When cricket took a backseat



Kingston (Jamaica), July 2 (IANS) For a few minutes after lunch on the second day of the fourth Test against India Saturday, the West Indian batsmen in the middle would have wondered whether they were at Sabina Park or at Eden Gardens.

Dwayne Bravo and Ramnaresh Sarwan (runner in tow) were the batsmen who walked out after lunch, with West Indies struggling at 80 for 5 in reply to India's 200.

There were not any cheers from the Sabina Park faithful as they walked in. On the contrary, a roar went up from the stands moments after Bravo got out, the fourth ball after the break. And there were several more as Harbhajan Singh seemed to tying the West Indian tail in knots.

The reason was the Football World Cup quarter-final between Portugal and England. It was deadlocked after regulation and extra-time play and the penalty shoot-out was in process.

Each time Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo saved a penalty - he did that three times - fans watching the game in the stadium, flocking around the few television sets there, cheered, loudly and vigorously and explosively after Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winner for Portugal.

It was obvious which country the Jamaicans wanted to win. Even in the press box, all but one of the West Indian journalists - he was from Barbados, wearing a Beckham shirt, and Barbados is known as 'Little England' in these parts - backed Portugal and he was mercilessly ribbed after the loss.

The roars, however, were soon back for the West Indian cricketers - horns blowing, klaxons blaring - especially as paceman Jerome Taylor removed Indian openers Wasim Jaffer and Virender Sehwag in his first two overs in the second innings. Things were back to normal.
