Winnipeg Hawks vs CWI B Team, 10th Match, Round 1 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

14:38 Local Time, 00:08 IST: It's just past midnight here in India, but the pitches and the cricket in the other side of the world has everyone talking. A ravaging win for the CWI B team, and the Hawks slide further down. Bramble was rather happy in that interview, but one has to feel for David Warner: what's the opposite of the idiom "Everything he touches turns to gold"? Amidst all the verbal chaos in the comm-box, this is Rishi Roy, signing off for the day alongside my yawning colleagues Kumar Abhisekh Das and Vinod Kumar as we head home to catch up on some sleep. Ciao folks!

________________

Justin Greaves, Man of the Match, [89*(58)]: It was just one of those days; everything was going my way. It was a case of the coach telling us to wait for the ball to come to us and our fielding in the deep has been excellent too. No pressure on us, it's about going out and expressing ourselves, and the coahces have been very helpful in that regard.

Anthony Bramble, CWI B captain: The guys really played well. Bowled really well as a team, and that was some dominance by Greaves and King. We were worried without the fifth bowler, but I think the guys bowled really well such that we didn't feel the absence. The guys have fielded well and taken some good high catches, made some great stops as well.

David Warner, Winnipeg Hawks captain: We were poor on all three disciplines. They bowled well, we didn't start well with the bat, and we just tried to hard in both departments. Our quicks could have done a better job. I know if I get through the first six overs, then I'm settled, but at the moment, nothing going my way. But I'll keep digging in.

14:22 Local Time, 23:52 IST: CWI B, the least-hyped team in the tournament, have played on their fair share of slow tracks in the islands back home, and it all comes to fruition now. CWI B now top the table, and remain undefeated. Warner failed with the bat yet again and the number of extras bowled by his bowlers was the difference between the two sides as the best team of the tournament so far (by a country mile) romp home in dominant fashion. Honestly, on this kind of a wicket, the margin for error for bowlers increases, but Fidel Edwards hitting 150km/h can send shivers down any batsman's spine, even on a slow pitch - it was a sight to behold, and certainly one of the positives for Warner's side today. As for Greaves and King, they were so patient and let the ball come on to them, played late, and outclassed every other batsman on this lethargic pitch. It was a masterclass on how to bat on slow tracks. Put simply, they nailed the chase. We'll be back with the presentations in just a moment.

Ali Khan to Justin Greaves, FOUR, slower bouncer just outside off, Justin Greaves has an age to watch that, ends up nailing the timing and placement on this pull in front of deep square leg for four. That's the end of that! A clinical, table-topping win for the Cricket West Indies B team.

Ali Khan to Justin Greaves, no run, yorker length delivery on middle, tailing in late, a drag-back and a dig-out to short mid-wicket

Ali Khan to B King, 1 run, back of a length delivery on the thigh, and a hop'n'nudge in front of square leg for a single. Scores level.

Ali Khan to Justin Greaves, leg byes, 1 run, low full-toss on leg, must have been going down leg, he misses the glance and the ball trundles into the on-side as they steal a leg-bye

Ali Khan to Justin Greaves, no run, short of length, slow bounce, Justin Greaves hops on top of the bounce and taps it on the head down to short third man. He wants the run, but King sends him back

Ali Khan [3.0-0-30-0] is back into the attack

F Edwards to B King, no run, full-toss on leg-stump, drive from the crease towards mid-on. Fidel ends with 4-0-17-1, unfortunate not to get more wickets. The batsmen have played him out and picked on the others. That was the last throw of the dice from Warner. He faces his inevitable doom now.

F Edwards to Justin Greaves, 1 run, on a good length fired in on middle, the You-miss-I-hit length, but Justin Greaves comes across and nudges it on the head towards mid-wicket for a single

F Edwards to Justin Greaves, wide, short, too short, and wide called. Justin Greaves ducked but that would've gone way over his head

F Edwards to Justin Greaves, 2 runs, slower one slung in on middle, a hint of late curl, and Justin Greaves adjusts for it by dropping his wrists on the closed face slightly early to turn it away towards deep square leg for a brace

F Edwards to B King, 1 run, short of length and rising at the pecs, King drops it off the back foot to short mid-wicket for a single

F Edwards to Justin Greaves, 1 run, curving in towards middle off the off-shoulder heave of the sphere at the batsman, and a nudge into the on-side for a single

F Edwards to Justin Greaves, wide, back of a length but down leg side, wide called by the umpire
