World Cricket II

[VinodKumar's]

3.39pm Now it's all over at QPO. Which is a shame really, because the teams did hell of a lot, despite and within their limitations, to give us a result. Highlights aplenty despite conditions that didn't make for attractive cricket: Roach became the first WI bowler in five years to take 10 wickets in a match, Hussey batted brilliantly, and then Chanderpaul and Deonarine brought some Guyana goodness, Australia opened with spin in the first innings of a Test for the first time since 1938, Nathan Lyon took five wickets in five overs, on his return Shane Shillingford bowled more than people do in an entire IPL, then the declaration by Australia, and Sammy's response with an unbeaten 30 off 26. The beauty of it all is, we will never know what would have been. Do wait for the presentation, though. By the way, the Frank Worrell Trophy has been retained by Australia, considering they can't lose the series now.
