South Africa v West Indies 0-0 LATEST ACTION AS IT HAPPENS (ALL TIMES BST)
South Africa v West Indies 0-0 LATEST ACTION AS IT HAPPENS (ALL TIMES BST)
e-mail tms@bbc.co.uk (with 'For Stevo' in the subject) or use 606 or text 81111 And the teams are in... South Africa: Graeme Smith (capt), Mark Boucher, Abraham de Villiers, Herschelle Gibbs, Justin Kemp, Albie Morkel, Morne Morkel, Makhaya Ntini, Vernon Philander, Shaun Pollock, Johan van der Wath. West Indies: Ramnaresh Sarwan (capt), Dwayne Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Fidel Edwards, Chris Gayle, Daren Powell, Denesh Ramdin, Ravi Rampaul, Marlon Samuels, Devon Smith, Dwayne Smith. 1642: Here's that toss then, masterminded by Ian Bishop. Graeme Smith flips, Ramnaresh Sarwan calls incorrectly and the South Africans are going to have a bowl. Expect a lot of that over the next two weeks as the teams try to figure out what a reasonable score is in 20 overs. "Afternoon Stevo. Welcome to the carnage that is the BBC clockwatch, good luck to you and one piece of advice... make sure you post Sarah Canterbury's e-mails... or there will be trouble... and hell hath no fury like Sarah Canterbury scorned."
Jamie, Northants Sarah Canterbury, bring it on. 1633: The fireworks have stopped and the action is almost upon us. Coming soon, the toss... "The World Twenty20 is difficult to predict. It's like the lottery. If I have to pick a team to win it it would have to be England. The English players are very famillar with this fast food version of the game."
djkbrown2001, via 606 1630: How Dirsy and Tommy F will rue the day they accepted a six-week holiday in France. To think, they could have been sat in an office in Shepherd's Bush creating history. If you're missing them, and I'm sure many of you are...

1627: Today is not a day for soundbites, as a wise man once told us. But I do feel the hand of history upon our shoulders. In time, people will look back at today as the dawn of a bright new era of international cricket. They said cricket could never be cool. Can't it? 1619: Fireworks explode all around the Wanderers in Johannesburg as the South Africans kick off the tournament with a music-heavy opening ceremony. The fans are in fabulous spirits - let's hope they have more fireworks to get stuck into later. 1605: Now then. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to the BBC's coverage of the inaugural World Twenty20 tournament in South Africa. I hope you're ready for two weeks of utter carnage as cricket unleashes its newest competition on the watching world.
