godzilla said:Cricket: Poor pitch halts Pakistan-South Africa game
2007-03-09 10:57 (New York)
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, March 9, 2007 (AFP) - The final World
Cup warm-up match between top-ranked South Africa and Pakistan was
held up nearly 10 minutes here on Friday due to poor pitch
conditions.
South Africa were 56-3 after being put in to bat when the game
was stopped following complaints from batsmen.
Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer and South Africa captain Graeme Smith
also entered the ground and were involved in mid-pitch discussions
with umpires Peter Parker and Ian Gould.
"The batsmen were not happy with the way the ball was bouncing,
but the umpires asked them to continue," said Dhiraj Malhotra, an
International Cricket Council official at the venue.
Jacques Kallis and Ashwell Prince were at the crease.

first of all, this is a warm up match. This is not the world cup. It does not deserve the same kind of coverage as the world cup. Like the teams, the broadcasters and organizers are also warming up. During the world cup, there will be at most 2 concurrent matches and the broadcasters have sent 2 teams everywhere. That is why there are only two matches being shown live every where around the world. One of those matches is at Trelawny, Jamaica, where the opening ceremony will take place. The crew is there in place of that and it is by coincidence that India is playing there. there is no conspiracy to show India matches and to not show Pakistan matches. The second live coverage is from St. Lucia, where the second match will take place. The broadcasters are there as it is the most efficient for them to be in place for the world cup to start. Its for logistical reasons. Why should they waste money to broadcast events for which rights have not been discussed and are not official matches and where the demand for watching it is low anyway? Bad mouthing Geo and Cricinfo is ridiculous. You cannot get everything you want all the time and stop thinking the whole world out there is against you!
