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

[The Champ]

Fleming in the very next over drived a wide one safe into the hands of Bravo of Edwards and WI were very much jubiliant. NZ were 120-5

Styris looked solid at the other end

The man inform and man of the series so far Cairns walked into the middle and didnt lost long, and was out lbw, guess who the bowler is and yes it is Powell NZ were 139-6

Defeat stared at the faces of the KIWi

 

[The Champ]

After cairns was out WI were on top this is just a formality as Cairns as been the chief destroyer, Now Styris and Mccullem have to bat sensibily to put NZ past the target.

They both can do that and Styris was in superb form driving and forcing singles and doubles and Mccullum was very much defensive.

At close on day 3 these two guided NZ to a strong position with Styris with 40* and Mccullum with 20* were at the crease

NZ were 196-6 at close of the day

 

[The Champ]

Tony Cozier: Well NZ r on top here and i think they r going to be victorious, with Styris such a good form.

Ian Smith: Well very played styris and i hope Nz r on top and or very well on course to victory.

Cozier: Well thats it for the day do join us for the fourth day and i think the match will be over by the morning session. bye good night, sweet dreams.

 

[borncricketer]

going to be a tight game...Wi have to bowl excellently to get the rest 4 wickets.... and i think Newzealand will take thier time to reach the target

 

[m_vaughan]

I change my word. I now reckon the Windies will win this one. But Powell is the man again for the Windies.

 

[The Champ]

Fourth Day starts

Well the fourth begins amis lots of speculation that WI r going to lose and NZ with to settled batsman are going to take this game home.

After resuming and adding few runs Mccullum goes for a hook and results in a skier. Jacobs calls the catch is his and takes it well.

THe score now is 199-7

 

[The Champ]

Vettori joins styris and duo takes the total past 200 runs.

Surprisingly vettori looks nerves and doesnt looks the same vetttori we all know.

Inbetween all that styris reaches a well complied 50 and doesnt even reacts to it, with the job in hand.

 

[The Champ]

Nothing went for the WI ways and lara introduced spin at both end and surprisingly didnt call Powell, instead he called up Sarwan and gayle.

Sarwan bowled Vettori with a fine delivey and WI were right back in the game.

 

[The Champ]

Tuffey joined Styris and soon the partnership looked threatning as styris played some glorious shot to take NZ closer to the target.

 

[The Champ]

NZ went past the 250 mark and the ground was filled with tension with everbody hoping for a great finish.

Lara, Sarwan and Chanderpaul had key meetings and decided to continue with spinners.

Gayle this time produced the wicket tuffey played for the wrong length and was bowled.

Score now is 257-9

 

[The Champ]

Bond joins styris for the last wicket and when sarwan bowled bond round his legs WI have won a great victory by 2 runs

Yes NZ were bowled out for 260 runs with styris unbeaten for 91

What a win!, What a match for the audience, great victory for WI

 

[The Champ]

Tony Cozier: Well what a finish to the game and what a game it was, seesaw battle between the two teams and finally WI emerge victors by 2 runs.

Martin Crowe: Well i dont believe my eyes, the sceens i am seeing here, the ground is filled with the huge crowd.

 

[m_vaughan]

Brilliant stuff. A valiant 91 from Styris, but in vain.
Congrats the Windies!
