Group B: Bangladesh v West Indies at Dublin, 21 May 1999

Ball-by-Ball Commentary

       it's quite rainy in Dublin today. Rain will be on and off all day.
        Play may possible, then again it may not, we'll just have to wait
        and see. And as I speak, it's stopped raining again.......
       I just can't believe it's rainy in Ireland in May
       it's 5 minutes before the scheduled start in play, it's overcast,
        but the clouds aren't too grey. They're bringing the covers off
        and the umpires will have an inspection soon after.

Match State: Match start delayed due to morning rain

       it's just been announced that the match will get underway (pending
        no further rain) at 11:15 local time (1015 GMT) with the lunch
        break reduced to 30 minutes, and the close of play extended by 15
        minutes

Match State: Match start delayed to 1015 GMT by morning rain

       and sigh, the raining is again sprinkling down and the covers are
        back on. We will have to wait and see if this affects the 1015 GMT
        start
       and looky there, the sun is out again. What a performance the Irish
        are turning on for us today.
       Bangladesh have won the toss and have elected (for reasons only
        known to them) to bat first
       Lara must be having a big chuckle to himself, because there's no
        doubt he would've bowled if he won the toss

Match State: Match due to start at 1030 GMT

       West Indies squad is resting Ambrose, and sadly no appearance for
        the Powell the pyrotechnic
       and of course the best news in terms of the toss is that it should
        make for a quick match. No offence to the Banglas, but hell let's
        be realistic.

        that's 50, that's a win, that's 2 points, that's a half handy
        performance from bangladesh
       presentations. Aminul colecting the losing cheque: "I should
        congratulate out opening Mehrab Hossain... I'm very happy with the
        bowling and the fielding.... looking forward to the next match
        with Scotland"
       $6000 for Lara: "getting our first win was important.... we
        conceded 25 wides, that's something we can't afford in the later
        matches.... it's good to see our team coming together, especially
        the batting"
       and the man of the match is the unknown chap who goes by the name
        of Courtney Walsh
       I'd transcribe something of what he says, but he's talking way too
        quickly in way too much of a monotone
       and that's all we have from the land of Eire. Not the most exciting
        of matches and not themost unpredictable of results.
       Tomorrow's matches are England v South Africa, and Sri Lanka v
        Zimbabwe. 2 very crucial matches. You'd expect the first to count
        as a Super 6 result, whilst the second could well decide which
        team enters the Super 6.
       Zimbabwe of course relying on India's laughable appeal against the
        result of the Ind v Zim match being denied. A notion so ridiculous
        you have to think it's a hoax.
