Kingston Jamaica

Pitch: 30 - A hard, bumpy pitch that will help the fast bowlers early on. With the ball coming quickly
onto the bat the scoring rate should be brisk, and this wicket should produce a good game of
cricket with help for both the batsmen and bowlers at different times in the match. By the
later stages the top surface may begin to show signs of damage and any target set for the
fourth innings may be difficult to chase.

Weather: 6 - Light Cloud

West Indies XI:

D.L.Haynes, C.B.Lambert, R.B.Richardson (c), B.C.Lara, C.L.Hooper, J.C.Adams, D.Williams (wk), R.A.Harper, W.K.M.Benjamin, C.E.L.Ambrose, C.A.Walsh

South Africa XI:

Down 2-1, South Africa make 4 changes for the final match of the series while West Indies swap Winston Benjamin for Kenny Benjamin in their only change.
