Welcome to St Georges Park in Port Elizabeth for the Pool B
Preliminary Round match between New Zealand and the West Indies
There is a steady stream of people entering the ground but it will
take time to fill the ground as the security checks are very
strict
A fairly sunny day in Port Elizabeth with a few clouds
A fairly brisk South Westerly is blowing across the ground
The toss was won by Wwest Indies who asked New Zealand to bat first
The sun disappears temporalily as a cloud drifts across
There is an expectant air around the ground as the crowd are well
aware that this is a crucial game for New Zealand
Should New Zealand opt to refuse to play in Kenya they will forfeit
points from that game and will to pick up points in this game
The sun returns to shine brightly
The crowd has swelled to around 3 500 as the bottleneck at the
gates seems to improve
Umpires Koertzen and Hair stride confidently out to the wicket.
Let's hope they have a good game today
Darrell Hair goes off to tthe Nort or Duckpond End
West Indies come out with the opening batsmen in close tow
Interesting to see DVettori come out to open
Slight delay...something to do with the sight screen just below us

ball, very full, goes straight through Sarwan who looks to come
down to it, plays all over it and is cleaned up, he trudges off,

further away outside off stump, Jacobs tries to reach it but
can't, McCullum takes smartly standing up to the stumps

it across the line, dragging a thick inside edge away through
backward square leg, sub fielder Sinclair around the boundary to
field just inside it

to this one! huge hit, swung away over deep backward square leg
44.3 Styris to Jacobs, no run, very full and straight, squeezes it
straight back down the pitch to the bowler

shot, brings up a 72-ball 50 for Jacobs

swing and a miss, McCullum only partially stops it low down,
standing up to the stumps, trickles away behind him and a bye is
stolen

West Indies' serious hopes now, the second big wicket, fullish
ball outside off stump, tries to swing it away over midwicket,
slices a big thick outside edge down towards third man, Oram races
in,

side, tries to swing it away but misses, brushes the leg as it
goes through to the keeper

on the spot and swings it away down towards wide long on, fielded

drives straight down to Oram at long on

through the covers too early, misses through to the keeper
45.6 Vettori to Drakes, no run, quicker, very full ball just outside off
stump, goes for a big swing down the ground but only succeeds in
dragging an inside edge on to his boot, drops away in close on the
off side and McCullum is quickly around to tidy up
