CW XI innings (target: 247 from 50 overs)
In comes Edwards...
0.4 Edwards to Camps, two runs, and we're off the mark with a nicely hit square drive, just beats backward point but alert reactions and good running from the man at extra cover
1.2 Bradshaw to Markus, FOUR, and that's a nice way to treat the first ball you face, hoiked over midwicket and four runs, Markus typically belligerent
2.5 Edwards to Markus, OUT, well his golden run couldn't last for ever! Edwards with a decent enough delivery, extra bounce which deceives Markus as he tries to pull, the ball goes up to Bravo who holds on easily enough, this could be an interesting chase
2.6 Edwards to Goff, one run, driven hard to extra cover where there is a man, would have gone for four if he'd placed it anywhere else on the off side
3.6 Bradshaw to Goff, no run, cautiously played into the backward point region, no single taken, just two off the over
4.3 Edwards to Goff, three runs, that was a fine strike, straight but stops in the outfield, just three
6.4 Edwards to Goff, wide, that's the help CW need, way down the leg side from Fidel
7.5 Bradshaw to Goff, no run, inswinger from Bradshaw, been plenty of them so far, this one is not well treated by Goff and he's hit on the pads, helped by the umpire though
8.3 Edwards to Goff, wide, they all count, another poor delivery, this time swings away and starts midway between wicketkeeper and first slip, eventually landing in the hands of slip
9.6 Bradshaw to Camps, no run, that is a maiden over, it's been a slow and cautious start
10.0 Collymore on for Edwards, who is looking worn
11.1 Bradshaw to Goff, FOUR, pressure relents a bit, Goff cuts four off the target and the ball down to third man, well played
11.6 Bradshaw to Goff, three runs, another cut shot, not so hard this time, the fielder manages to get to it, nine off the over regardless
12.6 Collymore to Goff, no run, Corey continues to bowl a good line and length, the run rate balloons upwards...
13.6 Bravo to Goff, two runs, easy pickings, Goff looks okay out here, Camps on 20 off 41 though...
14.3 Collymore to Goff, no ball, FOUR, run up gone all awry here, Collymore oversteps by a foot and serves up a full toss, Goff drives it straight past the bowler
16.4 Collymore to Camps, SIX, that is the ticket! Camps suddenly breaks the shell, huge pull over square leg, just a couple of metres over the fielder but it's enough, huge cheers all round here
17.2 Bravo to Goff, FOUR, more boundaries, pressure starting to ease here
18.0 Gayle on, once again spinners used early
18.2 Gayle to Goff, FOUR, slow delivery, thumped through midwicket, no chance for the fielder
18.6 Gayle to Goff, FOUR, more runs, been a very poor over from Gayle this, lots and lots of runs, that's the fourteenth coming up and CW XI are firmly in control
19.4 Bravo to Camps, OUT, and just as we said it...Camps attempts another of these big pull shots, it's gone to Gayle who takes that one easily, but the stand of 88 might have been enough after all...
20.6 Gayle to Butler, three runs, edged through the slips cordon, Butler needs to play himself in after the poor performance against Sri Lanka...
21.1 Bravo to Butler, one run, that was an assured stroke though, right to the fielder but otherwise perfect in its execution
23.5 Bravo to Butler, FOUR, and again, clearly prefers the seam bowling of Bravo, it's not moving much at all right now
24.2 Gayle to Goff, FOUR, clearly wants to join in on the fun, that was a beautiful cover drive
25.1 Samuels to Butler, no run, flighted, a couple of inches outside off, very full, no shot played, risky stuff here
27.3 Samuels to Butler, three runs, that was a fine shot, tucked behind leg for three runs, reasonably well fielded to prevent the boundary
29.4 Samuels to Butler, FOUR, flighted, cuts away and that's easy really
30.6 Collymore to Goff, two runs, Lara stumped for options at present, well bowled there by Collymore but it isn't going to stop the flow of runs
