00:00Stackpole.
00:02Oh, and that's got to be pretty close.
00:04Ball not bouncing very much at all.
00:07Coming off the outside of Medassa's pad.
00:10That'll be leg buys.
00:11Must have been very, very close.
00:14That was a very confident shout from the West Indies.
00:16They thought Medassa had shuffled across far enough,
00:19and he did go across a long way.
00:22Both teams have played four games.
00:26This is a pretty important game for Pakistan.
00:30And that's gone back in the air, just short of Wayne Daniel.
00:36Winston Davis just beats Richard Gabriel to the ball.
00:44Really good running between the wickets then by Mohsen Khan.
00:48Daniel to Medassa.
00:51That's a good shot from Medassa, picking that one off his toes,
00:54going with the swing.
00:57And once again, it'll be three.
01:00Holding to Medassa Nassar.
01:04Medassa very strong off the pads.
01:07He's already picked up a three in that area.
01:10We'll get two for that shot.
01:11Well, that's got to be very close.
01:20Yes, Bruce Martin has a good long look.
01:23And finally, Michael Holding has got the LBW he's been looking for.
01:26Well, if the Pakistan players have been watching the replays,
01:30they should sum up from it that you've got to come forward today.
01:33There's no way known can you play back like that and expect to get away with it.
01:37We've seen several near close LBW decisions.
01:40And finally, Bruce Martin are judging one of the batsmen to be hit in front.
01:44So Medassa out.
01:44LBW to Michael Holding.
01:46And Pakistan, one for 16.
01:51Daniel to Moshin Khan.
01:53That's a good shot from Moshin.
01:57Pretty well timed.
01:59Richie Richardson stretching out a right after that one.
02:02So maybe it was just a twinge in the hamstring.
02:06He really got after that one at full stretch.
02:10He's got a little problem on his hands here.
02:12If he's leading batsman.
02:13Richie Richardson has just disappeared from the ground.
02:16He thought that he may have done something to his right hamstring.
02:21That's even worse for Vivian.
02:23Down it goes.
02:23And I won't say it was a straightforward chance,
02:26but it wasn't all that difficult for a man of Richard's capabilities.
02:30Now, Vivian Richards normally catches these.
02:32He's standing up there a little bit,
02:33having to go down and got it in both hands,
02:36but really the ball.
02:38And seem to hit those hands the way it normally does
02:41when they're nicked to him at slip.
02:45Moshin Khan is on 10.
02:46He's not been having a good trot recently,
02:48but he's struggling out there.
02:50Wayne Daniel is the bowler.
02:54And he's gone.
02:56That's another wicket for West Indies.
02:58Tremendous performance now by Vivian Richards and his team.
03:03Mansur Akhtar, the man gone.
03:05Good bowling this by Wayne Daniel.
03:08He certainly has performed very well so far
03:10in this Benson Hedges World Series Cup.
03:12Great line that was.
03:13A little outside edge there through to the keeper.
03:16Dujon making no mistake.
03:17Mansur Akhtar out for four.
03:19And the West Indians now have Pakistan two for 28.
03:22West Indies a problem or two.
03:26Mr. Katz, there have been some no balls and wide.
03:28And the 12th man is on Roger Harper.
03:31Roger Andrew Harper.
03:33He's just 20 years of age.
03:36Quite an interesting character.
03:37Gus Logie.
03:43Very quick across the ground.
03:44The upfield is quite fast.
03:48He runs there to Mosul Khan.
03:52Malcolm Marshall.
03:55That was quick.
04:00Oh, real quick.
04:01Bold again.
04:07He's given him out.
04:09Well, he must have thought that he flicked the glove as well as the side.
04:16But that was very fast.
04:19Yes, the batsman certainly didn't think he was out.
04:22He was suggesting that it came off his ribcage.
04:25It's Merzun Khan as he disappeared.
04:27Struck for the West Indies.
04:28Pakistan in a bit of trouble now.
04:30Three for 35.
04:33Kazimou Maher is the new batsman taking the place of Merzun Khan.
04:38Marshall, who's...
04:41Good shot from Charvard.
04:45Right off the middle of the bat.
04:47And that's the first boundary of the innings coming in the 15th over.
04:54I think they've just got to work the ball square of the wicket and run
04:57and try and break up the line of the West Indian bowlers.
05:00They're completely in command at this stage.
05:04Oh, and that's a little lucky.
05:06That ball a little bit quicker.
05:08And old Kazimou Maher didn't really know where it had gone.
05:11An inside edge, down to fine leg.
05:14But two very lucky runs.
05:16Marshall.
05:18Very slippery.
05:19That was unbelievable stuff from Vivian Richards.
05:27A big appeal there from the West Indians.
05:29But what a magnificent example of picking the ball up,
05:33trying down the non-strikers in and hitting the stubs.
05:36Must be one of the greatest pieces of fielding one's ever seen.
05:38Just turn blind.
05:39Jarvid struggling, struggling, struggling.
