00:18Well, Pakistan won the toss, and as is customary in this competition, put the opposition into bat.
00:23So we have West Indies at the crease, we join it, 66 for no wicket, and Mudassa is bowling to
00:28Gordon Greenwich.
00:33My word, he hit that hard, diving stop down there, but it's no good, it's underneath his arm, but that
00:42really was struck with tremendous force.
00:45It's a long boundary down to that Vauxhall end. Well, there you see what the West Indies boys think. It's
00:52a long way to go yet.
00:56That's the 50 for Greenwich.
01:07Warm applause for this beautiful opening back from Gordon Greenwich.
01:25Up comes the 100 for West Indies, having been put into bat by Pakistan.
01:3532 to Desmond Haynes now, 58 to Gordon Greenwich.
01:42In the air.
01:45And it's been put down there by Imran, badly misjudged.
01:58That was as close to a sitter as you can have.
02:02This will be the fifth over for Safras.
02:06But it's still the same sort of field, no slip, and designed to save runs.
02:25That's a nice piece of feeling.
02:28He's on the field for Sadiq.
02:39Haroon, and there's no way he can get that.
02:42That's a beautiful blow.
02:44Gordon Greenwich, six from a ball that wasn't all left short.
02:56And he's out, a good catch.
02:58Rather a freak piece of cricket, that.
03:02With Asif spearing it down towards the pads,
03:06and Greenwich giving himself room to move, room for the stroke.
03:14Asif directing his deliveries, just on or about legs,
03:19and Greenwich making room to pace the offside field.
03:22Just a couple of fieldsmen on the offside, getting a top edge,
03:25and a fine catch taken here by Wazim Barry to his right.
03:34Maybe 50 for Desmond Haynes.
03:43Not even a good throw from Sikanda.
03:45Can stop that.
03:46A good innings.
03:48Marjic to Richards.
03:53He's finding that gap.
03:56Jarvid Mee and Dad coming in very quickly,
03:58and they're thinking about a second,
03:59but he's too quick for them.
04:05150 for one.
04:13A good little cover drive.
04:16Not a great deal of timing,
04:18but it could just creep over the line for four.
04:20In fact, it has.
04:24Asif to Haynes.
04:29What a magnificent catch.
04:33Haynes is out caught and bowled by Asif for 65,
04:37and the West Indies have lost their second ricket,
04:40with a total of 165.
04:43Using his feet to a delivery here from Asif,
04:46not getting to the pitch and lifting it slightly,
04:51and a brilliant catch taken here by Asif.
04:53Asif.
05:00And what a sight to behold,
05:02the total like that on the ball.
05:04165 for two,
05:05and in comes one of the greatest attacking players.
05:09It's been my pleasure to watch, Clive Lloyd.
05:12And certainly the West Indian supporters here,
05:15giving him a very warm welcome.
05:21This is the 47th over now,
05:23and Imran Khan.
05:25Goal to Clive Lloyd.
05:27This will be Imran's sixth over.
05:34Nice field by Vanessa.
05:41Clive Lloyd will have to be quick.
05:46Ungainly, but satisfactory at the end.
05:53What are you doing to an old man, Vivian?
06:06Tremendous power.
06:08Behind us.
06:09Amanda Andermis field.
06:12No one's going to be very pleased with that.
06:14Out in the centre except Lloyd and Richards.
06:21So I'll see if to Lloyd.
06:25And that's safe in four runs.
06:36It's out, caught by Modasa, down at mid on.
06:40Clive Lloyd goes for 37.
06:42Caught with Modasa, that's his third wicket.
06:54That's a bit risky, no one backing up there, and no real chance of running Richards out.
07:04Richards goes to 42, one to Corus King, 2.36 for three.
07:19There he goes, and Alciva struck again.
07:23Four on the trot for Alcivicbal.
07:25Viv Richards goes for 42 in what now has become a run chase
07:30to try and get that West Indian total up to the 2.75 mark.
07:39Not a very good shot here from Richards.
07:42Seen his captain go in the same over,
07:44and attempting a wild swipe, I would say, at this delivery, I thought, at this stage.
07:522.45 for four.
07:58And that's 2.49, that's a great strike.
08:07This is the 58th over.
08:12Safraz to Coles King.
