Story The West Indies - Coming Back From Oblivion (RPIC - PS2)

End of Match - All Out For 81

You think I couldn't have gotten worse for the West Indies, but it did. They were bundled out for 81 - 2 runs lower than there first Inngings score. No one looked impressive from the Windies. Batsmen got starts but then the Sri Lankan bowlers gave them a good delivery and they were out.

Here are the stats:

Match Presentation

Mark Nicholas: Hello and welcome to the Gatorade Match Presentation. What a display by the Sri Lankans here in Kandy, but first we are going to talk to West Indian captain Shivnarine Chanderpaul. Sri Lanka played really well today Shiv.

SC: Yes they did Mark. They batted, bowled and fielded really well, but unfortunatley for us I don't think we played to the best of our abilities.

MN: Any positives you can draw from this game?

SC: Yes. I think we can learn from our mistakes and show the world that the West Indies can be a great cricketing country like it was in the 70's and 80'################: Thanks for talking to us Shivnarine Chanderpaul. Next up is winning captain Marvan Atapattu. Your boys played really well today. Any reason for this?

MA: Yeah, they stuck to our stratergies we had set and we executed them with perfection. Personally I think we played great.

MN: You were out for 49 today and so was Sanath. Did that hurt you alot?

MA: Yes it did. I really wanted to get a 50 or a 100 and unfortunatley I just missed out and I was quite angry when I went back in the pavilion but then it all settled down.

MN: Thanks for talking with us today Marvan Atapattu and last but not least it is today'##### of the match, Nuwan Zoysa, with match figures of 9/58 off 21.3 overs. What was it like bowling out there today?

NZ: It was great. The wicket was crubling so there was some cracks in the picture and I just aimed at them and thankfully I got some wickets.

MN: You were one wicket short of a 10 wicket match. Were you angry dissapointed afterwards?

NZ: No definetly no. Chaminda got 8 wickets I think so I out numbered him there so there is nothing to be annoyed about.

MN: Thanks for talking to us today. Ladies and gentlemen, today'##### of the match Nuwan Zoysa!

Below: Nuwan Zoysa goes up for an appeal and gets an LBW decision.

Thanks everyone who has posted in this thread. I wanted to try something different by having the series end short. This is my first offically completed story and I am pretty proud of it. I probably win a award for shortest story in posts and time taken, but I hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as I wrote it.
