00:00They could play again under the lights at the Wanderers.
00:02It was reduced to a 28 overs a side game,
00:05which meant the West Indies had got off to a terrible start.
00:08Very slow indeed.
00:09We'll pick up the action then in the fourth over of their innings
00:13and commentary will come from Robin Jackman and Dave Richardson.
00:26Pulled away by Chander Paul, no doubt about that.
00:28For the first boundary of the match, obviously.
00:34Good shot.
00:38It's a brilliant shot because L. Worthy is no medium pacer
00:42and skidding on to him, but he's so quickly into position.
00:45You see it comes off right off the sweet spot of the bat.
00:58In the air and out, Rhodes, the catcher.
01:01Extra bounce for Mel Worthy.
01:05I think just a little skinny the pitch too from the moisture underneath the covers.
01:10So South Africa strike in the very first over after the resumption.
01:15Well, I feel sorry for Wallace because he had very little chance here.
01:18I mean, this just climbed on him, took the shoulder of the bat,
01:20came on to him very quickly and perhaps playing a little bit low,
01:24but certainly not much chance with that delivery.
01:27Simple catch in the end for Jonti.
01:32So Philo Wallace gone for three.
01:34Court Rhodes, Boldell Worthy, off just 11 deliveries.
01:38West Indies, nine for one.
01:41Nixon McLean is the man who's coming in.
01:49That looked as if he must have nicked it,
01:50but that just shows you how much movement is there.
01:54Yes, I think if Pogner could take this wicket
01:56in these conditions around with him for the rest of his career,
02:00he'd be pretty...
02:01He never even got within three inches of it in the end.
02:03It just went like an off-break.
02:07Nixon McLean has come in at number three.
02:10Rather surprisingly, there's no pedigree to talk of.
02:13The average is under four.
02:15Had five innings in Monday, internationals.
02:19David Richardson was saying earlier, these will be leg buys.
02:23He didn't think he would come in.
02:25Rather keep him until the ball was a bit softer.
02:27It's a new thing in case the new ball.
02:29A restricted game.
02:30Surely Brian Lara, the better player,
02:32must be the better man at the crease.
02:38From the golf course end.
02:43Pulled away in the air and good enough.
02:46Over the rope for six.
02:54Well, Steve Earlworthy,
02:55you would have seen what kind of lift he got
02:57with just bowling short of a length.
02:59And naughty of him going a little bit short,
03:01but Chandra Paul quickly onto it,
03:03and he gets enough bat on it to clear the fine leg.
03:06Which is a big hit to the Wanderers.
03:07It's a long boundary.
03:10It's crucial for South Africa
03:14that Earlworthy gets his line right.
03:16He's not got it right to the left-hander.
03:23That didn't bounce,
03:24but Chandra Paul played it really well,
03:26and I think he's going to get four for it.
03:28Yes, he is.
03:34Well, he probably didn't quite middle it
03:36as he would have liked.
03:38But still got enough bat on it,
03:40and I mean, this is good batting
03:42because, as we said earlier,
03:44the ball is skidding onto the batsman,
03:46and he's still been able to hit it in front of square.
03:50It's a good effort.
03:56Full toss.
04:00Really difficult to score off.
04:02Now, above waist high
04:06is not legal.
04:08That's what we're looking at.
04:09That's where his waistline is.
04:15Well, it's shut.
04:29Four more to Chandra Paul.
04:31Another full toss.
04:33So that's three knee-to-thigh-high full tosses
04:37in a row from Earlworthy.
04:39Perhaps it can slip once,
04:41maybe even twice,
04:42but three in a row.
04:43I hope he hasn't lost it in a little bit.
04:49Yorker length.
04:50It's past Chandra Paul.
04:59And he bowls the more of a length ball,
05:02and Chandra Paul just stands there
05:03and smashes it back over his head.
05:06Outstanding shot.
05:0635 for one.
05:14Oh, what about that?
05:17Nixon McLean makes contact.
05:22And there's no doubt that Sean Pollock does it to seem more often
05:26than the likes of Lance Klusner and Steve Elworthy.
