I always enjoy the commentators' reactions. Ian Bishop kinda loses it at the end, but so did all of us who watched it live! Talk about snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. The story was almost the reverse though as the Windies had Sri Lanka at 49/5 in their innings and the Windies were at one time 109/1 in chase of Sri Lanka's 235.
It certainly looked like collapso cricket was in full force as the Windies lost middle and lower order batsmen at an alarming rate to find themselves needing 13 off the final over with only 1 wicket left. After getting only 2 off the first 3 balls of Chaminda Vaas' final over and with number 11 Fidel Edwards on strike, it seemed as if the Windies had once again found a way to lose a match that they should have won. Edwards got a single and gave the strike to Chanderpaul, leaving the Guyanese Tiger with 2 balls to get 10 runs. A 4 and then a 6, simple stuff eh? At least it was on this day for Shiv.
