Good night all
Match State: Stumps - Day 2
Welcome to the start of Day 3 of the 5th and final Test between
West Indies and South Africa brought to you by CricInfo
A session very important to both teams, South Africa need quick
wickets to get back into the game, while West Indies will be
trying to consolidate their lead
Ten wickets in hand and a lead of 118 puts them in a commanding
position
The West Indies bowlers bowled the best they have all series,
disciplined and let the RSA matsmmen make the mistakes
The pitch that was supposed to have been the best of all 5 grounds
for the batsmen has so far produced 400 runs at the cost of 20
wickets, will today bring the same results ?

West Indies to applaud the South African team
I hope your retirement Courtney will be an inspiration to all

We wanted to do well and worked hard to get to this and the work

We showed that we still have fight and heart and this can only
improve in the future

played for in all home and away series between the two teams

must congratulate the West Indies in the way they played here and
in the series
We now turn to the ODI's and that should be an entertaining series
Courtney Walsh comes up to collect a cheque for US 20,000 for the
wickets he took for West Indies during his career
Works out at US 40.00 per wicket
When I got the record was very special to me but today was also a
special day
The guys I played against and with, I thank them and wish them all
the best
I am now going to rest, play golf and spend some time with my
family ... Thanks you very much all
