Chanderpaul and Nash defy Proteas

Jun 22, 2010 |

South Africa’s grip on the second Test against West Indies was weakened after Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Brendan Nash hit hundreds.
Chanderpaul was undefeated on the top score so far of 158, and Nash made 114, as West Indies reached 450 for four, before rain halted play on the fourth morning. Dwayne Bravo was giving Chanderpaul company on 38. South Africans’ had declared at 543 for six in the first innings.

The Proteas’ bowlers were hamstrung by the friendly Warner Park pitch, and Chanderpaul and Nash filled their troughs in a stand of 220 for the fourth wicket that helped West Indies avoid the follow-on.
Chanderpaul got to his 22nd Test hundred with a square drive for two off Dale Steyn, the same bowler that Nash pulled through square leg for the 12th of his 14 fours to reach his second Test hundred.
Fortune favoured South Africa in the final session, when Nash failed to beat A.B. de Villiers’ direct hit from backward point.