05:41And also very close.
05:43It could have been three in a row for Jarvid.
05:44But umpire Martin also getting back into position.
05:48Caught by surprise by Vivian Richards.
05:50A magnificent piece of work.
05:52Well, there's a bit of respite for these guys now.
05:55Vivian Richards, who's captaining the side out there,
05:57is bringing himself into the attack.
05:59He'll be bowling his little off-spinners.
06:00He's bowling very well.
06:01The attack.
06:04Immediately Jarvid's away again.
06:07Throws to the ball.
06:09It was in Richard's call for that.
06:10He's not happy.
06:11He's not happy, Vivian Richards.
06:13He's showing you must be on your toes in the field.
06:16That run out, or attempted run out,
06:17was a great piece of work.
06:20Well, Dean Baptiste rolling his little medium paces.
06:22Medium fast he is.
06:25Well, that's well played.
06:27Nicely into the gap.
06:29The ball going down towards deep extra cover.
06:32Davis to Fieldsman down there.
06:38Richard's to Kazimoma.
06:39Well, nicely played by Kazim.
06:44He got that one away nice and fine.
06:47Wayne Daniel after it quickly.
06:50And two collected there by the Pakistanis.
06:52That was well placed.
06:53Baptiste to Shavid Mender.
06:55Shia at the stumps.
06:59That's a 50 partnership.
07:01One, two.
07:02Pakistan, three, four, 85.
07:07Three, four, 95.
07:08Batsman out.
07:08Madasa, seven.
07:09Mohsen Khan, 13.
07:10And Mansoor Akhtar, four.
07:14And he's bowled him.
07:15Now, Shavid is not pleased about that
07:20for a couple of reasons, I should think.
07:22One, he might have queried the delivery of the ball before.
07:26And he had to make his way back to the pavilion.
07:28So, Shavid Miendad out for 31.
07:30And Pakistan now, four for 96 in the 34th over.
07:34Kazim Nomar, still battling it out on 23.
07:41That's Imran on strike.
07:46Richard's attacking the ball.
07:48Beautiful throw.
07:51Seems to be able to throw the stumps down from anywhere these days.
08:02Oh, he's quick.
08:04Easy two runs.
08:17That's the end of the over.
08:18Four for 104.
08:20It really has been a boundary drought here today.
08:24Javid hit a square cut to the boundary in the 15th over.
08:27And that is it for the innings.
08:29Just the one boundary.
08:31That really is an incredible performance.
08:3439 overs about to be completed with this delivery.
08:39That's an amazing performance by the West Indies.
08:42Just five singles and that over.
08:47It's four for 114.
08:4825 extras being conceded by the West Indies.
08:58Michael Holding comes back to replace Winston Davis.
09:02Desmond Haynes allows that one to get past him.
09:11And an ironic cheer there as Pakistan get two for a shot.
09:16And that is also a measure of how tidy this bowling has been.
09:21The crowd recognising the fact that they haven't got much but singles of late.
09:27That's in the air and clearing Heldine Baptiste at mid-wicket.
09:40That's a miss field from Marshall.
09:42And Kazin is back for two.
09:52That's a good shot from Kazin.
09:55Michael Holding is the finer of the two fine legs.
10:0252 overs.
10:07They've conceded one boundary.
10:08And there's the second one.
10:12The second boundary in 52 overs.
10:1611 overs the other night without a boundary against Australia.
10:19And that's the second one in 42 overs here today.
10:25Quite an event.
10:27A boundary.
10:28And the crowd really rise to their feet.
10:30That wasn't very far wide of Geoff Dujon's right hand.
10:37Winston Davis at deep mid-off.
10:40Kazin comes back quickly for the second.
10:42The best over of the innings for Pakistan.
10:45They get 12 runs.
10:46They're four for 134.
10:49Holding to Kazin Mermar.
10:54That's where Michael Holding had the man brought up from.
10:58That man Gus Logie.
11:01But Logie able to cut that off just inside the road.
11:08My word Logie is quick over the ground.
11:12Holding to Imran Khan.
11:14An appeal there from Michael Holding.
11:20And Imran is on his way.
11:22A full toss.
11:25Quite a strong appeal there from Michael Holding.
11:27A very confident appeal.
11:29And Bruce Martin agreed with him.
11:31Imran's not too happy however.
11:35He seemed to think that ball was going down the leg side.
11:39And keeper Geoffrey Dujon was moving down the leg side too.
11:42That ball full toss.
11:44Hitting the pad in line between stump and stump.
11:47But the flight suggesting perhaps it might have been going about leg stump.
11:51Imran out for 17, 5 for 1-3-7.
11:56Kazim Omar faces Daniel.
12:00It's a good shot from Kazim.
12:02Beats Roger Harper in the covers.
12:04They go back for the third.
12:09And Kazim just beats the return to the bowlers end.
12:1744 overs gone.
12:20And Pakistan 5 for 143.
12:29Kazim.
