Ball-by-Ball Commentary

       Welcome to Manuka Oval for the match between the West Indies and
        the Prime Minister's XI
       Conditions are slightly overcast today for this one-day match
       We are currently awaiting results of the toss and final West Indian
        eleven
       The West Indies team has now been finalised, only four specialist
        batsman playing, Lara and Sarwan both not playing, Jacobs and
        Browne round off the top six
       We suspect Jacobs will play as a batsman
       With Courtney Browne to don the gloves
       Five pace bowlers make up the West Indies attack, they being Walsh,
        Black, McLean, Stuart and Jeremy
       No toss as yet
       Photos of the players are currently being taken
       West Indies have won the toss flipped by the Australian Prime
        Minister, little Johnny Howard, Adams has decided to bat first
       Umpires Randolf Woolridge and Bill Ruse make their way out onto the
        field
