West Indies Story

Robertinho

Cricketer Of The Year
New Zealand requiring 306 to win with 2 and little sessions to go, King and Dillon were to open the bowling...

Dillon took the crucial wicket of Englefield for 10, whilst the score was just at 1/24. Sinclair and McMillan stepped on the gas, but McMillan was completely tricked by a King slow ball and bowled for 18, the score 2/67. Ramnarine got his first wicket of the innings, drawing Sinclair down the pitch, giving McClean an easy stumping, the score moed on to 3/110, New Zealand requiring 196 to win in 1 session and 10 minutes. Nagamootoo struck, Richardson gone for 22, the score now 4/139. Ramnarine got his second wicket, bowling Fleming for 19.

He struck again in the same over, Franklin edging one to Hinds for a third ball duck, the score 6/172, with 1 hour and 16 minutes left. Mills, who looked very solid, was bowled by Ramnarine for 42, the match truly within the grasp of the West Indies, the score 7/196 with 48 minutes left. King struck again and bowled O'connor for 9 runs, the score at 8/212, with just 22 minutes left in the match. Drum trudged out, the last batsman, New Zealand wishing Vincent hadn't been injured. The wonder man, King, took the final wicket with just 2 overs left, capping off a brilliant 89 run win by the West Indies, New Zealand all out for 216. Ramnarine (23-5-64-4) and King (12.4-1-38-3) were the heroes with the ball for the Windies, King taking the crucial final 2 wickets of the innings.



VERY pleased with the good start to the test series, some good batting performance aswell as good bowling performances.
