West Indies crushed on opening day

Jan 10, 2007

34.1 Nel to Sammy, OUT, ... In the slot from Nel, and a very loose drive from Sammy, who's played so well so far. Smith himself takes an awkward catch, climbing towards his chest at first slip, and the end of the innings is nigh•AFP

14.1 Ntini to Chanderpaul, OUT, gone, West Indies are toast here. Poor shot from Chanderpaul to a decent delivery which angles across him, he nibbles at it and hands a simple catch to second slip•AFP

4.4 Steyn to Ganga, OUT, gone this time. Another beauty from Steyn who draws him into an injudicious forward poke, the ball taking the outside edge and it loops to Smith at first slip who makes no mistake•Getty Images

8.4 Powell to Gibbs, OUT, a stunned silence greets the first wicket of the innings. Short, but not that short, and Gibbs under-edges a smeared pull onto his leg stump. He looks up in incredulity, but it's too late to save his innings HH Gibbs b P•Getty Images

12.2 Ntini to Samuels, OUT, gone! He's goddim! Fuller this time and Samuels plays this away from his body, the ball seaming just a touch away from him, and it hands Boucher with the simplest of chances •Getty Images