05:30And this may just be to the liking of Nixon McLean,
05:33but still a great hit.
05:35Clean hit.
05:45So, he's four not out or five balls.
05:47That's fine.
05:54That's passed him for pace.
05:56And you consider that the fifth ball,
05:57a leg by, did result.
06:01Quick ball this from Klusner.
06:04Yes, going across the left-hander,
06:06but also a little bit of movement away
06:09with the seam.
06:10That's what you've got to try and do,
06:11hit the seam.
06:13Well, just sort of straight.
06:22Out, Klusner.
06:25Klusner strikes.
06:28Well, Nixon McLean doesn't think he's out.
06:33He doesn't want to go.
06:34It's going to take a tractor to get him off there.
06:36And it's very low catch.
06:37Look, Jark Klus to his right.
06:39So, Nixon McLean quite in his rights to stand.
06:41And the umpires are now calling for the third umpire
06:44to make a decision.
06:53Klus.
07:00Looks pretty good to me.
07:01The hands look shut underneath the ball.
07:03It goes, did it go out of his hand and back in again?
07:06Is that what maybe has caused the Konstanasi?
07:13And he says,
07:21Fanny Becker, the third umpire.
07:23Nixon McLean out for four.
07:24That one boundary we saw just now smashed back over Midoff's head.
07:29West Indies, 39 for two.
07:33Brian Larkins.
07:35Brilliantly caught by Jonti Rhodes and Gerrard.
07:39My goodness, man, suddenly Klusner is on a hat-trick.
07:47Well, just typical of those two cricketers.
07:50Lance Klusner, one day he can get hit all over the park.
07:54As you saw his pedigree, five and over.
07:56And the next day he can take five for nothing.
07:59And of course, Jonti Rhodes, well, what more can you say?
08:04How's this for a catch?
08:05He's hit it pretty firmly.
08:07Two Rhodes is left.
08:09Oh, brilliant.
08:11Absolutely brilliant.
08:13Now what?
08:15Maybe he gets two hands to it,
08:16but I mean, the normal guy would have been just lunging away to his left with one hand,
08:20and everyone would have said,
08:21well, you've got a few fingertips to that bad luck.
08:32So Lara out for nought,
08:35as indicated by that horrible little duck with the green hat on.
08:39And West Indies, 39 for three.
08:50That was the hat-trick ball.
08:53I wondered if he might search for the Yorker.
08:57He's got some movement back into Karl Hooper.
09:07Hooper off the mark.
09:12And the end of the over.
09:21Boucher takes it,
09:22and Elworthy appeals.
09:25Chandder Paul stands there.
09:28And the umpire saying nothing other than having to walk rather a long way
09:31to give Elworthy his sweater.
09:35So all that for nothing.
09:3641 for three.
09:38Here we go.
09:41No, it's not a full toss for starters.
09:45Oh.
09:46Well, it's out.
09:46Nine to five.
09:47Caught behind.
09:48What a catch.
09:50Well, he'll be very disappointed with that, Mark Boucher.
10:02Yes, all sorts of strange happenings.
10:06Here with the West Indies now moving on to 43 for three.
10:14Got.
10:15Well, he had to pull his hand out of the way there.
10:18Self-preservation more than anything else.
10:20Because that was firmly struck by Chandder Paul.
10:22He's only a little man, but he does time the ball well.
10:25And he's hit some firm strokes this evening.
10:27Raises the West Indies 50 with that fierce hit back past Kluzner.
10:33Yeah, this is his usual shot, really, to play somewhat slightly from off to leg side.
10:38And then you can see the outfield that's had a bit of rain.
10:41There's a moisture coming off as the ball trips along.
10:45He not bothered Chandder Paul.
10:46It went for four.
10:47That's all that matters.
10:50He's gone to 32.
10:5353 from just the 42 deliveries.
11:00That's a real wallop.
11:02Well, this is another side to Chandder Paul, who we see every now and again.
11:06And in the circumstances, he's playing a magnificent innings for the West Indies.
