00:30:09from that rule
00:30:10would normally
00:30:11be associated
00:30:11with a 4 or 6
00:30:12but it's
00:30:13India off the mark
00:30:14bit of a streak
00:30:18is trooped
00:30:18down to third man
00:30:19there
00:30:19still get a single
00:30:30but that's a good
00:30:31save
00:30:31it's that man
00:30:36Shander Paul
00:30:36again
00:30:36excellent young
00:30:38cricketer
00:30:39that certainly
00:30:40would have gone
00:30:41before if it had
00:30:41gone past him
00:30:42very fast
00:30:43outfield
00:30:44and that is
00:30:53what the West
00:30:54Indies needed
00:30:54straight away
00:30:55Ketley Ambrose
00:30:57has found the
00:30:57inside edge
00:30:58now will that
00:31:00lift them enough
00:31:01it should do
00:31:03it's 2 for 1
00:31:04and 1 over
00:31:05is gone
00:31:06well they certainly
00:31:11needed early
00:31:12success to West
00:31:13Indies
00:31:13and this was a good
00:31:14delivery
00:31:14that perfect
00:31:16off-stumb line
00:31:16again
00:31:17Jadeja
00:31:17not really moving
00:31:18across enough
00:31:18getting an inside
00:31:19edge
00:31:20and the timber
00:31:21is disturbed
00:31:22it's 2 for 1
00:31:23India
00:31:23now Jad Sidhu
00:31:28has come out
00:31:28to join
00:31:29Session Tendoka
00:31:30then Tendoka
00:31:32will have a strike
00:31:33that was the last
00:31:34call of the over
00:31:35when Ambrose took
00:31:35the wicket
00:31:36Courtney watch
00:31:43Ambrose certainly
00:31:53looked a bit fired up
00:31:54when he went out
00:31:55there for that
00:31:55first over
00:31:56and he gave the
00:32:01West Indies exactly
00:32:02what they needed
00:32:03quick breakthrough
00:32:04that's a good shot
00:32:14classic stroke
00:32:17well anything slightly
00:32:28offline is going to
00:32:29punished by this man
00:32:30we saw him against
00:32:31Kenya
00:32:31that ball
00:32:33just tending to slip
00:32:35a bit down the
00:32:35leg side
00:32:36and put away
00:32:37for four
00:32:38you'll see nothing
00:32:52better than that
00:32:53this evening
00:32:53may not see much
00:32:56better than it
00:32:57in the rest of the
00:32:58World Cup
00:32:58that was a glorious
00:32:59stroke
00:32:59it's 13 for 1
00:33:00this is the shot
00:33:02beautiful shot
00:33:05by Tendoka
00:33:06well balanced
00:33:07on the back foot
00:33:08started to come
00:33:08forward first
00:33:09and went back
00:33:10very well balanced
00:33:11and just punched it
00:33:12straight back down
00:33:12the pitch
00:33:13350 from 100
00:33:15and put him down
00:33:19what a great effort
00:33:21but it goes down
00:33:24as a chance
00:33:24and it might be
00:33:28a rather dangerous
00:33:32one
00:33:33brilliant effort
00:33:35this by Sibna
00:33:36and Sean DePaul
00:33:37technically definitely
00:33:39a chance
00:33:39but it would have
00:33:40been a beauty
00:33:40if he had held
00:33:41on to it
00:33:41beautiful delivery
00:33:50wonderful piece
00:33:51of bowling
00:33:52from Kirtley Ambrose
00:33:53this might be
00:33:54his night
00:33:55it's not being
00:33:57Sidhu's
00:33:58nor Chideja's
00:34:00either

00:34:05well pitched up
00:34:06again
00:34:06bit of movement
00:34:07off the seam
00:34:08perfect line
00:34:09and that's the end
00:34:10of Navjot's
00:34:11thing to do
00:34:11Ambrose celebrates
00:34:14it's 15 for 2
00:34:15India

00:34:20Ambrose
00:34:24Rudin is the new
00:34:24batsman
00:34:25the Indian skipper
00:34:26made over 5000
00:34:28runs in this competition
00:34:29and although
00:34:30they're only chasing
00:34:31a small target
00:34:33this evening
00:34:33this is the man
00:34:38who's the problem
00:34:39this is the man
00:34:40who's the problem
00:34:41wonderful talent
00:34:59and Kirtley might be
00:35:03thinking the same
