Comments: To: cricket@vm1.nodak.edu

Hi there,

This is a revised version. Added into this version is a graph of the
runs scored per over for the two sides. Hopefully I will be able to
have this present also in the other summaries (depending on time).

This is the full score card for the 1st test between South Africa and
India. Please note that RSA stands for South Africa as was suggested in
the rec.sport.cricket newsgroup.

============================= Conditions =================================
It was a hot and clear summers day. With a lot rain having fallen recently
the outfield was a bit on the slowish side. There was not much grass on,
a typical one day wicket. However the ball was coming onto the bat slower
therefore the slower bowlers were more succesful.

============================ Substitutions ===============================
RSA   - None
India - None

============================== Attendance =================================
Attendance : 20 000
Capacity   : 20 000

=============================== Rule Differences ==========================
1. At all times a minimum of four players must be present in the inner
   circle.
2. In the event of rain, then the reduced target will be the best consecutive
   overs of the fielding side.
3. The third umpire along with TV will be used if needed.

============================= Comments ====================================
India got off to a good start when their opening pair put on 92 for the
the first wicket, but the start was too slow and resulted in more pressure
being put on the batsman following. This was in direct contrast to the start
that they had made when in the 2nd over they took 8 off De Villiers.
However, the brakes were applied to the start that they did get off to.
as the RSA bowlers (who were beginning to settle) were concentrating on
on line and lenght rather then on pace and fury. With the bowlers
bowling to their fields, runs were very difficult to come by and only ones
and twos were coming, further frustating the batsman. To demonstrate, in the
first 17 overs 6 fours hit but for the next 20 overs no fours were to be hit.
It was only in the 37th over that Tendulkar hit a four. The fielding of the
South African's was immaculate even though there was a run out oppurtunity
against Raman only for Richardson to overrun the stumps after a good return
from the boundary over the stumps and a ball going between the wicketkeeper
Richardson and Wessels first slip. To make up for those short comings, the
South Africans took 3 brilliant running catches.
1. Hudson running in off the boundary to dismiss Amre
2. Kirsten coming in off long on to dismiss More
3. Cronje looking into the sun to dismiss Dev after an attempted hit over
   the ring of inner fielders.
This was the best performance (IMHO) of the South African fielders and
bowlers, It was so good that the only no ball came not from an overstep or
wide (so common with the South African bowlers since our return) but for
being above shoulder height. With the South African's bowlers not being
able to bowl their alloted 50 overs in 3 1/2 hours it seemed that they would
have fewer overs to reach the total, but this did not happen. A sour point
must be Kapil Dev's reluctance in taking singles which would have put a few
more runs on the board for India. While his reluctance was that since he was
a more prolific scorer than Kumble, then he should face most of the bowling,
however this gamble did not pay off.
India's final over thus went like this.
  .4.
  .WW

When the South African's came out to bat, the Indian's looked like they were
going to emulate the South African's in their fielding display, but alas
except for the run out of Wessels (with the aid of TV - it was so close
that I am sure I can put my name between bat and crease and my name would
still be longer than the distance between bat and crease) the Indian fielding
display lacked discipline and also leadership, with Azharuddin dropping
what is a standard training shot - a high up and under - is excusable if he
did it once (Wessels) but twice (Rhodes) is unbelievable. Both these catches
dropped in the vicinity of the gully area where earlier on in the innings
he had made some brilliant save of what would have been certain fours for
Hudson off Dev. The Indian slow bowlers bowled a good line and length for
most of the match (Tendulkar and Kumble), but were as Cronje had bowled to
his field, they also lacked a little control, when a good over was suddenly
spoilt by a loose delivery. With the introduction of the slow bowlers the
scoring rate was much slower for the South Africans, but the Indians were
never able to tighten the screws. As in the 2nd test, Dev once again warned
Kirsten about trying to steal a yard or two on him as he was going to bowl.
Dev did warn Kirsten a second time, but this time he was red faced as he
realised that Kirsten's bat was well grounded in his crease. Earlier on in
the innings Hudson had been particularly severe on Dev when facing him in
the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th over he got a four off each of those overs giving
Dev figures of 5overs 1 maiden 21 runs and 0 wickets! There was some good
running between the wickets between the South Africans for those cheeky
singles.

======================== HISTORICAL EVENTS ================================
1. This is the first ODI to played in South Africa.
2. First ODI in which Television was used to help the umpires.
3. Raman hit the first boundary in an ODI to played in South Africa.
4. Dev hit the first six in an ODI to played in South Africa.
5. Cronje was the first player to get a wicket in and ODI to played in RSA.
6. Cronje became the second RSA player to get 5 wickets in a ODI.
7. Wessels became the first player to be dismissed by the third umpire
   with the aid of television in an ODI.

 A batsman strike rate is the number of runs scored off 100 balls.
 What is a bowlers strike rate and how is it calculated.
