West Indies take on South Africa in Antigua in a much anticipated clash, these two teams having played out a very close encounter in the West Indies in real life not long after the World Cup in 1992.
South Africa have a good attack, and their batting is probably a match for the West Indies, so this one will be interesting.
Both teams are unchanged from their last game, featuring pace heavy lineups.
Pitch: 55 - A well prepared wicket with the promise of plenty of runs. It is likely to be at its best for batting on the first day and there is the possibility that in the late stages the bounce might become a little difficult. The batsmen look to have the advantage for most of the game.
Day 1 Conditions:
Pitch: 2 - Good Batting Wicket
Weather: 6 - Light Cloud
West Indies lineup:
D.L.Haynes, P.V.Simmons, B.C.Lara, R.B.Richardson (c), K.L.T.Arthurton, J.C.Adams, D.Williams (wk), C.E.L.Ambrose, K.C.G.Benjamin, C.A.Walsh, B.P.Patterson
