da betsson： Marcus Prior02-May-2001A South African record second wicket stand of 179 between Herschelle Gibbsand Jacques Kallis proved the undoing of the West Indies as South Africa wonthe second one-day international by eight wickets at the Antigua RecreationGround and levelled the seven-match series at 1-1 on Wednesday.Chasing 221 for victory, South Africa reached their target with four overs and one ball to spare.Gibbs was stumped by Ridley Jacobs off Neil McGarrell shortly afterreaching his hundred, his 104 coming off 141 balls and including eight foursand three sixes. It was his fourth one-day hundred.Kallis finished unbeaten on 78 off 112 balls including five fours andtwo sixes, with Jonty Rhodes 21 not out.The stand between Gibbs and Kallis surpassed the 172 made by GaryKirsten and Kallis against New Zealand in Kimberley in 2000-2001. It wasalso the highest for any wicket in a one-day international at the ARG,overtaking the 130 made by Desmond Haynes and Richie Richardson againstIndia in 1989.Both batsmen struck huge sixes out of the ground, Gibbs smashing MarlonSamuels high over midwicket and into a neighbouring churchyard while Kalliswent one better, coming down the wicket to Chris Gayle and lofting him overthe Richie Richardson stand.While McGarrell (1-34 from ten overs) and Cameron Cuffy (1-27 from ten) bothbowled well, the rest of the West Indies attack came in for a fearsomehammering. Nixon McLean saw his first two overs go for 25 runs, Gayleconceded 15 from his two overs, Samuels was hit for two sixes in three ballsby Gibbs and Mervyn Dillon went for six an over.The only chance a near capacity crowd had to really let their hair downwas when Kirsten (5) was bowled by Cuffy to leave South Africa 11-1. Fromthat moment on, it was the Gibbs and Kallis show.Earlier Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s 54-ball 60 helped the West Indiesthrough a stodgy middle period of their innings to enable the home side reach220-8 from their 50 overs.Chanderpaul, normally so correct and compact, delved into a repertoire ofshots reserved strictly for the one-day game, striking two fours and threesixes. Lance Klusener was twice smashed clear of the ropes, once straightback past his head to the sightscreen and then smeared over midwicket.Chanderpaul then hit Allan Donald for a straight six as the runs started toflow.Captain Carl Hooper (48 from 46 balls) shared a fourth wicketpartnership of 86 with Chanderpaul, joining him in the hunt for sixes with aflat drive to the Sir Vivian Richards pavilion off the otherwise impeccableJacques Kallis. Chanderpaul though was one of three run-outs (all avoidable)in the West Indies innings, and Hooper tried one shot too many at ShaunPollock and was caught in the covers.It was Kallis and Donald who did most to restrict the West Indiesscoring, conceding just 25 runs off 12 overs as they came on as first andsecond change. Their tenacity was directly responsible for Leon Garrick’s(16 off 61 balls) needless run-out, and Klusener capitalised on their goodwork with the wickets of Chris Gayle (50 off 72 balls with seven fours) andBrian Lara (13 from 38), both with well-disguised slower balls.Samuels (3) provided the most idiotic of the run-outs as hedabbed the ball straight to Jonty Rhodes and called for the single andKallis bowled McGarrell (3) and had McLean (0) caught at coveroff successive balls in the 50th over.
