Second One-day International Wisden home Almanack archive home 1988 home PAKISTAN v WEST INDIES 1986-87 At Gujranwala, November 4. West Indies won on faster scoring-rate. Put in, West Indies collapsed to 67 for five but were again rescued by Dujon, who in 83 minutes with Marshall added 115, a record for the seventh wicket in one-day internationals. His unbeaten 57 contained two sixes and five fours; there were seven fours in Marshall's 66 off 66 balls. Saleem Jaffer, opening the bowling in the absence of Imran Khan with a finger injury, started the collapse by taking three wickets in ten balls. Pakistan themselves slipped to 75 for six, but Miandad and Yousuf looked to be bringing victory into sight when the gathering gloom made the prospect of a finish impossible. West Indies had been bowling their overs at an average of five minutes each, and when it looked as if Pakistan were being denied the chance to win, the crowd began throwing bottles and firecrackers at the West Indian fielders. At this, Richards took his team off. Under the regulations of the series, the maiden overs were discarded in calculating the scoring-rate. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64292.html

I remember reading about this game a week after it happened...The Sportstar actually wrote something like Pak needed to get 196 in 43 ovs since 7 of them were maidens when WI batted. Anyway, the crowd were idiots to act up and spoil the day...Given the lengthy run ups of Marshall/Patto and the amount of deliberations needed when you are running out of bowlers for the death, 5min an over was normal. At least for those days.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63442.html Second Test Match Wisden home Almanack archive home 1988 home PAKISTAN v WEST INDIES 1986-87 Provided with a wicket that favoured their fast bowlers, West Indies levelled the series in three days. Ironically, they had omitted one of their pacemen, Patterson, in favour of the off-spinner, Butts, so going into a Test match with two specialist spin bowlers for the first time in 58 matches: such was the nature of the pitch, and the brittleness of Pakistan's batting against pace and unpredictable bounce, that they bowled one over between them. It was the briefest of respites. For Pakistan, who won the toss and batted, Asif Mujtaba made his début in place of the injured Salim Malik. It was a fiery introduction, and he was to take 25 minutes getting his first run. Only Miandad, for three hours twelve minutes, had the class to survive long. West Indies also found batting difficult against the speed and spin combination of Imran and Qadir and owed much to Greenidge's skill and patience for a total in excess of 200. It was to prove enough, however; only 87 runs behind on first innings, Pakistan could not make West Indies bat a second time. Unlucky to lose Qasim Omar when he was struck on the face by a ball from Walsh, they were all out an hour after tea for 77, their second-lowest Test score and their lowest at home. Man of the Match: M. D. Marshall. Close of play: First day, West Indies 15-0 (C. G. Greenidge 9*, D. L. Haynes 6*); Second day, West Indies 185-7 (M. D. Marshall 3*, C. G. Butts 4*).

Another match on November 30th. Chappell made century in each innings. Holding's debut test. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63150.html First Test Match Wisden home Almanack archive home 1977 home Australia v West Indies At Brisbane, November 28, 29, 30, December 2. Australia won by eight wickets. For the second year running a Test Match at the Gabba began with a controversy over the pitch. The former Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Alderman Clem Jones, was still in charge and after the Queensland match which was played on a badly underprepared wicket, he came in for a great deal of criticism, especially as the Test pitch seemed to be in a similar condition. In the four days before the match two fierce electrical storms broke over Brisbane and each time the covers were inadequate and the pitch was flooded. After a lot of hard work, which included blowing hot air on to the pitch with a machine which was normally used for incubating eggs, it made a remarkable recovery. It held together much better than was expected, although there were rumours that it was rolled and watered each night of the game and if this was so it would explain why. Both sides went into this match with two spinners, the West Indies with Gibbs and Inshan Ali and Australia with Jenner and Mallett. The West Indies chose Holding for his first Test Match to open the bowling with Roberts in preference to playing Julien who had little form behind him. This was Greg Chappell's first Test Match as captain of Australia and he could hardly have had a better start, for not only did Australia win the match, but also he made a hundred in each innings. As Walters was unfit after dislocating his knee in a Sheffield Shield game, Turner came into the side and Redpath took Ross Edwards's place, Edwards have retired at the end of the Australian tour of England the previous September. The West Indies went into the match with six specialist batsmen and only four bowlers. When Lloyd won the toss he gave the West Indies an important advantage which their batsmen threw away in an astonishing first morning's cricket. They all went for their strokes as if playing a forty-over match, and after two hours play and eighteen overs they came into lunch at 125 for six. Gilmour was the most hostile of the bowlers and neither Thomson nor Lillee were as impressive in this match as they had been in the corresponding one against England twelve months earlier. The West Indies were taken past 200 through bold innings by Murray and Holding. McCosker had stomach trouble and so Redpath opened for Australia with Turner and they made a good start although both had some luck against Roberts and Holding, who were both very fast. Turner was dropped by Rowe at second slip off Roberts when he was 12. Redpath was spectacularly thrown out by Holding at the start of the second day and when he had made one Ian Chappell was dropped by Richards at forward short leg off Roberts. He then began to bat extremely well and with Turner going on to make a solid 81, Australia were assured of a good lead. Later in the day Greg Chappell was seen at his best. He drove beautifully, especially on the on side and reached a hundred in three hours, twenty-five minutes. He and Marsh added 122. The innings was then quickly finished off by Gibbs who bowled splendidly, taking five for 102 in 38 overs. The West Indies began their second innings badly, losing Greenidge for his second nought of the match, and Fredericks and Holding, the nightwatchman, were soon out on the third morning. Both Rowe and Kallicharran survived chances off Lillee. They then began to bat splendidly although it was surprising that Gilmour was given only eleven overs in the innings, for he badly worried **MISSING TEXT** record for the West Indies against Australia. While Rowe's cover driving was the feature of his innings, Kallicharran played many exciting cuts and hooks. While they were together it looked as if the West Indies might set Australia more than 300 in the final innings. Then, in twenty minutes, carelessness cost them three wickets. After batting four and a half hours Rowe played a wild pull at Jenner and was caught at slip and four balls later Lloyd drove when not to the pitch and was caught at extra cover. Soon afterwards Richards, who seemed badly affected by nerves, ran himself out by half the length of the pitch and when Kallicharran was bowled sweeping at Mallett the score had gone from 248 for three to 275 for seven. Another brave innings by Murray took the West Indies' lead to 218. Australia soon lost McCosker and then Gibbs began a wonderful spell of bowling on a pitch which was turning a long way if only slowly. Australia were 60 for two when he bowled Turner, but then the Chappell brothers began to bat magnificently, though when Ian was twelve, he drove a full toss from Inshan Ali back to the bowler, who dropped a none-too-difficult catch. While Greg batted superbly in his upright elegant way and went on to reach his second hundred of the match, Ian played probably the most important innings for it was he who coped with Gibbs when he first came on and was bowling brilliantly. Although the match ended in four days it could hardly have been a more eventful and fascinating game of cricket. Ž© John Wisden & Co

1998 A famous day for Zimbabwe. They beat Pakistan by seven wickets in Peshawar, their first overseas victory at the 15th attempt. Pakistan took a first-innings lead of 68 - it would have been many more, but for Neil Johnson's brilliant maiden Test hundred - but they were soon 41 for 6 as the none-too-threatening duo of Henry Olonga and Pommie Mbangwa sliced through the middle order. Murray Goodwin then shepherded Zimbabwe to a seven-wicket victory, and rain and fog in the next two Tests meant that was enough to give them the series. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63824.html B->