00:35:03thing
00:35:0424 for 2
00:35:055 overs gone
00:35:09now it's Courtney
00:35:10Walsh
00:35:10in the railway end
00:35:12well that's not where
00:35:34you bowl to
00:35:35Mohamed
00:35:35not on his legs
00:35:37when you bowl
00:35:39close to the legs
00:35:41that's what happens
00:35:41you find yourself
00:35:42being dispatched
00:35:43to the boundaries
00:35:44quite comfortably
00:35:45so how many venues
00:35:47now in India
00:35:48top class venues
00:35:50with lights
00:35:51Sonny
00:35:51Calcutta's got one
00:35:54Chandigat's
00:35:55installing lights
00:35:56Bombay's installing
00:35:57lights
00:35:58Chance here
00:36:04Keeper's getting
00:36:05under it
00:36:06oh
00:36:07what a drop
00:36:08well Ian
00:36:18if the shot was
00:36:19poor
00:36:20the catching was
00:36:22even poorer
00:36:23Spachin Pindleford
00:36:26with very little
00:36:27movement of the feet
00:36:28trying to
00:36:29pull the ball
00:36:30and here
00:36:32Courtney Brown
00:36:33making a hash
00:36:33of what should
00:36:34have been
00:36:34a simple catch
00:36:35no he wasn't
00:36:41saying a prayer
00:36:42in fact if anything
00:36:44he might have been
00:36:45doing a little bit
00:36:46of cursing
00:36:46behind those gloves
00:36:47I think part of the
00:36:52problem came
00:36:52because
00:36:53the keeper
00:36:54and the fieldsman
00:36:55involved
00:36:56were a little
00:36:58unsure of who
00:36:59was going to
00:37:00take it at first
00:37:01and it was a late
00:37:01decision
00:37:02and the keeper
00:37:04never ever got it
00:37:05in the middle
00:37:05of the gloves
00:37:06Courtney Brown
00:37:07as we're making
00:37:20them play
00:37:21that's a fine shot
00:37:25showing that he can
00:37:32play
00:37:32equally well
00:37:34on the offside
00:37:36he's very good
00:37:37on the onside
00:37:38that's a
00:37:39full-blooded
00:37:40squack
00:37:40they are very strong
00:38:02in that area
00:38:03well no problem
00:38:06no problem at all
00:38:06here for the
00:38:06little man
00:38:07an attempted
00:38:07Yorker
00:38:08from Otis Gibson
00:38:09drifting towards
00:38:10leg stump
00:38:10and Sachin
00:38:12Thindulkar
00:38:12picking up that
00:38:13gap beautifully
00:38:14on the onside
00:38:15four runs
00:38:15the moment
00:38:16it left the
00:38:16bat
00:38:17back to the
00:38:29second
00:38:30that's a good
00:38:30throw
00:38:31but Sachin Thindulkar
00:38:33was comfortably
00:38:34home
00:38:34well he really
00:38:39has run
00:38:40aggressively
00:38:40in this
00:38:40innings
00:38:41every time
00:38:42the ball
00:38:42has been
00:38:42played
00:38:43on the onside
00:38:43into the
00:38:44deep
00:38:44Thindulkar
00:38:46has been
00:38:46quick to run
00:38:47that first
00:38:48run
00:38:48quickly
00:38:48and then
00:38:49coming back
00:38:50quite comfortably
00:38:50in the end
00:38:51in spite of
00:38:51a good throw
00:38:52from the
00:38:52outfield
00:38:53harshly
00:38:59played
00:39:00short delivery

00:43:37straight into
00:43:38the hands
00:43:39of the waiting

00:43:39not a very
00:43:42good shot
00:43:42at all
00:43:43from
00:43:43Mohammed
00:43:43Azruddin
00:43:44I would have
00:43:45thought he
00:43:46would have
00:43:46tried to
00:43:46pull it
00:43:46a bit
00:43:47squareer
00:43:47but he
00:43:48hit it
00:43:48straight
00:43:48down the
00:43:49ground
00:43:49right to
00:43:50long
00:43:50on
00:43:50Courtney
00:43:51Walsh
00:43:52taking the
00:43:52catch
00:43:52it's

00:44:00hander
00:44:0194
00:44:02for
00:44:02three
00:44:03not many
00:44:04runs to
00:44:04play with
00:44:05there
00:44:05but if
00:44:06anyone
00:44:07can do
00:44:07it
00:44:07for the
00:44:07West
00:44:08Indies
00:44:08it's
00:44:08the man
00:44:09who
00:44:09picked
00:44:09up
