00:00well we talked about this pitch it's got two patchy areas where the grass has not
00:05got rolled in it looks flat and dry it is a little sprinkling of water you see
00:11those tufty areas they're on the right of your screen there's the tufty bits
00:14coming through each day they'll grow and they'll have to be cut pitch itself is
00:19quite dry with just a sprinkling of water yesterday evening and that's where the
00:24odd little bit of well movement a little bit of bounce I don't think you're gonna
00:28get a lot of you
00:34the ground staff say there are four pitches in Barbados two of them and belting
00:41batting pitches this is one of them but it just looks funny with those patches
00:46the patches do look unusual usually you get a really flat surface it's all the
00:53same all the 22 yards this has two very funny patches
00:59he's gone West Indies have lost both openers now and Sherwin Campbell has the indignity of being
01:09dismissed for a duck in his first test in the West Indies so the West Indies in real trouble here and
01:16Australian flags are flying high well that was a beauty I don't think you can blame Sherwin
01:22Campbell for that it was a beautiful delivery full marks to the ball look at
01:26the bounce the line is bowling here just outside of stump you've got to play it's
01:30right in that corridor where you must play at it because if that ball nips back
01:34you're in trouble it's bounced look it's held its line just left him a touch and he's nicked it
01:40he's been good enough to nick it and the bowler takes full marks to a classic delivery the
01:46delivery you're not looking for is an opening batsman two for five so the West Indies have
01:52lost both opening batsmen their youngsters have gone and in the circumstances Richie
01:58if you get experienced bowlers like rifle bowling a little bit of bounce here lovely line it's just
02:05a good ball it's just the early movement the hardness of the ball a little touch of moisture in the pitch
02:16you're bound to get that the ground stuff are always going to spring