11:12Yeah, just a bit of improvisation.
11:15Good eye, really.
11:18I'm afraid it's that sort of game, 28 overs, that anything goes.
11:22Just get some wood on it.
11:24Don't think too much about your left elbow and where your front foot is.
11:28Just whop it.
11:37Very fine indeed.
11:39Just drifting down the leg side and well played by Hooper.
11:42Flicked it away for four.
11:49Well, he probably wasn't trying to get it too fine.
11:51He was trying to flip it.
11:53He tries to flip it behind square leg.
11:55But he'll take it.
11:58And he said, you need that slice of Loki, definitely.
12:04Just wide of the slip fielder.
12:07Dabbing it down.
12:09And we'll come back for two.
12:18Hesitation.
12:20Bancar, the last.
12:22Hooper coming through.
12:25Sliding home.
12:26South Africans don't seem that animated.
12:30I thought he might have made it.
12:32It's always difficult when a good bit of feeling like this, you hit the stump.
12:36There's always a danger that a direct hit is going to get you out.
12:40But I thought he might just make it and he has.
12:43It was good cricket all round.
12:46The backing up by the bowler was excellent.
12:48Cali's got back very quickly from his follow-through.
12:54Everything was top-class.
13:02Chipped back over his head.
13:03They'll come for a second.
13:06And at the end of the 16th, over the West Indies, have now moved on to 74 for three.
13:12Oh, he's gone for a second.
13:14Hooper, and that'll go out the ground.
13:21Well, if he'd just placed his fielder a few rows back, he would have been in business.
13:25But this is the danger with Hooper.
13:27He really has confidence against the spinners.
13:29And he's prepared to go over the top and take the fielder on.
13:33Got to get it a little bit fuller so that he just can't get underneath it.
13:37That's an incredible shot.
13:38He's got tremendous shoulder power and such a clean hitter.
13:46Absolutely huge.
13:55They'll take one.
13:56They might push for a second.
13:57Klusner off the boundary, but he'll leave it to Simcox.
14:00That's unusual.
14:02And they take two.
14:08Oh, he really fired that, and it bounced as well.
14:12And a bit of turn.
14:13And to complete the picture, well taken.
14:23Yes, that got up nice and sharply.
14:25Well taken by the keeper.
14:29Very good effort by these two.
14:31Very important partnership.
14:32So easy to lose too many wickets, even in a shortened game.
14:36And get yourself into these two of these wickets, whilst maintaining a very good run rate.
14:43Oh, that's what bowled.
14:45Trouble, trouble at the keeper's end.
14:47This will be the end of Chandapal.
14:50Simcox reacts quickly.
14:52Hooper doesn't.
14:53Chandapal is out.
14:54But the West Indies lose their fourth wickets with a score on 92.
14:58And it's the key man who opened the innings.
15:01Chandapal gone for 45.
15:03Very good wicket for South Africa.
15:06Nothing slows the overrate better than a wicket.
15:10And Pat Simcox does well.
15:12He reacts quickly.
15:13And Mark Boucher as well takes an awkward bounce.
15:17Cleanly.
15:17And that's all he needed to do.
15:20So Chandapal goes.
15:22Very important innings.
15:2545 and 60 balls.
15:26With a 6 and 6 4s.
15:28West Indies 92 for 4.
15:34Atherton 92 matches.
15:37A modest average of 28.
15:45And it's Atherton off the mark.
15:47Might even look for a second.
15:49They'll get it, I think, in the end.
15:52Gibbs down a deep cover.
16:00That's the clipped.
16:05That'll bring the 100 up.
16:13Driven beautifully by Hooper.
16:15He's picked the gap on the offside.
16:17And found the boundary.
16:19Exquisite.
16:28All about placement and balance.
16:31Not favoring the back foot.
16:32Hanging back.
16:33His weight is going into the ball.
16:48Oh, he could be caught here as well.
16:50It's in the air down to third man.
16:52And it's held.
16:53No.
16:54Dropped it.
