Cricket - 3/4/09

Flintoff at the crease - not a day for him with the bat but he took a hat-trick as part of his 5-19 which was unbelievable to be a part of

The partnership between Pietersen and Bopara was critical for building the winning total.

The big day arrived - the fifth and final decider in the one-day international series between the West Indies and England. Exciting was not the word. It was raining when we arrived at the ground and we had to wait four hours for play to start. The atmosphere in the ground was unbelievable and the time just whipped by. The match was limited to 29 overs apiece and also passed in a daze. You can see the scorecard here. We won, it was superb. When Flintoff took his hat-trick I was stunned and euphoric. A great game.
