Match Preview

well for todays match i am joined by Tony Grieg. Barry Richards, Tony Cozier and Ravi Shatri
currently with me in the studio now are Barry Richards and Tony Cozier
well Barry south africa have got off to a perfect start to this series by winning the opener.
Barry- Yes mark they have gained alot of confidence from the match against india and they know not to under estimate the west indes
Mark- well barry this match will kind a be advantage for the west indes because south africa just played india yesterday and now they have to play the west indes one day later.
Barry- yes the south african were not too keen with both matches a day after the other. so i do agree with south africans would be tired yesterday from playing india and west indes have a big advantage.
Mark- well let me say a very warm welcome to Tony Cozier.
well Tony how do you rate the west indes chances to day against a team who won yesterday very convincingly.
Tony- well mark this one will be a test for the west indes but theyll be happy that they have a strong squad with the likes of lara, sarwan and gayle.
Mark- well the west indes do have a good record against south africa in south africa do you think this will help the tony.
Tony- yes i certainly do west indes have a good record here they beat south africa in the opener of the world cup
Mark- well lets hear from the other tony in the commentary box about what he thinks todya match will produce for the fans.
Tony- well here are two points of views
1. if your either the south african or west indes fans you want your team to do well
2. if your a neutral you will want so see a cracker today from both sides giving their all.
i agree with number 2 i dont want to see a one sideded match like how it was yesterday between south africa and india.
Mark- yes Tony we all agree with you on that one.
Interview
well lets head to ravi shastri who is with umpire simon taufel
Ravi- thank you Mark i am here with umpire simon taufel.
simon there is going to be a huge atmosphere here from both sets of fans. does that become intimdating when umpiring.
Simon- well sometimes it does if you make the wrong decision the crowd can be lethal with and it can cause to make bad decisions.
Ravi- well you recently won the award for best umpire of the year.
Simon- i was really happy at that and hopefully i can continue makling correct decisions.
Ravi- ok back to you mark.
Mark- Well guys let quickly discuss the toss and who should do what when they win the toss.
Tony Cozier- yes mark this is a 2nd day johannessburg wicket. so again same as yesterday it will seam and swing in the early overs but turn into a batsmen paradise later on, but however this match is a day night match and the team batting last will find it almost impossible to bat. so even though this is a seaming wicket. i would bat here first
Mark- ok before the coin toss lets quickly take a break. dont go away.