16:57Kirsten down at third man.
16:59Thought for a moment he'd hung on to it.
17:01But bounces over the boundary rope.
17:04And I don't think he saw much of that, Gary Kirsten.
17:07End of the over, 115 for 4.
17:17Now they'll look for a second.
17:20Come back for it.
17:21Coming to hurry.
17:23He's very fast, Keith Arthurton.
17:25But is he fast enough?
17:27The body language often tells you.
17:29South Africa are looking not overexcited.
17:33Atherton looks pretty cool.
17:37And invariably, you know when you're in.
17:43And he looks like he probably is safe.
17:47He's very fast.
17:49Even though he hesitated slightly on the turn.
17:53Here is the breaking of the stumps.
17:56And it's, well, touch and go.
18:00It is touch and go.
18:02It's so difficult to do.
18:03Let's have a look here.
18:11Well, he's given him in here.
18:13There is a little bit of doubt.
18:14And the umpire, if there is doubt,
18:16rarely has to give the decision in favor of the batsman.
18:26No, he hasn't middled it quite.
18:34It takes Carl Hooper to 50 in just 54 balls.
18:41130 for four.
18:46That's a cracking shot.
18:48What a great shot.
18:49Now, the sweeper back there, Pollock furious.
18:53He gets a reaction from Simcox.
18:58Simcox had a yard and a half to go.
19:00He hit that hard.
19:00142 for four.
19:08Lovely straight hit.
19:10Wow, Hooper is playing a high-class innings here.
19:17I've not seen him hit the ball this hard before.
19:19I've not seen him play many one-day innings.
19:22He's always been a stroker of the ball to me
19:24when I've seen him in test cricket.
19:25But this is vicious stuff.
19:29There's still good strokes.
19:31Such power.
19:39That's smashed away by Arthurton.
19:41Full toss from Cronier.
19:53So we've had 11 runs plus the leg by in this over.
19:56A big one for the West Indies.
19:57Here's the last ball.
20:02Oh, yeah, I'm sure there'll be an apology there.
20:06It's hit him straight in the back of the knee.
20:09Yeah.
20:10See, it goes over to him and...
20:13Still hurts, though, I guess.
20:15So, the West Indies' innings closes at 154 for four.
20:2028 overs bowled.
20:24Well, when you consider they only scored three runs off the first three overs they faced,
20:29and the fact that the pitch was so lively, batting was very difficult.
20:32That's a pretty good score at the end of it.
20:35154 for four, and that innings by Hooper.
20:39He didn't start that quickly, but wow.
20:4166 off 61, and a good sensible supporting role from Keith Arthurton to Antoine Chandler.
20:47Very, very brisk 40 overs early on.
20:50That's a pretty good score by the West Indies.
20:53A quick look at the bowling.
20:54Pollock was the pick of the bowlers.
20:55A little bit unlucky, but only 20 runs off his six overs there.
20:59Nancy Cronier might have thought, well, maybe he shouldn't have bowled at the end.
21:02He went for 19 off two.
21:04But it was a lively track, and I suppose you'd have to say Pollock and Elworthy were the best of
21:10them.
21:10Now, I should have to tell you here that the South Africans were penalized
21:14because they bowled a bit too slowly, so there was a revised target for them.
21:19They would only have 27 overs in which to reach a target which had been increased to 160.
21:25So they need 160 off 27 overs.
21:28We'll take a break and come back with their reply.
21:43Quick single, and they'll get it.
21:45And they'll get a second as well.
21:50Arthurton at backwards square leg, the fielder.
21:57Oh, he's gone for that.
21:58Gibbs, and it's troubled.
22:01One bounce for four.
22:04Yes, he's decided that, look, some of the balls, it's all good.
22:08But he's going to get out, so if he gets anything to hit, he's going to clatter it.
22:13And he might have the right idea.
22:16Get what you can while you're in.
22:20Terrific shot off the front foot.
22:28Oh, beautiful delivery.
22:30Well, it deserved the wicket, that over.
22:32As good as you'll get.