00:44:09those
00:44:09two
00:44:10early
00:44:10wickets
00:44:10Kirtley
00:44:12Ambrose
00:44:13got
00:44:14magnificent
00:44:15out there
00:44:15even
00:44:16had
00:44:16Tendulkar
00:44:17in
00:44:17trouble
00:44:17once
00:44:18or
00:44:18twice
00:44:18and
00:44:19I reckon
00:44:20he's
00:44:20got to
00:44:21come
00:44:21back
00:44:21straight
00:44:21away
00:44:22pretty
00:44:25good

00:44:34experience
00:44:36as
00:44:36Sashin
00:44:36Tendulkar
00:44:37but
00:44:37he hasn't
00:44:39done quite
00:44:39as well
00:44:40this is
00:44:40why he's
00:44:40out there
00:44:41I think
00:44:42Mohamed
00:44:43Asarudin
00:44:43was expecting
00:44:44that ball
00:44:44perhaps to
00:44:45spin a bit
00:44:45more than
00:44:46it did
00:44:46so he
00:44:47could have
00:44:47hit it
00:44:47over the
00:44:48mid-wicket
00:44:48region
00:44:48didn't
00:44:50quite come
00:44:50into him
00:44:50as much
00:44:51as he
00:44:51thought
00:44:51and he
00:44:52ended up
00:44:52just
00:44:52pulling
00:44:53it
00:44:53to
00:44:53long
00:44:54on

00:44:55he
00:44:55had
00:44:55played
00:44:56a bad
00:44:56shot
00:44:56even
00:44:56before
00:44:57the
00:44:57ball
00:44:57had
00:44:57gotten
00:44:57there
00:44:58Courtney
00:44:59was
00:44:59taking
00:45:00the
00:45:00catch
00:45:00brilliant
00:45:12not only
00:45:18the
00:45:18bowler
00:45:18was looking
00:45:18on the
00:45:19offside
00:45:19for it
00:45:20but he
00:45:20just
00:45:20whipped
00:45:21whipped
00:45:21the
00:45:22last
00:45:22fraction
00:45:22of
00:45:23second
00:45:23with
00:45:23that
00:45:23roll
00:45:24of
00:45:24the
00:45:24wrist
00:45:24played
00:45:27that
00:45:27off
00:45:27the
00:45:27length
00:45:28certainly
00:45:29not
00:45:29the
00:45:29line
00:45:29it
00:45:29was
00:45:29well
00:45:30wide
00:45:30above
00:45:30stone
00:45:30but
00:45:31because
00:45:31it
00:45:31was
00:45:31short
00:45:32enough
00:45:32he
00:45:32just
00:45:32flicked
00:45:33it
00:45:33on to
00:45:33on to
00:45:33the
00:45:33on
00:45:33side
00:45:34he's
00:45:38got no
00:45:39throwing
00:45:40arm
00:45:40and no
00:45:43pick up
00:45:44power to
00:45:44well time to push my attendal car which has brought up the hundred for India
00:46:14good footwork there by attendal car again get into the pitch and just gently stroking it down to long on
00:46:44not too many batsmen these days you see using their feet like this for the face of the bat
00:46:52get one to the throw there back from the courtney brown
00:47:14well that's beautifully played away over the top of roger hopper's head thunders into the fence for
00:47:27four well he can play the full shot all right that was short and he smashed it and it certainly will
00:47:34do his confidence no harm at all because that's a very very positive shot the west indians believe
00:47:40and that to a certain extent they are right that pinging it in short to vinod calmly is
00:47:47causing him problems he had problems against them in the test matches but this is a very positive
00:47:53shot from vinod calmly lovely story and that one too is pulled away on the onside into the gap this time
00:48:01in front of square well he's hit one over the top of the backward square legs head before
00:48:09and that one just a little bit short again from ambrose and he's pulled him in front of square this
00:48:13time before and they are loving it i'm sure vinod calmly himself is loving it look at the way he's
00:48:18getting on to the front foot that can get him into a little bit of trouble if the ball bounces
00:48:22a little bit more than he anticipates but he's pivoting very very nicely that balance
00:48:27uh very good when he's actually connecting the ball so with those two boundaries vinod calmly must be
