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

 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.

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.

Pitch: 92 - Rather an odd looking pitch of varying colour and the groundsman is reported as being a little unhappy with his product. The wicket is likely to play reasonably for a couple of days but as the surface wears unevenly the bounce may be affected making batting difficult. If the pitch begins to wear badly on the final day batsman will need to concern themselves about survival rather than embarking on a run chase.

Pitch: 16 - Possibly over watered and with a distinctly green look to it. The pitch must favour the seamers early on but for how long and to what extent is difficult to predict. Once the initial liveliness has gone it should play quite well and there is little prospect of any real help for the bowlers thereafter.
