Final: India v West Indies at Singapore, 8 Sep 1999
Ball-by-Ball Commentary
Lara has won the toss and will decide to field
so no major change in terms of who is batting first
Lara thinks the early conditions will help his team bowling first
Tendulkar thinks he would have batted first had he won the toss
no change in the Indian team from what they fielded yesterday
the pitch is the same one as yesterday
true and good bounce, will assist disciplined medium pace and fast
bowlers
the West Indian bowlers were too wayward to start with yesterday
and they need to cut down on the extras
Indian batting, on the other hand, looks pretty shaky
no change in either teams, Walsh will bowl to Teendulkar
0.1 Walsh to Tendulkar, no run, on the middle and leg, turned slowly to
square leg. there was more pad to that than the bat
0.2 Walsh to Tendulkar, no run, outside the off, through to Jacobs
Ramesh is the partner of Tendulkar
0.3 Walsh to Tendulkar, no run, outside the off, good bounce and nice
carrythrough, to Jacobs the ball was left alone
as you may be aware, Walsh got Tendulkar yesterday
0.4 Walsh to Tendulkar, no run, on the off, coming in. Tendulkar wanted
to turn the ball to midwicket but rapped on the pads
0.5 Walsh to Tendulkar, no run, outside the off, cutting in and
bouncing, rapped on the pads but high as Tendulkar shapes to play
it to midwicket, Tendulkar still not getting the eye in
0.6 Walsh to Tendulkar, OUT: outside the off, Tendulkar flashes hard,
gets a thick edge, goes to thirdman boundary, Bryan juggled with
the ball, about 5 times and eventually caught it!

CA Walsh 1-1-0-1 - National Stadium End
S Ramesh 0* (0b)
this is a big blow for Tendulkar and India and a great start for
West Indies
Bryan was positioned just 2 yeards in front of the thirdman
boundary ropes
the ball went straight to him and he caught it with both the hands,
the ball spilled out. then Bryan kept on dribbling with the ball
with both hands, twice with his right hand, twice with his left
hand and once with both the hands and eventually caught i