22:33Three bold, nine for naught.
22:40Oh, he's pulled that away over mid-wicket.
22:43And that's four more to Gibbs.
22:45He doubles his score, and South Africa go to 13.
22:51Well, this is just a good eye, really.
22:56He's just taking a chance.
22:58Just fancies it outside off still.
23:00Goes for the pull off the front foot.
23:03And smashed it over mid-wicket.
23:06You've got to admire his approach, because he's been beaten by anything that's nearly full.
23:11But anything that's a fraction short, he's hit.
23:14And he's only got two short, and he's hit both for four.
23:18That's it by Kirsten, not from the middle, but a chase for the team.
23:24They're coming for the third.
23:27And we'll get there with ease.
23:30And you have these small targets.
23:34Every second counts in the field.
23:3717 for no wicket after four.
23:47And that is the result of some very good bowling, some good catching.
23:53And Gibbs looking to run the ball away down to third man.
23:57Took a blow in the ribs, which I think unsettled him early in the innings.
24:02But he has struck a...
24:05It's a very good wicket for the West Indies, because Gibbs can hit boundaries.
24:12And that's a blow for South Africa.
24:15A lot of shot-makers to come, though.
24:17It's going to be an interesting game.
24:21Hooper the catcher, as usual.
24:24Very good catcher he is, too.
24:25Herschel Gibbs then, 10 runs from 17 deliveries.
24:29Caught Hooper, bowled Ambrose.
24:30South Africa, 20 for one.
24:36Charcullis, 52 matches.
24:391,600 runs at an average of 40.
24:44South Africa, and Kirsten's got away.
24:47Got that away for four.
24:56Yes, and the bowler dragging the ball down there.
24:59Looking at the footholds now as if he's slipped a little bit.
25:02Now that's...
25:03We all do.
25:14Only one.
25:16Yeah, I feel, David, that with...
25:20Ah, that'll be two now.
25:279,600 has gone.
25:2927 for one.
25:33Oh, what a fabulous delivery.
25:46Well, Kirsten will be excused her eye, smile.
25:53Well, it's good running if he gets in.
25:56And it did go to Atherton's...
25:58But he had to run around it a bit to get it into his throwing hand.
26:05That's a good putt if it goes in.
26:09Atherton makes a huge difference for the West Indies in the field.
26:18Out, Kourmetan.
26:20Kirsten goes.
26:22King strikes.
26:23As do the West Indies.
26:29Well, there's a renewed spirit out there, it would seem.
26:32King looks slightly shocked about it all.
26:36But really, the rest of them, there's more smiles around on all the bases.
26:43And really, they look as if they believe they can't win.
26:47Kirsten being frustrated, goes for the big hit.
26:50But pays the penalty.
26:55Gary Kirsten, 12 from 20 deliveries.
26:59South Africa, 28 for two in the eighth over.
27:04I think that's a...
27:05I think it's about right that the order hasn't changed.
27:07It's Cullinan at the crease.
27:11Fair old record.
27:12He's averaging 36 in...
27:16He's 102nd one day.
27:24He's a four-way down.
27:28He's called for the replay.
27:31Keith Atherton has hit the stumps with a direct throw.
27:36And umpire Lampson is called for the third umpire's assistance.
27:42Well, I've seen a lot of Keith Atherton like you, Tony.
27:45He's a good fielder.
27:46I've got the impression Daryl Cullinan was sort of jogging along.
27:49He wasn't taking it too seriously.
27:51Yep, that's why.
27:53He felt he was sort of home.
27:55Not quite as easily as he thought he was.
27:58As you can see.
28:00But I think he thought he was going to make it comfortably.
28:03He didn't look as if he was making a really strong effort to get in.
28:14Smashed away.
28:15That's a remarkable shot down the ground.
28:18A flat batted hit right back past the ball over four.
28:21That's eased a bit of the tension for South Africa.
28:25Well, it's such a gentler type of bowling.
28:28Medium, medium, slow.
28:30And it gives him a little bit more time.
28:32Danced down the pitch.
