10-Dec-1999Auckland, New Zealand – The West Indies were in early troubleon the opening morning of their four-day tourmatch against Auckland here today (last night Barbados time).At lunch, they were 100 for four wickets with opener SherwinCampbell on 34 and Jimmy Adams 18. The visitorschose to bat on winning the toss in their last preparationmatch prior to the two back-to-back Tests against NewZealand.The first starts in Hamilton December 16, the second inWellington on December 26.Daren Ganga and Shivnarine Chanderpaul both went quickly andcheaply and, after captain Brian Lara stroked foureffortless boundaries in 22 off 22 balls, he deflected aleg-side catch to wicket-keeper Reece Young from anintended pull off fast bowler Richard Morgan.Ganga was opening for the second successive match in theabsence of the left-hander Adrian Griffith who wasstill carrying a reported hamstring injury. He lasted six ballswithout scoring before he got a thin edge to theother opening bowler, Kyle Mills, and was caught by Young.The left-handed Chanderpaul, fresh from an unbeaten 216 in theopening match against New Zealand ?A? in Taupoearlier in the week, was beaten and bowled by Morgan off hissixth delivery for one, bringing Lara in earlierthan he would have hoped for.Ricardo Powell, as usual, showed his hand from early withattacking strokes. He scored 20 from 21 balls and,after hitting Mills for a six, was out next ball to the samebowler.
