Windward Islands v Pakistan - 4 day First Class match 1998/9 - St Vincent

Windward Islands slumped to 61/6 in their reply to Pakistan's 260, and at that point it seemed the visitors were headed for their 2nd win of the tour.
Half centuries to keeper Junior Murray and allrounder Roy Marshall rescued the home side and they were eventually improved to be all out for 209, 51 short of Pakistan's 1st innings.
Azhar Mahmood was excellent in the field, claiming a direct hit run out, and also taking 5-37 with his fast medium swing bowling.

Toss: Pakistan

Pakistan won the toss, and elected to bat first, but with only Imran Nazir reaching 50, posted a moderate first innings of 260.
Progress was slow due to a number of rain breaks and Pakistan were eventually all out late on Day 2.
Nixon McLean bowled well for the home side, coming back well after a poor 3 day game to take 4 wickets, while Roy Marshall continued his good form against the tourists.

Windward Islands v Pakistan - 4 day First Class match 1998/9 - Match Preview

Windward Islands v Pakistan - 4 day First Class match 1998/9 - St Vincent

Pitch: 114 - A beautifully prepared surface offering a little help to the fast bowlers but encouraging the batsmen to play their shots. The ball will come quickly on to bat for most of the match and runs should be plentiful and attractively made. Whether the bounce may become excessively hostile later in the match remains to be seen but this type of wicket should promote a good game of cricket.

Weather: 10 - Rain

West Indies President's XI v Bangladesh - 3 day First Class match 1998/9 - Match Summary

West Indies President's XI v Bangladesh - 3 day First Class match 1998/9 - Guyana

Pitch: 17

Toss: Bangladesh

Bangladesh won the toss and batted first on an excellent batting pitch, and were given a great start by their openers who added 150 for the 1st wicket.
Shahriar made 95, and Mehrab 71, and half centuries to Aminul Islam and Khaled Mashud allowed them to declare at a healthy 346/7.
An opening partnership of 98 between Gayle and Ragoonath, and a speedy half century to Arthurton allowed a declaration 140 behind for the home team.
Another good opening stand between Shahriar and Mehrab allowed Bangladesh to declare, and set the home side 243 to win in 47 overs.
A young Chris Gayle then monstered the Bangladeshi attack to make 151 at a run a ball, turning the chase into a doddle, with Lincoln Roberts making a barely noticed half century at the other end.
Defeat by 5 wickets felt cruel for Bangladesh given how well they competed earlier in the match, but their bowling shortcomings had been exposed and they end the match searching for answers.

After another strong opening partnership and a 2nd half century of the match to Shahriar, Bangladesh declared, setting the home side 243 to win off 47 overs.
West Indies were again given an excellent start by Gayle.
He carried on to monster the Bangladesh attack and make a match winning 151 at a run a ball as only he can, striking 20 fours and 3 sixes in what would become a trademark display in his later career.
Lincoln Roberts compiled a well made 50 at the other end, but was hardly noticed as Gayle turned the chase into a doddle.
Though it went to the last over, the home side had seemed in control throughout the run chase, and Gayle was duly named Man of the Match after carrying his team to a 5 wicket victory.
Bangladesh had batted well, and didn't really deserve to lose, but their bowlers wilted badly in the onslaught by Gayle.

Pitch: 17 - Dark coloured pitch which the groundsman predicts will favour the batsman throughout.  However there appears to be moisture just below the surface and any damage done by the heavy footed fast bowlers may well offer some help to the spinners later in the match.

Weather: 9 - Rain forecast

Bangladesh are lead by offspinning allrounder Naimur Rahman, and will be hopeful of competing well against less than Test strength opposition.

Having seen how weak some of the West Indies island players are, I am wondering whether Bangladesh might give some of them a good game..
I'm hoping the Bangladeshi batsmen in particular thrive on some loose bowling from the West Indies reserve Fast bowlers.

They were bundled out before Tea on the opening day as a pumped up Waqar claimed 4 wickets.

Windward Islands XI batted better second time round, but 4 wickets to Arshad Khan, and a further 3 to Waqar who finished as Man of the Match ended the game.
Pakistan won the match by the eventual margin of an innings and 42 runs, and it was an excellent display by the visitors from start to finish.

Though the Windward Islands XI batted much better in their second innings, they were still no match for Pakistan and subsided to an innings defeat.
Waqar claimed another 3 wickets to finish with 7 for the match and the Man of the Match award, while Arshad Khan bowled his offspin effectively and may be a chance at making the Test side later in the tour.
Victory by an innings and 42 runs handed Pakistan their first win of what is going to be a long tour.

After Saeed Anwar and Shahid Afridi opened with a century stand at 5 an over, Pakistan cruised to a declaration late on Day 2.
Most of the batsmen made runs as the home attack struggled on what had become a good batting pitch.
Roy Marshall continued his good form against the tourists with 4 wickets, but lacked support, with the fast bowlers disappointing.

Toss: Windward Islands XI

Windward Islands XI won the toss, and batted knowing the pitch would improve after the 1st session and become good for batting.
They lost 3 wickets with the score on 43 to fall in a hole before lunch, as a pumped up Waqar enjoyed the excessive bounce on offer.
None of the batsmen got going, and a good allround bowling performance by Pakistan saw the Windward Islands XI all out for 117 shortly before Tea on Day 1.
With the pitch now having flattened out, Pakistan would have hoped for a big first innings total to push for an innings victory over probably the weakest island team.

Windward Islands v Pakistan - 3 day First Class match 1998/9 - St Vincent

Pitch: 105 - Locals feel that there should be something in it for the fast bowlers in the opening             session, but thereafter the batsmen should be in control. Certainly the wicket is flat and solid, perhaps a trifle hard and there seems no reason to think that it will not last the five days.

Weather: 2 - Hot and sunny

Day 1 starting pitch: 6A - Hard pitch with excessive bounce - helps Fast bowlers and Spinners

Windward Islands XI contains some reserves who usually only play when the Test players are on duty, along with their first choice top 5 batting lineup.
Pakistan on the other hand rotate their squad, choosing a fresh XI players for this match, lead by fast bowler Waqar Younus.
Pakistan would probably expect a victory here over what looks to be the weakest island side they will face on tour.

West Indies President's XI v Pakistan - 3 day First Class match 1998/9 - Guyana

Pitch: 19

Toss: Pakistan

Despite Ijaz Ahmed's 85, Pakistan batted poorly in their 1st innings on a pitch which helped the bowlers throughout a low scoring match.
The visitors lost their last 6 wickets for 33 to be all out for 210 and put themselves under pressure against a competitive West Indies President's XI team.
Suraj Ragoonath scored 76 in the home team's reply, and solid contributions from the middle order gave them a 48 run lead.
Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Zahid enjoyed the fast paced pitch, taking 4 wickets to keep the visitors in the game.
Half centuries to Saleem Malik and Shoaib Malik allowed Pakistan to declare 200 ahead in their 2nd innings, but West Indies President's XI lost early wickets and never attempted the chase, playing out time before bad light ended play.

Patterson Thompson impressed with his pace in the Pakistan 2nd innings, but half centuries to Saleem Malik and Shoaib Malik allowed the visitors to declare and set a target of 200 off 39 overs.
West Indies President's XI lost early wickets in their 2nd innings and never attempted to chase the target, preferring instead to play for the draw.
They survived a few nervous moments, before bat light enabled them to escape a final tricky half hour of batting.
Man of the Match was Keith Arthurton, having batted and bowled well in all innings.
