The Independent Voice of West Indies Cricket
Outspoken West Indies cricketer-turned-journalist
Colin Croft has been kicked out of his home by a Trinidadian
magistrate after his wife accused him of domestic violence.
The former West Indies fast bowler was ordered by magistrate Sharon
Gibson to remove all of his belongings from his wife's home at
Maloney Street in San Juan Wednesday, under police supervision,
according to media reports out of Trinidad and Tobago, where Croft
resides.
After much trepidation and uncertainty -- and not a little
controversy -- India pulled off their first win in the West Indies
in 26 years, and only their third ever in the Caribbean.
Zaheer Khan finished it off, having Cameron Cuffy caught by Sanjay
Bangar at gully for 4, and that sparked off the celebrations.
Sourav Ganguly kissed the Port-of-Spain turf, and moments later,
all the players huddled together to celebrate a rare overseas
win.
West Indian fans won't want it any other way. The target is 182
with eight wickets in hand. Time is abundant and Brian Lara and
Carl Hooper are at the wicket. It doesn't get more dramatic than
this.
Queens Park Oval belonged to the Caribbean side on Monday. Coming
into the fourth day's play with India holding a tight
grip on the match, the bowlers turned on the pressure and the
batsmen mirrored the effort later in the day as West Indies
finished on 131-2, chasing 313 for victory.
India have taken control of the second Test at Port of Spain
despite losing talisman Sachin Tendulkar for a duck on the third
day.
The tourists' saviours were captain Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman,
who shared an unbroken fifth wicket partnership of 109.
India stormed back to take four wickets in the final session to
seize the initiative in the second Test match against West Indies
at the Queen's Park Oval. When play was halted for bad light with
eight overs still to be bowled, the hosts were reeling at 197 for
6, still 142 runs in arrears.
Day Two close of play scores: West Indies 197 for 6 (Lara
52, Srinath 3-56) trail India 339 all out (Tendulkar 117, Laxman
69*) by 142 runs.
