an excellent knock none-the-less from Hooper
he leaves with the match well in the West Indies control.... did
someone say Chandigarh?
replays show the inside edge onto the thigh then onto the stumps
45.6 Fleming to Simmons, no run, excellent inseamer onto the pads,
screaming appeal, umpire shakes his head, perhaps some bat in it
or something