12:30Top scorer for Pakistan.
12:32He's made 43.
12:33He's had to earn them all.
12:36And that's cleaned up the stumps as Rashid attempts to lock the way over the onside field.
12:43Once again, the accuracy of the West Indies bowlers.
12:47Pakistan losing its sixth wicket with 143 runs on the ball.
12:52Holding very much at a reduced pace.
12:56Oh, and that's trouble.
12:58It hits but it doesn't.
13:00But it was out by feet.
13:01Metres, anything.
13:04Whatever measurement you want to go in, it was going to be a long way.
13:08Yes, that wasn't a run.
13:09That was an act of faith.
13:12Kadir.
13:13It seems struggling to force the pace.
13:15Abdul Kadir on 7.
13:16At least he's looking busy.
13:18At least he's looking busy.
13:19Looking urgent.
13:22No more.
13:23He's gone now.
13:24Might have been a bit unlucky there.
13:25Inside edge.
13:26I suspect onto his foot.
13:29Or pad.
13:30And then back onto the stumps.
13:317 down.
13:337 down.
13:36Once again, the attempted Yorker inside.
13:38It's 7 for 157.
13:44Kazimomar faces Daniel.
13:48And there it is.
13:49That's his 50.
13:49And well played.
13:50It's racing out towards a boundary.
13:53Marshall comes across and cuts it off.
13:54They're through for two.
13:56Going back for three.
13:57And he's slow, Sofres.
13:58But the throw's wide.
13:59And well played for Kazim.
14:00He's a happy man.
14:01It's been hard work.
14:02And a big crowd here.
14:03Rise of the little fighter.
14:05What a battle of his for the West Indian side.
14:07And he's delighted.
14:08He's fans on the hill standing.
14:10And Kazim gives him a big wave.
14:13No boundaries.
14:15140 minutes.
14:17113 deliveries.
14:18But he's been the lone survivor.
14:20And what a tour he's having.
14:24Sofres facing Daniel.
14:25Oh, a ball.
14:30Beaten for Pace.
14:33But as I went through the bat.
14:34But the bat wasn't quite there.
14:36Wayne Daniel.
14:37A good spell of bowling.
14:38Again from him today.
14:41Oh, the big fella didn't really come forward, did he?
14:43Played for McCrease.
14:44And it was a perfect length.
14:45It came back slightly off the seam.
14:46And Sofres departs without scoring.
14:48Wings.
14:52Eight for 161.
14:53Not a boundary.
14:56Only two boundaries scored in the innings to date.
14:58Unbelievable off 49 overs.
15:01On the small Sydney cricket ground.
15:03Oh, well played.
15:10The little fella.
15:11He was out of position there.
15:13It was all over the place.
15:14But he got the boundary.
15:16He got back to ball.
15:17And the big crowd appreciate what a fighter this man is.
15:19His first boundary in the final over.
15:23All desperation.
15:27Fell down onto the knee.
15:30Swatted it away.
15:31Through the covers for four.
15:33They've given away three bonus overs by bowling.
15:39No balls and wides.
15:41And that's not good enough.
15:47Brilliant shot.
15:51Just as good as the one earlier in the over.
15:53Two balls remaining.
16:06It's gone again.
16:07Malcolm Marshall's coming around.
16:09He doesn't get to it.
16:10Is it six?
16:12Is it four?
16:13Indecision.
16:14Umpire O'Connell having a look.
16:20Asking Malcolm Marshall.
16:23Malcolm Marshall's not particularly interested at this stage.
16:26He's saying four.
16:28The members boo.
16:30The little fella picks up four more.
16:34Well, there wasn't much in it.
16:36Malcolm Marshall was the man right on the spot there.
16:40It's the rope boundary.
16:44And it landed a foot inside.
16:5316 from the over.
16:55From Wayne Daniel.
16:56Great fighting innings from Kazim Omar.
17:01And Pakistan finished with eight.
17:04For 184.
17:06And that's a great effort, Bill.
17:07A great fight back.
17:09A great fight back.
17:10Pakistan carried by this little guy.
17:12He comes off to a tremendous ovation.
17:13And he's made a match of it.
17:15Well, they did.
17:15That was a fine innings from Kazim Omar.
17:1767 not out.
17:18In 120 balls faced.
17:19He batted 153 minutes.
17:20Which is a measure of how tight was the West Indian attack.
17:2331, Javid Miendad.
17:24The next top score.
17:2513 to Mohsen Khan.
17:26And 17 to Imran Khan.
17:27But the batting certainly fell away.
17:28And that 184 was boosted by 31 extras.
17:31That's a lot.
17:31And Vivian Richards wouldn't have been too pleased about that.
17:33But he would have been happy with Michael Holding.
17:35Four for 26.
17:36And not so happy with Wayne Daniel.
17:37Two for 60.
17:38But Eldian Baptiste.
17:39One for 25.
17:40Would have pleased him immensely.
17:41And the great place you would have been.