08:18His speed hits so well, it's only some ten yards away from that fieldman out there at Deep Long On.
08:24It's fairly wide, it's Harun Rashid, and he still couldn't get a hand to it.
08:28So it's four more to Coles King, in a most belligerent mood.
08:38This type of stroke that is expected this time of the innings,
08:42and Coles King just hit the ball just to the right of Harun.
08:46Deep mid-wicket, four runs.
08:49And here it goes again, but that one's in a different direction.
08:53But I still think it may go for four.
08:54No, yes it will.
08:56Harun got a hook top, but couldn't stop it.
09:00And the ball remaining this over from Imran Khan,
09:02one balling to Kalacharan.
09:12Old guard all over the place.
09:14So Kalacharan out,
09:16Gold Imran Khan for eleven,
09:18and West Indies are 2.85 for fives.
09:25Straight, fast delivery here on middle stump.
09:29Alvin Kalacharan hitting straight across the line,
09:32and getting his middle stump knocked back.
09:38Saffras.
09:44Again, it's up in the air.
09:49It's called out there by Wazan Raja, who's the 12th man.
09:53So, the end of a very good innings by Coles King,
09:56out for 34.
09:57Colt Wazan Raja, the substitute children,
10:00off the bowling of Saffras for 34.
10:02So, there you have it.
10:03The West Indies' final score,
10:05293 for six off 60-overs.
10:07In fact, they didn't lose any further wickets.
10:10Well, now we come to Pakistan's reply,
10:12launching themselves with that pretty formidable total.
10:15Indeed, they lost a very early wicket.
10:16Sadiq was out early on,
10:18and we joined the match with Majid and Zaheer at the crease.
10:20In fact, they've just passed the 50 partnership.
10:22And we have to start with Coles King,
10:24bowling to Zaheer.
10:31Superb proper drive there from Zaheer.
10:33Quite effortless.
10:43Up in the air.
10:44That could be six.
10:45It is over the line.
10:48Picked that up beautifully.
11:00Seen this from the Vauxhall end,
11:02and just watch this ball outside the leg stump.
11:05Picked up, helped on its way,
11:06right out of the meat of the bat.
11:10Croft to Majid.
11:15And that's a thin edge, and it could be four.
11:18It is.
11:27Pakistan, 99 for one.
11:31In the 27th over,
11:32and the West Indies by comparison brought up their 100
11:35in the 23rd over of the inning.
11:37So, Pakistan are not going as quickly.
11:41They do have nine wickets in hand.
11:53100 comes up.
11:55And the roars are coming from the right-hand side of the ground
11:59as we look at it.
12:00That's where the Pakistan supporters have gathered away over
12:04near the scoreboard.
12:10That's a lovely strike.
12:12This is half century, and Richard has no chance,
12:15even on two good legs, for cutting that off.
12:31109 for one, and Zaheer is on strike to Ghana.
12:45First, we get fell at 10.
12:49It's now 110 for one.
12:53Century partnership between Zaheer,
12:55wearing contact lenses these days.
12:58And Majid Khan.
13:23for the past one now.
13:25They've reached the half century mark, Majid.
13:29with that single in a total of one hundred and fourteen for one.
13:41Holding his way down at deep far naked.
13:51That was good running by Zahir,
13:55but the response wasn't there from Margit.
13:59They made it in the end.
14:00Goes to fifty-six now as I hear a seventy.
14:03One thirty-four for one.
14:07Little lucky, but it's worth four runs.
14:10And for Pakistan at the moment, anything else.
14:14We have a total required of two hundred and ninety-four.
14:20And this looks like being a real thriller.
14:22One hundred and fifty-two needed.
14:26And still twenty-seven overs to go.
14:32And that really is frustration.
14:35Double frustration.
14:38Finding the outside edge.
14:40The ball flying where it slipped should have been.
14:42And then being fumbled for four runs by the man at deep third man.
14:49One hundred and fifty for one.
14:50And we'll take him down.
14:50We'll take him down.
15:02One hundred and ninety-four.
15:04Seeing red delight.
15:04Clive Lloyd, Sahir on to 81, 150 up, 150 for one, and a very excited Pakistan contingent
15:20there, waving the flag, and quite rightly so. Sahir Abbas, the most elegant of players,
15:28who seem to keep his cool so wonderfully well, a very calm man in the crisis, and how well
15:33he's playing, Andy Roberts, and Roy swept away to finally, gets four runs, and we're going
15:49to have a change in the attack, and it's going to be somewhat disabled, Viv Richards to come
15:54on and bowl a few of his good luck spinners.
