 Windward Islands v South Africans - 4 day match - at Kingstown, St Vincent - 1998/9 - Match Preview

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.
