4th Test: West Indies v South Africa at St John's, 29 Apr - 3 May 2005
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

so more water, had the crew reversing to cover the pitch once
again

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

There might even have been an offer of the light to Smith and that

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

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

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.

That ends a series that started well for West Indies in the first
test with SOuth Africa getting out of jail, then two wins to seal
the series and into this 4th Test that produced more records than
sixes
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
