01:16And that's in the air.

01:17And they're well taken.

01:18Currently Ambrose, the fielder, coming in to take the catch.

01:22Rather unusual dismissal.

01:23So Corey Van Zyl failing to score.

01:26He never looked as if he was going to.

01:28Coming in rather cold into the South African team to replace Brian McMillan.

01:33And another wicket for the West Indies.

01:37Yes, another South African batsman misjudging the bumper from the West Indy fast bowler.

01:43And it's kind of just to mid off, silly mid off.

01:46Currently Ambrose is running and taking a very true 11th man hit.

01:51And luckily he got a top edge through the bacon slip position four runs.

01:55And that's the end of the match.

02:31By 107 runs.

02:33South Africa being dismissed for 180.

02:36And Richie Richardson comes off the field with...

02:40Behind the required rate.

02:42Hansi Cronje fought hard.

02:44But he was unable to score fast enough.

02:46And South Africa were all out for 180 in the 43rd over.

02:49The West Indian bowlers had so many runs behind them.

02:53That wickets were always going to fall.

02:55Under the pressure that built up on the South African batsmen.
