Adams plays without a face visor, lots of people gathering around
him now, and he's going off retired hurt

and now, ho hum, the crowd start a riot
glass bottles are being pelted onto the field, there's broken glass
about, the Australians walk off, Steve Waugh's head nearly gets
knocked off by a bottle, he sublimely starts to shout something at
the crowd
crowd are chanting "We want Campbell, We want Campbell".... that's
funny I don't recall any shouts of "We want Bevan, we want Bevan"
earlier today
crowd riots are so passe
full credit to Julian - it was a perfect Aussie Rules shepherd
still lots of garbage on the field, hard to tell if we'll have a
resumption or if the game will be abandoned or even (admittedly a
more unlikely event) Australia being awarded the game
what we need Azharuddin and Tendulkar on the field, they're the
trouble-shooters with the experience in calming down these
explosive situations
the troublesome stand is now launching into a rendition of some
song, a few dozen people and officials standing on the field for
no particular reason, most eyes are on referee Raman Subba Row,
who's the man with the power to decide where this match from here
Match State: Crowd ignorance stopped play
Subba Row is meeting with the 3 umpires in the middle of the
ground, they have to balance up the options of risking an injury
to the Australia players or risking the crowd going berserk if
they abandon the match
Somehow I don't think Subba Row can declare *this* match a tie
the President of the Barbados Cricket Association is on the PA and
has handed the microphone to Gary Sobers who announces that the
Australians and the umpires have decided to let Campbell return to
the crease and resume his innings
well, that's just dandy - give the crowd what they want.
match will resume in 10 minutes at 4:30pm (2030 GMT)

West Indies won by 8 wickets with 18 balls remaining on the D/L
method
cricket may have been the loser today, but don't forget Carl Hooper
retired
the 7-ODI series finishes tied at 3-3.It's been quite a tiresome
and dull series with little in terms of cricketing highlights.
Time will show the only memorable events to be the behavior of the
crowd here and in Guyana
the trophy is a massive ugly piece of work, and will be shared
between the two teams. No doubt they'll fight over who doesn't get
to keep it.
presentations coming up, plus man of the match, man of the series,
and perhaps even a crowd of the series award
Steve Waugh at the presentations: "3 each seems a pretty fair
result... a little bit disappointed with the results... [did he
enjoy the tour?] yes and no"
Jimmy Adams: "[the injury] wasn't too bad.... there was some hard
cricket, but look at some sections where we didn't play as well as
we should've"
the captains shake hands and pose for a photo in front of the
trophy, which looks like a zombie hand coming out of the grave
holding a cricket ball
Man of the match is Sherwin Campbell, perhaps for his good innings,
perhaps in fear of the crowd rioting again
Man of the series candidates: Bevan, Warne and Campbell... the
adjudicator is taking an eon with his explanation... and he
eventually announces it goes to Campbell. Nothing more for the
crowd to riot about today then.
and so ends another boring presentation, and another boring ODI
series... that's it for international cricket until the World Cup.
Good day from CI.
