Story West Indies International Season: (Current - SA tour of WI)

[SaiSrini]

Great centuries from Lara and Chanderpaul.. Chanderpaul is one of my favorite batsman along with Brian Lara from the West Indies.

Vivian Richards is one of my all time best!!!

POST LUNCH SESSION - LARA IS OUT


Well WI begin their innings after the drinks break and within a few minutes after reaching 59 Lara was dismissed by Astle.

Cozier:

Well really a shock to see Lara missing a straight one, Martin

Martin Crowe:

Well I dont know what Astle had for lunch.

Lara was disgusted with himself and cut out a sorry figure

But Chanderpaul continued to dominate the bowling as he really enjoyed his stay at the middle.

Dwayne Smith joined C'Paul at the centre and was let off by Mccullum of vettori.
I think he should caSH IN ON this oppurtunity.

Resuming their innings after tea WI have lost the wicket of Dwayne Smith and this as resulted in Bravo coming to the crease.

Bravo played poorly and scored 32 runs with 6 4's all edged and went through the slips.

In between all these C'Paul went into the 90's with a streaky shot.

Bravo who's lucky stay at the middle came to a halt in this fashion.

WI are 270-6 at 5.00 p.m with Chanderpaul with 93 and Baugh with 6 at crease

 

[SaiSrini]

[The Champ]

Baugh and C'Paul have done well so far and Baugh was gaining some confidence as he too played some fine shots.

But Soon Fleming intorduced Tuffey and he got an unplayable delivery to Baugh who tried to play on the on side and missed the movement.

WI reduced to 281-7

CHANDERPAUL SCORES HIS CENTURY

C'Paul who really to me the innings that has holded the innings together reached his hundred and looked very satisfied.

Lawson was the next wicket for the Kiwis again getting a cracking delivery from tuffey

WI reduced to 283-8

 

[The Champ]

Collymore was the next one to go as he tried to sweep the left arm spin of vettori and was caught by the fielder




Fidel Edwards batted along with C'Paul and really was gaining confidence.

END OF FIRST DAY'S PLAY


TONY COZIER:

Well we have come to the end of first day's play here and it really has been a fantastic day. Here is what WI managed at end of day 1. WI 322-9

Really a stand out innings by C'Paul.

BOB WILLIS:

Well yes truly a professional innings and really batted with the low order very well indeed. But full credit to the Kiwi bowlers for getting 9 wkts.
