West Indies Vs Pakistan
Mark Nicholas: Welcome here to Barbados, for the the first match of the WC. West Indies vs Pakistan. Now to Athers at the pitch.
Athers: Well, looking at this pitch, it is very dry, and the only chance for the bowling side is, perhaps, early on, but only the spin bowlers will get any chance as the pitch deteirates.
M.N: Now for the match and we start with Ian Bishop and Michael Slater in the commentary box.
M.S: Bradshaw in and, Afridi sends the second ball of the WC right into the stands.
I.B: Well, he was looking for the yorker but instead overpitched and Shahid Afridi gets going.
M.S: Here's Collymore, and Afridi drives, but it hasn't gone far enough, he could be caught and.. WHAT A CATCH!! Collins in the deep takes a blinder!
I.B: That is such a big wicket for the West Indies and not clever cricket from Afridi. Out for 19, It's 24-1
M.S: Collymore...and he's played on. Inzaman Ul-Haq chops on and it's a great start for the hosts.
I.B: The ball bounced a bit higher and was bit quicker, but really it was a poor defensive shot, wafting away from his body. Two key man back in the hutch. Ul-Haq out for a second ball duck, it's 24-2.
