Today was one of those days where even throwing the ball to Bart King couldn't solve everything for ROTW, as Graeme Pollock, AB de Villiers and Jimmy Sinclair made good use of the batting-friendly conditions to score half-centuries. Instead, it was Afghan leggie Rashid Khan who impressed with figures of 5 for 124 after having bowled tirelessly for 38 overs. South Africa finished with a total of 451 and a lead of sizeable lead of 158.

ROTW were bowled out for just 210 in response, setting South Africa a paltry target of 53 with two sessions remaining in the match. They might not have needed to bat again with Hugh Tayfield bowling the way he was, but for a defiant 40 from Bart King who finally provided a glimpse of his batting ability after having aggregated only 26 runs from his last five innings.

Bowling first wasn't a particularly bad call by New Zealand considering the ball was moving around, which helped them get all three of Arthur Morris, Bob Simpson and Don Bradman quite early. That's when they ran into a solid brick wall in the form of Steven Smith and Allan Border, who would go on to add 167 runs for the 4th wicket to put Australia back on track. The former scored a brilliant 140 off 340 balls and the latter 90 off 198 balls, as a New Zealand bowling attack missing Shane Bond appeared powerless for a period lasting almost 65 overs before they finally managed to remove Border just ten short of a century. Australia finished with a very impressive 439 for their first innings.

With the exception of Bert Sutcliffe, none of the New Zealand batsmen could really hang on to post substantial scores. They folded for 256 and conceded a 183-run lead to Australia, with Charlie Turner (seated right) claiming 4 for 61 while Glenn McGrath and Richie Benaud claimed three apiece.

It's not every day that you see another batsman upstage Don Bradman, which is exactly what Steven Smith did in the first innings. But Bradman would have none of it in the second innings, where he proved his superiority over all other batsmen with a magnificent unbeaten 150 off 234 balls. Smith meanwhile brought up his second ton of the match and added a massive 267-run partnership with the former, thereby well and truly burying New Zealand under a massive lead of 520.

Scoring runs off Sri Lanka's prolific spin duo of Muttiah Muralitharan and Rangana Herath was no easy task on a turning SSC pitch. Still, one had to give Dave Houghton and Zimbabwe credit for trying.

Sri Lanka on the other hand couldn't stop piling on the runs. Zimbabwe, despite starting well had the misfortune of running into Mahela Jayawardene at the one venue on planet earth where he is absolutely invincible. He eased his way to a quickfire century, whilst Aravinda de Silva added a century of his own and helped Sri Lanka to a total of 553.

Fighting half-centuries from Murray Goodwin, Brendan Taylor, Heath Streak and Graeme Cremer saved Zimbabwe from the ignominy of losing by an innings, but only just. Now it's just a matter of bowling Sri Lanka out for the lowest Test score ever.

Tillakaratne Dilshan fell to that fearsome new ball bowler Hamilton Masakadza for just 9. But other than that, Sri Lanka had no trouble chasing down their target of 18.

It was close to impossible to beat Sri Lanka on a turning track. Could have done better with the ball.

 

[Targaryen]

All the departments were fantastic with their respective performances. Need to win the next couple of games to get qualified for playoffs.

On a truly vile pitch at the Queen's Park Oval, even Ireland's seemingly innocuous medium-paced bowling attack were made to look threatening. Garry Sobers rose up to the occasion with a very well played 81; the next highest score in the lineup being 42 by George Headley who finally managed to get himself out of a terrible rut and enter double figures for the first time in six innings.

Being one of the few men in the Irish lineup who could bat with surety on such wickets, Tom Horan braved the likes of Joel Garner, Malcolm Marshall and Courtney Walsh to score 84 off 152 balls. His innings saved Ireland from the ignominy of being bowled out under 100 which looked quite possible at one stage. Instead, they would go on to post 224.

England's top-order failed to convert their starts, falling to Anil Kumble and Vinoo Mankad for scores ranging between 15 and 35. They finished with a slightly underwhelming first innings total of 256 thanks mainly to a couple of eye catching fifties from Ken Barrington and KS Ranjitsinhji in the middle-order.

India finished with a lead of exactly 100, which could have been more if not for the brilliance of Graeme Swann who claimed 5 for 95 from 41 overs. Like England, they too failed to convert fifties into hundreds. Perhaps the most frustrating of all was how Rahul Dravid, a player renowned for his skills of concentration took off for a needless single and got himself run out for 72.

England fared much better with the bat in the second innings. Ironically it was KS Ranjitsinhji, an Indian who did most of the run scoring for them as he dominated the Indian bowling attack during his classy innings of 130. They had set India a challenging target of 245 with a day remaining in the match. It will be interesting to see if India actually go after their target or take the safe option of playing out a draw.

While the likes of Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar appeared to be in the mood for a draw, Kapil Dev seemed to have other ideas. His unbeaten 49 off 50 balls very nearly pulled it off for India, only for them to run out of time in a rather tense finish and fall just 2 runs short in an extremely eerie twist of fate. It was only too similar to a match that had taken place between India and the West Indies some years previously at this very venue.

[Akshay.]

Oh so close to getting a win
For 2 runs we lost 11 points

 

[Morphed]

I knew Ranjitsinhi being of Indian origin would be very useful in India and replaced Gower who got out to Kapil 5 times to him.

 

[Morphed]

But a draw in India Vs India is a truly big deal,proud of the fight we shown

 

[Aislabie]

I'm okay with that result for Ireland; a couple of excellent individual performances in a fixture that we were really always likely to lose. And now we can get back to full strength for the next game

Bangladesh didn't fare too badly with the bat, but the inability of their batsmen to carry on after scoring attractive 40s and 50s proved to be their undoing on a very flat surface. Habibul Bashar, Mushfiqur Rahim, Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan all fell for scores ranging between 46 and 53.

Pakistan posted 476 despite a brief middle-order stutter where they lost Javed Miandad, Javed Burki and Sarfraz Ahmed quite cheaply. Having a deep batting lineup all the way down to Abdul Qadir at No 10 paid dividends after a strong start by Zaheer Abbas who continued to excel in his role as an opener despite being a predominantly top/middle-order player. A half-century will also provide some consolation to Qadir following a string of average performances in his day job as a leg spinner.

Bangladesh batted with spirit yet again, but could only set Pakistan a target of 165. Habibul Bashar and Mushfiqur Rahim scored elegant fifties, and so did Minhajul Abedin - considered by many to be their greatest ever non-Test player.