31.6 Samuels to Butler, no run, that completes a maiden over, nerves are starting to resurface...
32.6 Collymore to Goff, no run, hit on the pads well outside off, a desperate appeal, he's looked plumb on a couple of occasions but this wasn't one
33.3 Samuels to Goff, FOUR, moves into the eighties with a lovely shot that just couldn't be stopped
34.5 Collymore to Butler, FOUR, short ball pulled through midwicket, 76 needed off 91
36.2 Collymore to Butler, wide, not what West Indies need at present, strays down leg
36.2 Collymore to Butler, wide, oh dear, now too far outside off as he tries to reorganise...
36.2 Collymore to Butler, one run, on the stumps and driven back, just past the bowler but picked up at long on
37.6 Edwards to Goff, no run, that completes a maiden over, Edwards introduced at just the right time
38.3 Bravo to Goff, three runs, leg glance that fails to reach the boundary, still keeps the scoreboard ticking over very nicely
39.5 Edwards to Butler, OUT, how cruel! robbed of his 15th ODI half-century by a magnificent catch from Bradshaw, it's been a fine knock together with the match-winning one from Goff, but takes an end on 49
39.6 Edwards to de Silva, one run, single well taken to mid off
40.6 Bravo to Goff, no run, really becoming bogged down here, once again drives straight to the fielder, this could be crucial
41.4 Edwards to de Silva, FOUR, full and swinging away a tad, a fine stroke past a diving fielder at deep backward point, that's a boundary
42.1 Bravo to Goff, four leg byes, strays a bit on the pads there, bounces and away through the leg side, helps the total but not Goff's chase for a hundred
43.2 Bradshaw to de Silva, OUT, full delivery from Bradshaw, seam nice and upright on the changed ball, brushes onto the ground and the inside edge before clattering the off stump, end of a short cameo, WI fighting back here?
In comes Robbins...thrives on these situations...
43.3 Bradshaw to Robbins, no run, beaten outside off
43.4 Bradshaw to Robbins, no run, makes contact but not particularly good one, sets off for a quick run but calls it off
43.5 Bradshaw to Robbins, no run, hit straight to fielder at extra cover
43.6 Bradshaw to Robbins, one run, West Indies give Robbins the strike, could he prove them wrong yet? 39 needed off 36...
Bravo for his last over...
44.1 Bravo to Robbins, no run, hit on the pads but very high, stifled appeal
44.2 Bravo to Robbins, OUT, that's fuller and straighter, Robbins tries to tuck it away but got pad in front of bat, at least that's what the umpire is claiming, out lbw for an insignifcant score, game slipping away
In comes Chaulk, who has come in for some criticism for his batting form...
44.3 Bravo to Chaulk, two byes, left alone outside the off stump, swings away, too much for Baugh who doesn't get more than a fingertip to it, it confuses everyone except Chaulk and Goff who sprint a couple of byes
44.4 Bravo to Chaulk, one run, driven straight to the fielder, quickest run ever seen
44.5 Bravo to Goff, FOUR, short, pulled away, not a good delivery at this stage from Bravo, Goff takes full advantage and moves onto 98
44.6 Bravo to Goff, no run, drops it short again, Goff ducks under this one actually, interesting tactics
32 needed off 30. High drama here in the Dome. Bradshaw in for his eighth over...
45.1 Bradshaw to Chaulk, one run, drops short and Chaulk pulls away, midwicket fielder Hinds picks it up easily, just the single
45.2 Bradshaw to Goff, two runs, good length delivery outside the off stump, Goff cuts fine, very fine, not much separating that from an inside edge, perhaps not the best way to bring up the hundred but they all count, 29 needed off 28
45.3 Bradshaw to Goff, no run, poor shot, another good length delivery and Goff fails to get it away properly, Chanderpaul throws down the stumps
45.4 Bradshaw to Goff, no run, and again, closer to the stumps this time, a straight shot from Goff but blocked in the followthrough by Bradshaw
45.5 Bradshaw to Goff, one run, gets off the strike now, drive and they look for the second run but a flat throw prevents that
45.6 Bradshaw to Chaulk, leg bye, they're running off everything now, is it going to be enough?
Edwards back, of course...