28:34Flat batted back over his head.
28:36This could be the key to the outcome of this match.
28:38As well as Kirtley Ambrose's bowl.
28:40The quality of the second string bowling.
28:43Could be what makes it easy.
28:46For or easier for South Africa.
28:57Well taken.
28:58Very well taken.
29:00Brilliant catch again.
29:00I'm not sure that Jacobs is all that certain that he's taken it.
29:04But he'll ask.
29:05And once more.
29:06The umpire will have to come into it.
29:08And that was magnificently taken.
29:11Well, he took it really well.
29:12Now whether it just bounced him.
29:14Caught it.
29:15Only the TV replay will tell.
29:18Calis is right to stand.
29:19I would do the same.
29:21The umpires make the decision.
29:23There's no doubt that we keep a got here.
29:25But did he bounce?
29:28That looks as if it could be out.
29:30I'd like to just see that again for sure.
29:33It looked pretty good.
29:36And Darren Ganga watching it there in the dressing room.
29:38Reckons he's got it.
29:41And I think I agree with you, Jeff, that he has.
29:43The umpire says he's out.
29:46That's another wonderful catch by Ridley Jacobs.
29:55Raises a finger.
29:56And that's yet another quite stunning catch by Ridley Jacobs.
30:01The Westin is man of the series in the tests.
30:04And now showing once again his agility, his anticipation, and his glove work.
30:10So three wickets down, Calis goes for eight.
30:14That's when he's an African captain.
30:16A lot to do for him.
30:19Rate required now has gone all the way up to 7.8 and over.
30:25And under it is Chandapal.
30:28Comfortable catch.
30:29Semple gets his first wicket in one day to Nationals.
30:32And the West Indies are jubilant.
30:3549 for four.
30:38Well, Darrell Cullinolm will rule that.
30:41It's put South Africa in a little bit of trouble here.
30:43I know they've got a long batting line-up, but even so.
30:46Four down this early on, on a not-too-easy pitch against Seymour's.
30:53Simple catch there.
30:54Just spooned it up in the air.
30:56Just hit it.
30:56It didn't seem to think about where the fielder was.
31:00And I think South Africa have got a little bit of trouble here at 49.
31:04But if anyone in this side can do it, Rhodes and Cronje can.
31:11Bolden!
31:12And that is a crucial blow.
31:15McLean gets some reward for an excellent length, he's bold.
31:18And Rhodes' brave innings ends.
31:22He made 30.
31:24And South Africa 112 for five.
31:27Great little knock from Jonte Rhodes and McLean, as you say.
31:31The extra pace, I think, is what undoes Jonte Rhodes here.
31:37Trying to head across the line just once too often.
31:39The extra pace beats him.
31:41But a great little innings from him.
31:4330 of only 25 balls.
31:47And, well, still a lot of batting to come.
31:50McGarroll still got a ball, his three overs.
31:52An interesting game.
31:56Sean Pollock is the new man for South Africa.
32:04Catch him now!
32:06Catch in the outfield.
32:09Easily taken.
32:11So McGarroll gets the wicket of the South African captain.
32:15Keith Semple is out there, holds it in.
32:19And the West Indies have picked up a very vital wicket.
32:24In fact, two in very quick succession.
32:27And they might feel now that that's about the game.
32:31Well, they call them big wickets when they get somebody out like this,
32:35who's a very good player of spinners.
32:37But this stage of the game, to get two new batsmen in,
32:41Zankron, you're out.
32:43That just could sway the game in West Indies' favour
32:47because they were beginning to get under real pressure.
32:511-1-4 for six.
32:531-1-4.
33:02Sean Pollock in strike.
33:11Arthur Dundle the fielder after it.
33:13Comfortable two.
33:17Almost two runs a ball.
33:19Cut off the boundaries, that's the key.
33:21Ball straight, if the batsman misses, you hit.
33:28Now, will they come for the second?
33:30They'll try it.
33:31The return is on the way.
33:32He's gone.
33:33Direct hit.
33:35The West Indies are doing it tonight.
