Match State: Delay - Day 1 - Rain
Well that came from nowhere, locals saying it wont last
Covers are out
Take this moment to visit www.cricinfo.com and read the
bulletin on this match
or send us your comments from www.cricinfo.com/co
mmentary.html
David has sent us some interesting comments with regards the
current player contracts
Steve has reminded us that it rains in Guyana 365 days of the year
Mark is hoping that RSA are back on the way up
Patrick is not happy with the WI selections
And yes Valmiki, Hinds was put down by Gibbs at gully off
Langeveldt, a difficult chance
Covers coming off again, so should be under way in about 5 to 10
minutes
The crowd is still rather small as compared to previous first day
crowds in Georgetown
Some rain has seeped through the covers and is being sponged up at
the moment, no real concern, but worrying if a little rain like
this gets through
Umpires having a good look at the wet spots, might be a problem for
the left handers
Not realy acceptable for a test venue is it
three umpires and five ground staff out there now
Umpires still looking at the wet spots, not big spots, but enough
to worry the left handers
Thanks for all your comments, interesting to see the for and
against comments re the WI players, poll running at about 50:50 at
the moment

Umpires go and have a talk, look at the meter, light offered and
accepted
That may be it for today as Smith accepts and off they go
Maybe a silly declaration by Chanderpaul, knowing that the light
was fading
South AFrica were always going to accept the first offer and so it
turned out
Another good day for West Indies and three days to come
Tomorrow we will see what the SOuth AFricans can do on the pitch
and whether the West Indies bowlers will get anything more out of
the pitch
So an early start tomorrow, see you then

Match State: Tea - Day 3
So 12 overs, 44 runs, sounds good, but add 4 wickets and South
Africa under the hammer
Was it poor South AFrican bowling, or great West Indies batting, or
is this another pitch, my feelings are that SOuth AFrica have been
outplayed for 2.5 days
Let us know what you think at www.cricinfo.com/co
mmentary.html
We will be back in 15 minutes
Some nice commnets in about the West Indies playing with heart and
enjpying it, while the South Africans are the ones expecting an
easy game and bumping there heads
lots of praise from you about the positives that Chanderpaul brings
to the team
One to note, the South Africans have approached the game in a
"Kallis"way, excuse the pun
and then the one, "Windies are smoking"
So into the last session, 34 overs to go, and the weather looks
fine

Umpires now having a chat with Chanderpaul having put a quick
bowler on
Long chat but eventually they offer the light and no hesitation
from Boucher
Another good day for West Indies, maybe their best of the three
days
For South Africa a bit of a fight back from de Villiers, and a very
brave and gutsy innings from Mark Boucher, something that the rest
of the team can learn from
The chances of us getting back on here are very slim, so until
tomorrow I bid you good night

Match State: Tea - Day 4
Good session for RSA, and four more to go, West Indies, well my
feeling is that they wont be pleased with some of the bowlers
lines, but lets see what you have been saying
Lots of mails in and lots agree that West Indies should be more
attacking and making the batsmen play more
Some interesting aspects about RSA, and many feel that this is true
Test cricket, one side facing defeat fighting back not to lose the
first Test of the series
Humorous comment from Jason "RSA should send Pollock a get well
card
Some agree that RSA have nothing else to play for here but the
draw, and the longer they occupy the crease the closer they get to
that goal, runs mean nothing, occupation of the crease does
Comment in about RSA game plan maybe killing the enthusiasm of
cricket .... Have we seen far too much one-day cricket and
forgotten the real cricket ... Test cricket, 5 days of skill
against skill
Does the present position make Test cricket any less exciting ?

South Africa with Gary Kirsten

players applauding the Kallis 100

Sheperd looks to Chanderpaul and says, "Is that it", Chanderpaul
shakes the head and thats it
Players shakes hands and a disappointed Chanderpaul comes forward
to shake hands with Kallis and Boucher
A Test that had its moments and could have gone only one way with a
day to go.
The West Indies had batted and bowled themselves into a great
winning position, but a very very very flat pitch and some
determined batting from SOuth Africa and especially Kallis took
the win away from them
It has been a joy spending thses five days with you out there and
looking forward to the second Test