16:04There's no slip, but a short third man, a cover point, a mid-off, and a man almost straight
16:12behind the bowler's arm down here on the fence, just on the onside.
16:20And he's going to be down there, and that could be four.
16:25It is.
16:39Down the next side of the pill, he's out.
16:43In fact, he walked.
16:47So a fine innings here from Sahir, out caught by the keeper Murray from 93, off the bowling
16:54of Croft.
16:58A great innings here by Sahir, and also a great breakthrough here for West Indies.
17:05A brilliant catch down the leg side taken by Derek Murray.
17:08A ball that cut into Sahir, looking to hit past mid-wicket, got a thick inside edge, and
17:16the ball deflected down the leg side.
17:19Murray diving to his left, and getting both hands to this ball.
17:24A very good catch here by Derek Murray.
17:31This brings the new man, Haroon Rashid, onto strike to face Richards.
17:40Picked up by Calaterone, but crossed comfortably for a single.
17:50178 for two.
17:51Haroon off the mark with that single.
17:56Up in the air, he's out.
17:58So, Marjid looked a little bit impatient, and he's out.
18:01Caught by Calaterone at cover.
18:03Marjid out for a very, very good 81, and Pakistan now could be in trouble at 187 for three.
18:13Majid, looking a bit restless, trying to push the score along.
18:19A half-volley from Croft, hit straight to a short extra cover where Khalid Turan took a very easy catch.
18:27A very good knock here by Majid, he's been back in for the entire period, 43 overs, and he's really
18:34kept one end going pretty well for Pakistan.
18:37187 for three.
18:39Westeens are really back into this game.
19:07A full-length delivery here from Croft.
19:12Majid, playing back, playing back, and across, and hit Plum in front.
19:17Richards now, the off-spitter, bowing to Asif Iqbal.
19:26There's a comfortable two runs there.
19:38And that is going to be out.
19:41Oh, my goodness, he looks horrendous.
19:43And doesn't he know it?
19:53Oh, wow.
19:55That was accidental, but...
20:00It certainly didn't please the West Indians too much.
20:04I'm sorry, but Pakistan getting slightly behind again, only getting four runs off.
20:11Ghana's over.
20:12They need to get anything like seven or eight runs now in each over to catch up, really,
20:17because they can have the final flurry when the last five overs to come or so.
20:23But Asif is there.
20:24He's got a cool head.
20:25I was rather surprised to see a player to stroke when he was missed,
20:27but he's a very, very good player.
20:32And he's got it this time.
20:35He's not going to be pleased about that.
20:37It would have gone for six, but Holding this time got both hands to it and clung onto it.
20:42Maybe anyone more relieved on the ground than Michael Holding.
20:47Now Asif has gone for 17.
20:53208 for five now.
20:55And we're into the 49th over.
20:59Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd gambling with him,
21:02and he did the job for his captain.
21:12He's having another go now, and that's a better one.
21:14That's a better piece of cricket.
21:23Lovely run out there.
21:25Haroon, the man, dismissed.
21:37And he's gone.
21:38Cali Turan, and Richards is struck again.
21:43Can't count the run out for him, but he's doing a good job here today with the ball.
21:47Pulled in for variation by Clive Lloyd.
21:50And now he's had Medasso caught by Cali Turan at short mid-wicket.
21:542.21 for seven now.
21:57And West Indies steaming in for victory here.
22:07And four runs to Imran Khan.
22:162.28 for seven.
22:19Imran goes to six and Safer has one.
22:30Oh, what a marvellous piece of feeling.
22:33A super piece of cricket back.
22:36He's got a damaged leg muscle in the front of his left thigh.
22:40And yet he's pulled off with a catch that has sealed Pakistan's fate.
22:49And indeed, that extraordinary catch did just that.
22:52And the West Indies won a fine, entertaining match by 43 runs.
22:57And Gordon Greenwich was named in the end by John Edridge, the adjudicator, as man of the match.
23:012.3-1
23:032.5-5.
23:04구jon tle.
23:05Two.
23:09One.
