[The Champ]

Well the Fifth and Final tests tommorrrow in this very ground Kensington Oval and the only worry for me is the amount of rain it has had for the last 2 days.


Fortunately there has been no rain today and the ground staff are working in full flow and I do hope we will start the match in time tommorrow if dont have any more rain. Well the Pitch has been kept well covered dont worry guys.

COIN TOSS

TONY COZIER:

Well lets join Michael Holding for the pitch report.

Michael Holding:

Well it looks a fine pitch, doesnt look like a one which was under covers for long time, will ease out in moisturre before start. Looks a good one to bat and better to bowl first on this one. Its upto the Captains to decide

 

[m_vaughan]

Good coverage there mate. Also a nice wicket that should play out well the entire length of this test match.

Ya!, as usual the rain plays the spoil-sport in barbados!,

COIN TOSS FOR THE FIFTH TEST:


TONY COZIER:

Well lets join Bob Willis and 2 captains for the coin toss.

BOB WILLIS:

Well i have both the captains and match refree, Fleming is abt to toss the coin and the call is for heads and heads it is. So Shiv first match as captain and u have won the first toss, whats ur decision.

CHANPAUL:

Well its all of Almighties blessings i am out here and do like to serve my country well, As for as now we would like to bowl first looks a bit damp and outfield isnt great, as for as team we have a unchanged eleven.



FLEMING:

Well bit of toss that i wouldnt have wished to win any time, better we stuck it out there, hope to put a big score on the board, Bond is missing so is Cairns and Paaps, Butler comes in for Bond, Marshall comes in for Paaps

BOB WILLIS:

Back to u Tony Cozier, WI are fielding first