46.1 Edwards to Chaulk, no run, away-swinger, beaten outside off stump by the pace
46.2 Edwards to Chaulk, no run, bouncer, interesting selection of bowls by the West Indian, gets away with it because Chaulk's pull shot is horribly miscued
46.3 Edwards to Chaulk, FOUR, the drama! this one a full toss outside the off stump, cover drive from Chaulk executed well enough to get the boundary, 23 off 21!
46.4 Edwards to Chaulk, one run, and rotate the strike, quick single taken after that leg glance
46.5 Edwards to Goff, no run, full and fast and swings away, big swipe from Goff misses everything
46.6 Edwards to Goff, one run, dabbed into the off side this time, just the single, is that good tactics with a Goff out of touch right now... 21 off 18...
47.1 Bradshaw to Goff, one run, now off the strike, fine shot really but picks out the fielder, just the single
47.2 Bradshaw to Chaulk, leg bye, huge appeal, the batsmen run while they're debating with the umpire, another one off the target...
47.3 Bradshaw to Goff, no run, beaten outside off, that was nothing special but Goff just can't get bat on it, 19 off 15
47.4 Bradshaw to Goff, one run, and again, this time a tiny edge which goes through the vacant slips region and down to third man, 18 off 14
47.5 Bradshaw to Chaulk, no run, almighty heave which comes to nothing except a massive lbw appeal, not given as the ball looked to be slipping down leg
47.6 Bradshaw to Chaulk, no run, good length delivery outside off, hits too hard and it goes straight to the fielder, soft hands!!! 18 off 12!!
48.1 Edwards to Goff, one run, very quickly run here, but they need boundaries and they know it, 17 off 11
48.2 Edwards to Chaulk, no run, Chaulk knows it very very well indeed, huge attempted cover drive which lands in the safe hands of Baugh, nowhere near the ball, 17 off 10...
48.3 Edwards to Chaulk, one run, edged down through the slips region for another single to third man, 16 off 9
48.4 Edwards to Goff, one run, that one headed down the gully, so are the hopes of CW, another poor shot to an admittedly excellent delivery, 92mph and swinging away a tad
48.5 Edwards to Chaulk, no run, howzat?! thuds into pad at just a fraction lower speed than the previous delivery, stunning delivery and Chaulk just has no answer, but neither has the umpire, who reprieves him
48.6 Edwards to Chaulk, leg bye, another one hits the pads, this one too high and bounces away, single, 14 off 6
49.1 Bradshaw to Chaulk, one run, hit into the off side, diving stop by Sarwan, 7-2 field at present and Bradshaw is bowling a wide line outside off
49.2 Bradshaw to Goff, four leg byes, or so we thought, that one strays on the pads and bounces away slowly through fine leg, Baugh rushes after it but can not stop the four, 9 off 4 needed
49.3 Bradshaw to Goff, one run, another one wide of off, Goff tries to pull it away on the leg side but there's no way he can, ball rather helplessly ballooning up to silly mid off, no one on the leg side to take the catch
49.4 Bradshaw to Chaulk, one run, another quite widish delivery, Bradshaw is playing with fire here, still Chaulk can not pull that one and has to be content with a driven single, Goff back on strike to loft some magic, seven needed off two
49.5 Bradshaw to Goff, no run, that's it, all over for Cricket Web XI, six needed just to tie the match, it was a fine delivery outside the off stump, cleverly disguised slower ball and Goff, attempting to loft it over all the men in the deep, just has to capitulate as the ball goes under his bat and through to Baugh
49.6 Bradshaw to Goff, one run, they trudge a dejected single, West Indies have prevailed by five runs in this repeat of the last World Cup final, and the Webheads walk off with a sense of underachievement. Now the pressure is on before the next group match.
