Leeward Islands v South Africans - 4 day match - at St Johns, Antigua - 1998/9 - Match Preview

Pitch: 122 - A fast paced wicket on which the quick bowlers will always have a chance. Run rate should be good with ball coming quickly onto the bat and once the early fire has gone from the pitch the batsmen are likely to enjoy themselves. Late in the game the fast bowlers may come right back into their own as the wearing pitch recovers some of its sting.

Leeward Islands XI v South Africans - 3 day match - at St Johns, Antigua - 1998/9 - Match Preview

Pitch: 19 - Hard and bumpy, this wicket will always give the faster bowlers a chance. There is also the prospect that it will not stand up to five (or even four) days play and batting could become a nightmare in the later stages. It is doubtful that this wicket is really up to test standard.
