Match Presentation
Mark- well here i am for the match presentation, and i must say what a match all together our Match referee Clive Loyd has annouced that 5 records were broken in todays match. staggering.
Here are the records:-
1. 1st Ever Double Century in One Day International Cricket- By H Gibbs
2. Highest Individual Innings ever- By H Gibbs 206
3. Highest ever 1st Wicket Partnership- By G Smith & H Gibbs 301 Runs
4. 4 Centuries in a ODI Match- By- W Hinds-109, R Sarwan-158, G Smith-117 & H Gibbs 206
5. Highest ever succesful Run Chase- By South Africa- 343 Runs
Mark- There was only one Candidate for Man Of The Match and that was H Gibbs for his Record Breaking 206 runs. I would like to call Herschelle for his award.
Here you go herschelle you win the man of the match award, champagne and a check for 15,000 Rand
So Herschelle what can you tell us about your Innings?
Herschelle- I was very determined to make a big contribution today after yesterdays match against India i only made 1 and i was very disappointed with that. also today after the West Indies made 342 Runs i was determined to win this for South Africa and in the 1st over the ball came onto the bat nicely and from there i just played my natural game.
Mark- well Herschelle how surprised where you about this pitch?
Herschelle- i think everybody in this ground today was very surprised. everybody said that this will be a good sporting wicket for both batsmen and bowlers and they said it will become more friendly for bowlers as the day went on. but from the start the pitch didnt have anything for the bowlers ands thats when we knew whatever the west indies make we can chase it. i was very surprised i thought i would only see this type of wicket in India. we were also lucky if we played india today they maybe could of made 400+ runs on this wicket with thier batting talent.
Mark- ok thank you herschelle and a great innings.
Next i would like to call losing capatin Brian Lara
So Brian a very hard wicket to bowl on
Brian- yes we made a very good challenging total and we bowled very well aswell i couldnt ask anymore from my guys today. the pitch really confused everyone and well done to Herschelle Gibbs for scoring the highest runs.
Mark- ok brian weve played 2 matches now both at johannesburg the next time were back here is when the final of this series begins. your next opponent is india how will you adapt if you play a match against india on another wicket like this?
Brian- Thats a good question if we played on another wicket like this against india then i think that these 5 records broken today will be rewritten, but weve played our only match in Johannesburg and now we move onto different grounds. so i truly do think this pitch was just a one off because why would the south africans prepare a pitch like this for us and india? i am quite sure all the over wickets in south africa will favour the bowlers.
Mark- ok thanks brian lets head over to ravi shastri who is with South African Fast Bolwer Shaun Pollock.
Ravi- yes mark im here with shaun pollock
so shaun just give us an idea how it felt bowling on this pitch.
Shaun- well it felt like if you bowled anywhere even good length you would be hit for 4. unfortunaltey Makahya was hit for 91 runs but he wont be affcted by this.
Ravi- so will the other wickets in south africa be traditional south african wickets and favour the bolwers.
Shaun- i most certainly hope so we do not want to be bowling on a wicket like this at the likes of the indians.
Ravi- hahah. anyways thanks shaun back to you mark
Mark- well what days play a day that favoured records to be broken.
our Next match is South Africa v India at newlands, cape town on january the 19th do not miss it. from all of us in johannsebry byebye

Match Preview
South Africa V India
Welcome To Newlands, Capetown
Mark- hi and welcome to the 3rd match in this series between india and south africa at newlands capetown. lets hope we see some entertaing cricket as we saw two days ago.
Joining me for todays play is tony Grieg, ravi shastri, barry richards and alan donald. currently here with me in the studio is tony grieg.
well tony south africa are in full throttle in this series they have beaten both west indes and india in the opening 2 games and if they win their next 2 they automatically reach the finals.
Tony- yes south africa are full of confidence espescially in the match between the west indes. i fancy them to beat india today.
Mark- what about the indian team how do you think their chances are.
Tony- well i think if south africa get early wickets india might not reach a challeging total to challenge the south africans.
mark- indian captain sourav ganguly and vv laxman look in good nick they both scored 50s in their last match
Tony- yes i think it will come down to one of these 2 players and rahul dravid to help india onto a challengin target. sachin tendulkar has looked out of nik for me in the last 2 months and virender sehwag hasnt performed well on seaming wickets. yuvraj singh looks like he needs match practice
Mark- what about the indian bowlers how well do you think they will compete on this pitch.
Tony- well it will seam and swing for any bowler like at always does at newlands.
Mark- lastly who will win this
Tony- im putting my money on south africa again
mark- well your predictions so far in this series have been right lets wait and see today
Tony- (giggles)
Mark- join us after the break with ravi shatri at the toss.
