full into the leg stump, what a win for pakistan, Wasim runs with his arms wide down the pitch, screaming
Pakistan vs Australia, 16th Match at Leeds, May 23 1999 - Ball by Ball Commentary
and that's followed by the mother of all pitch invasions, people sprinting on from everywhere, with 2 big mobs gathering around the stumps trying to collect a momento of a great match
So a fantastic win for Pakistan in a tremendously entertaining match. I'll let you make up your own banalities for the presentations. I have to mop myself off the floor.
tomorrow's matches, whatever they are, will begin up 945 GMT. Goodnight from CI.

pushed wide of the tailender, McGrath a fair few miles from hitting it
oh dear, and now there's a crowd invasion, stumps are stolen, Pakistani supporters are celebrating too quickly
security with all the effectiveness of the Guyanese police force
outswinger, batsman moves away, trying to loft over cover, plays inside it, colelcts middle and off
another full toss, travels wide of the 3rd man, they get a double off a thick edge
trying to play a full ball thru the covers, or guiding it to 3rd man, missed, borderline wide, but not called
Wasim with the final over, Martyn to face
inside edge jammed away on the on side thru the same area as the previous ball, they are happy to take 1
good on drive, thru the wide mid on area, scrambled fielding whilst the take a 2nd
yorker length, Martyn tries to jam it to the 3rd man, misses, thru Moin's legs, he's having a 'mare behind the stumps
awfully timed drive off teh stumps to the mid wicket fielder
makes room outside leg, chopped down to the long on, chance for a second but they don't risk it
trying the off drive, too quick, jammed back to the bowler
just looking a tad tough for Australia now
sweep shot, played direct to the deep backward square leg on the bounce
big loft over the covers, luckily for the batsman it landed in between the two deep fielders, there's time for a 3rd
missing the swiped drive outside the off stump, attempted stumping, TV called, but not out after a couple of viewing
pulled very hard, it was a poor long hop, Wasim dived very well whilst also going for a catch at mid wicket
predictably, the tailender goes the slog over the mid wicket, doesn't judge Saqlain's extra bounce, top edge off the attempted lofted sweep, Wasim moves in and calls "mine" around the short mid wicket posiiton
lots of bounce, steps back and cuts it to the deep point
one over each remaining from Saqlain, Wasim and Shoaib
Saqlain is the first up
crowd is deathly quiet
seaming in, beats the inside edge, thru the gate, just mising the stumps
flapping a cut shot at it, bottom edge into the pitch
full outside the off stump, Martyn with the cut shot, but travels straight to the 3rd man