00:48:36feeling pretty pleased with his form well they put a fielder right in that spot now they've got three on
00:48:41the onside and that's him that's also the end of the other 119 for three
00:48:53around about 30 000 they're about sunny you reckon in the ground this evening
00:48:57yes i'd imagine so about 30 000 they've increased the capacity of this ground over the last couple
00:49:04of seasons
00:49:07all beautifully played oh that's a magnificent shot he's used his feet and he's got it through
00:49:13everybody there about three gaps he had to find there the inner circle gap and then of course the
00:49:20mid-on ran around as well just watch this timing yes also the footwork everything
00:49:27in the west indian lingo would have been sweet sweet sweet
00:49:36as you can see three men coming into the action there
00:49:38eight balls in his inning so far 49 to win tenduka on 70
00:49:59oh this is going to be a mix-up he's gone by miles it's all over yes give him out that's all
00:50:03over he's out by miles no need for a replay there he's come way down the pitch and got sent back by
00:50:11cambly that's the end of that i think he realizes it too yes i think it was really uncalled for
00:50:18it was in a sense tendulka's call because he had played the ball
00:50:23finer he knew exactly where it was there you can see that's a big blow to india
00:50:28such in tendulka run out by a fair distance
00:50:36and that is the fourth indian wicket gone for a hundred and twenty five
00:50:42one twenty five for four twenty eight point two overs have been bowled minaj trabarga is the new
00:51:00batsman he's the right hander and that's his performance so far lots and lots of experience
00:51:06two centuries eleven fifties and he's out there because the man himself has been run out roland
00:51:18hold up really did well went screaming away to his right picked it up i don't know what was going on
00:51:25out there i can only assume that cambly started to come because it was his call displayed behind square
00:51:32it was the non-striker's call he started to come tendulka came as well there must have been a stutter
00:51:39and for some reason tendulka took a long time to turn around
00:51:46let's go bold right let's see if this tells the story yes tendulka playing the ball fine
00:51:52using the turn and then asking for calmly to come down then finding him not responding
00:52:03yes i think what happened there is that i think tendulka got the no and he seemed to be saying
00:52:09come on come on it's easy let's have another look just watch his reaction here yes and i think it was
00:52:14tendulka's call because he knew exactly where the ball was going at what speed
00:52:21and considering that they have played so much cricket together
00:52:25this must be a rare case of misunderstanding between the two of them normally they don't even call
00:52:32and they just run they look at each other and they just run
00:52:35that one's played away square on the onside they'll get one here and they'll settle for one two
00:52:43well five runs and a wicket off that over a vital wicket of that 126 for four
00:52:54oh he's got him he's caught and bowled that's a vital wicket he's trying to hit the ball straight
00:52:59back down the ground and roger harper is that a nightmare just recently
00:53:03with his court and bowels has latched onto the one that mattered
00:53:07manosh probaker perhaps seeing both the mid-off and mid-on in the circle
00:53:13wanted to go for the big one but he got a little too close to the ball
00:53:16and although the ball popped out of roger harper's hands he made no mistake on the rebound
00:53:21that's the fifth indian wicket gone for 127.
