Campbell, crowds help Windies level

AGENCIES  
BRIDGETOWN, April 26: Spectators hurled bottles into the outfield, marring the West Indies' series-leveling victory yesterday in the final One-Day cricket International against Australia.

After the disturbance caused a 45-minute delay, the West Indies eventually passed a revised target. The seven-match series finished level at 3-3 with one draw.

Fans littered the outfield with bottles and debris, causing a tension-filled stoppage after local batsman Sherwin Campbell was controversially run out after colliding with bowler Brendon Julian while scampering for a single. Campbell had been batting with confidence in compiling 52 off 90 balls when he was inadvertently felled by Julian after Shivnarine Chanderpaul called for a single.

The Aussies sought cover in the players' pavilion as glass and plastic bottles continued to litter the outfield, narrowly missing players.

At that stage, the West Indies were 138 for two off 29 overs.

International Cricket Council match referee Raman Subba Row met with umpires and team officials as grounds staff cleared the outfield. While officials talked, fans chanted ``We want Campbell''.

Subba Row eventually decided that the match would continue with Campbell reinstated and the West Indies target adjusted according to the complicated Duckworth-Lewis system.

Campbell, who was named Man of the Match and Man of the Series, went on to score 62 off 102 balls before he was dismissed. By then, the target was well within reach. Earlier, Australia's total was set up by its lower order, which revived them from the peril of 119 for six. All-rounders Tom Moody, with an unbeaten 50, and Shane Lee, 47, shared a vital stand of 56 for the seventh wicket.
