remained the highest of the match, but was not enough to win the game for the visitors.
Toss was won by the visitors’ captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Gale-c1039, who decided to bat first. He expected the pitch to favour the batsmen, but there was some swing and seam movement in the first half of play, which caused a lot of problems for the batsmen.