00:53:25well suddenly india making it a bit more difficult than it really should be at 127 for five
00:53:36lost three wickets in fairly quick succession there
00:53:38after kirtley ambrose had taken two early wickets
00:53:51that one's got away to finally before i'm not sure whether hit anything on the way through
00:54:00well this boundary will certainly ease the pressure on the indians
00:54:03the runs weren't coming easily and moment roger harper here drifted towards leg stump
00:54:09nicely played by nyan mongya late turning the face of the blade there using his wrist
00:54:15and getting the placement right
00:54:17one suddenly senses the pressure building up
00:54:34with west indies getting those three wickets quickly especially the one of tendulkar through that run out
00:54:47that's an excellent shot that's a good strike rate in one day cricket mongya
00:54:56showing there why it's a good strike rate
00:55:03you could see otis gibson disappointed there and rightly so
00:55:08let's pitch this one on leg stump tuna and mongya and mostly these indian batsmen very strong off their legs
00:55:17that's an excellent shot
00:55:33nicely played here by the left-hander roger harper seeing calmly coming down the track
00:55:38pushes it in quicker but the only mistake here he's given a little bit of width
00:55:43tumblee's waited on it and placed it to the offside just eased it to point there four runs
00:55:57it goes over the top on this occasion no one in the outfield two successive boundaries to tumblee
00:56:04india 146 for five
00:56:05i think we're seeing uh one of the big differences in these two sides particularly that last over two
00:56:17successive fours to cambly playing the off spinner pretty well whereas the west indies struggled once
00:56:26they got down to that middle order really struggled against the spin of an el cumblee
00:56:35in fact they uh they just had no answer to the leg spinner at all whereas the
00:56:39indian batsmen handling the spin a lot better than the uh the cindy's lower order batsmen
00:56:44absolutely right here and indians not afraid to use their feet and give the spinner the charge
00:56:54this occasion here
00:56:55uh moving opening the face of the blade and picking up two important runs
00:57:07that's again nicely timed i'll take the extra run as courtney walsh can't throw
00:57:20that's the 150 up
00:57:27so after that mild hiccup when india lost three wickets
00:57:30in quick succession these two batsmen are consolidating
00:57:38so with india needing just 20 more runs for victory a victory that would take them to two
00:57:44point points in the competition crowd uh really coming alive now becoming extremely animated and the
00:57:51torches being shown almost all the way around the outer section of this ground they've been a good crowd
00:57:59they've been a full house and they've really enjoyed it they've been in a festive mood
00:58:04and i think they've really given the seal of success to uh night cricket in this part of the world
00:58:12the crowd have enjoyed themselves
00:58:16one last chance for the west indies and vinnod camley with a six
00:58:30well thirdly ambrose is welcome to the ball increase with a magnificent shot by vinod camley
00:58:36he's picked that up very quickly and smashed it in front of mid wicket for six
00:58:41oh he's volume of beamer well he's apologizing for it it's quite damp out there that is that what
00:58:56they call a hand to head that's one you don't want robbie well he apologized there to win out
00:59:02calmly good job calmly wasn't in the way because that certainly would have knocked his head off
00:59:08this one slipping out of quickly ambrose's hand and bang on target
00:59:15she richardson an extra cover that's a leg spinner that's down the ground for four
00:59:21the scores a level he picked it and just whacked it down the ground
00:59:24well the field is in and moment and mongar picked the slower one from odys gibson
00:59:38he knew exactly where he was going to hit it oh warm it off for four runs so india needing just that
00:59:45one right one run now to finish this game
00:59:49yes the may as well all coming now inside the one
00:59:53mongar on strike one run to win
00:59:58it's another ball that's it
01:00:02through for the single and india have won their second match
