Ball-by-Ball Commentary


Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 10.05am local time (2.05pm GMT)

       Welcome to the Antigua Recreation Ground in St Johns for the start
        of the fourth and final Test between West Indies and South Africa
       A ground that holds very fond memories for Brian Lara having scored
        both his first record of 375 and then 10 years later the 400*
        against England
       19 Tests have been played here with the highest score being 751/5
        dec, 19 innings have been above 400 and only 7 under 200
       These two teams have only met here once and that was a win for
        South Africa
       At the moment it is partly cloudy with a temperature in the mid
        eighties
       The weather prediction says a few showers for all 5 days, but then
        we have seen that before
       West Indies have Deonarine in for R Hinds and Best in for King,
        while Pollock comes in for Nel who has a back strain
       The pitch looks nice and flat and almost tailor made for the
        batsmen, it is hard and has a bit of grass, but will have made the
        batsmen happy
       South Africa have won the toss and will bat first
       Late news is that Edwards has an injury and is replaced by
        Washington
       De Villiers to take strike from Powell
   0.1 Powell to de Villiers, no run, line and length, over the wicket,
        half forward defending to the off
   0.2 Powell to de Villiers, no run, just on the off, on length, going
        away, well left, good carry

        just outside off, pushed controlled into the gap at cover point
   0.4 Powell to Smith, no run, full on the off, gets well forward and

        gently to cover, quick run taken
   0.6 Powell to de Villiers, no run, line and length, gets half forward,

Match State: Drinks

       excellent start for South Africa, batting at nearly 5 per over in
        the first hour
       West Indies bowlers tended to be a bit full in the session and have
        paid the price
       The tall Washington the only one hitting the right areas at the
        moment

       Umpires have had another chat and decided that it is raining too
        hard
       Off they go again

Match State: Delay - Day 1 - Rain

       Lots of comments coming in about the West Indies attack, but we
        must remember that this is a good batting pitch and was a good
        toss to win
       It has produced a lot of runs in the past and by the looks of it,
        it is going to produce quite a few again
       Covers off and player back again
  23.2 Hinds to de Villiers, one run, outside off, gets forward, chops it
        down to 3rd man
  23.3 Hinds to Smith, no run, outside off, forward, pushed into the ocver

        gully, no third man and 50 for him
  23.5 Hinds to Smith, two runs, outside off, reaches for it on the drive,
        thick edge wide of 3rd man now posted
  23.6 Hinds to Smith, FOUR, outside off, back, chops down on it, very
        late, runs fine of third man, Best does well to get to it, but his
        foot touches the rope

       in the meantime the rain has them off the field again
       Covers on once again
       Frustrating now to haveone low cloud over the pitch and blue skies
        away in the distance
       The D J doing a good job to keep the crowd entertained as they jive
        to the music
       Covers got half way off the pitch, when the cloud decided to dump
        so more water, had the crew reversing to cover the pitch once
        again
       Now it is bucketing down, and we might be in for a longer wait
       Covers are still on at 14:00 - 18:00 GMT
       The rain has stopped but the outfield is a bit wet, tea is being
        taken at the moment, and the umpires will decide if it is dry
        enough to play

Match State: Delay - Day 1 - Wet Outfield - 15:00 (19:00 GMT)

       The sun is out so every chance of us getting some play later
       There is a lot of water underfoot in the outfield and fairly soggy

       Umpires having a look at the weather again as it starts to rain
        lightly again
       The light meter is out there
  48.4 Washington to de Villiers, one run, worked off the legs to fine leg
       There might even have been an offer of the light to Smith and that
        was declined
  48.5 Washington to Smith, no run, short outside off, back to pull,
        straight at midwicket
       and now it is realy raining, and off the go
       Play has not been called off, with the rain having almost stopped,
        but the light has got worse, so the chances of any further play is
        slim
       The rain has started belting down again, with the South African
        non-playing members in the rain for some fitness traing, Hall,
        Langeveldt and the fitness trainer
       So a good day for South Africa, and not so good for the West Indies
        bowlers and thesmall crowd will be disappointed with the rain
       A very good batting pitch that will have to change a lot for a
        result to come out of the next five days. It is flat and almost
        giving no help to the bowlers
       West Indies threw away two run out chances, one from Hinds who
        missed the underarm throw from about five meters and the other
        with Deonarine dropping a Lara return and both time SMith well
        short of his ground
       For the rest the ball hardly beat the bat and thanks to a slow
        outfield South Africa were restricted to 214 with loss
       Rain has been predicted for everyday so the outlook with the
        weather and the pitch look fairly grim for a result
       The umpires have decided that play can not continue so that is
        stumps on day 1
       Hopefully you will be back tomorrow at the start, from Keith, good
        night

Match State: Stumps - Day 2

       Thanks for spending this time with www.cricinfo.com, and please
        have a look at the bulletins and let us know what you think at
        .../commentary.html
       We will be back for the start of day 3 tomorrow and hope you will
        be back
       From Keith, good night all
       Welcome from Keith and cricinfo for the start of day three of this
        the 4th and last test.
       South Africa became the 11th team to register four hundreds in an
        innings
       Kallis became South Africa's leading Test run scorer and also now
        has the most hundreds by a South African
       This 5th wicket partnership is also a record for South Africa
        against any team
       So records for South Africa and still no news of any declaration.
       The pitch on day two was nearly as flat as on day 1 except for the
        odd ball that stayed low. Batsmen have also mentioned that the
        older the ball gets, the slower it comes onto the bat
       Players coming out and South Africa will bat on
       104 overs wait for us today, with Powell to bowl the first of them
 147.1 Powell to Kallis, no run, starts short of length, on the middle,
        back and worked to square leg
 147.2 Powell to Kallis, no run, short of length, too straight, half
        forward and nudged behind square leg
 147.3 Powell to Kallis, no run, leg stump line, angle takes it further
        down the leg, left alone with only one slip and a deep gully
        waiting on the off
 147.4 Powell to Kallis, no run, well forward on the off, defensive push
        towards cover
 147.5 Powell to Kallis, no run, great ball, starts outside off, cuts back

        his breath away for a bit there

        cover

        into one of timed drives, delicate cuts, and some controlled
        batting

       Man of the Match will surely be Chris Gayle for that magnificent
        317
       Man of the Series could go to de Villiers for two hundreds a 50 and
        460 runs, Chanderpaul with two hundreds a fifty and 450 runs, Nel
        and Ntini both with 17 wickets
       My vote goes to Graeme Smith for three hundreds a 50 and 505 runs
        in the series
       As we wait for the presentations please make use of the news and
        bulletins on www.cricinfo.com where we will
        as soon as we hear publish whatever happened between Smith and
        Hinds at the end of the game
       My feeling is that there will be a meeting with the match ref with
        the outcome on the site as soon as possible
       The first ODI starts at 13:35 GMT on Saturday the 7th and we will
        be here to bring it to you
       The Man of the Match has gone to Chris Gayle for that 317
       The Man of the Series has gone to Graeme Smith
       He wins a 4x4 vehicle and a cheque for $ 5,000.00
       That completes the coverage and from me Keith and Cricinfo, good
        night all