33:37That's the second direct hit in the over.
33:39While the first one was close, I think this one is gone.
33:42And Pollock realises it.
33:44Yeah, I think he's gone here.
33:45I think everybody in the ground knows.
33:50Just held their nerve.
33:51They have to go for suicide runs.
33:53They need two runs a ball.
33:54You know, they've no choice.
33:57The bowl is bowl full.
33:58They're not going to get boundaries.
33:59And that's what suicide running does.
34:02If you get direct hits.
34:08Such a difficult job late in the order.
34:12No time to play yourself in.
34:25One, two, three, four, seven.
34:29Well, young voucher.
34:31Yeah, I think that's what he's got to do.
34:32He's got to play all his shots.
34:34Play himself in as he walks to the middle.
34:36Because he hasn't got time for any sighters.
34:39He's got to play the innings of his life.
34:41He's South Africa.
34:42They're going to get home here.
34:47Cut away.
34:49Very strong after back foot.
34:52We'll just make it to the boundary.
34:54That's an important for Mark Voucher.
35:00Immediately makes an impression.
35:09He's got that away.
35:22Well, we all know what a dangerous hitter he is.
35:26I'm sorry to say it.
35:28Cannot give him room.
35:29Look at the length.
35:31That's a good length delivery.
35:32You can't do that at this stage of the game.
35:49Well, that's a shot.
35:51Waste of full cost.
35:54That's pressure.
35:59In the air.
36:00That's one for six.
36:01That's a huge blow by Kuznä.
36:04Now, is that the match?
36:07Well, this should be game second match.
36:09You've got the best of all worlds.
36:14Whack it for six.
36:15And you make that 12 runs in the over look easy.
36:19See, it's a length ball.
36:20Again, you can't ball length balls.
36:24Right, surely Brian Lara, Carl Hooper
36:26have paid enough one-day matches
36:28to go up to McGarrel and say,
36:30this is what I wanted a ball.
36:32I don't care what you think.
36:34This is what I wanted a ball.
36:36Right in the block hole.
36:41He's caught.
36:42He's caught.
36:44Ambrose takes the catch.
36:47South Africa still need another run to win the match.
36:51There's one ball remaining.
36:53One run to win.
36:57Well, he's lucky to get a wicket with that delivery as we've got to.
37:01Look how short it is.
37:02It was a nice catch.
37:04Went very sharp, did that.
37:06Kirtley caught it easy.
37:07But it went very quickly.
37:12Got a nice little innings there.
37:14Doesn't sound a lot.
37:15Ten, does it?
37:16In the context of the match.
37:17Excellent little knock.
37:191-5-9 for eight.
37:21And big Pat Simpots comes in with one run needed to win.
37:26The scores are level.
37:28But the target for South Africa means that if he doesn't get a runoff this last ball,
37:33the West Indies will win.
37:48South Africa win the first match of the one-day series.
37:55And the West Indies will go off the field feeling very deflated indeed.
38:02They've had a very, very difficult time on this tour of South Africa.
38:08And they must have felt at one stage this evening that at last we'd seen some light at the end
38:15of the tunnel,
38:16that victory at last was going to be theirs.
38:18Not so.
38:21You have to say, really, that the West Indies lost that rather than South Africa winning it.
38:25But nonetheless, brilliant performances down the end.
38:28Lance Klusner, 27 off 14.
38:30His partnership with Boucher was worth 36 valuable runs.
38:34They really did well at the end there.
38:36Jonty Rhodes with a brisk 30 off 25.
38:39The South Africans are professionals.
38:41We know that much.
38:42And they did the job.
38:43And I suppose you have to say for the West Indies, well, inexperience came through there.
38:47Poor Neil McGarrel entrusted with keeping it tight at the end there.
38:52He couldn't quite do it.
38:53Nixon McLean started well, but then faded desperately in that penultimate over.
38:58And look at the great work done early on by Ambrose and Rion King.
39:01They surely thought they'd set up a victory for their side, but it wasn't to be.
39:05I love it.
