SA off to strong start
South African openers Graeme Smith and Alviro Petersen got their team off to a bright start in the second Test against the West Indies here on Friday.
The visitors were 104/1 when rain stopped play forcing the players to take early lunch on day one. After electing to bat first at Warner Park, skipper Smith and Petersen were off the blocks quickly scoring at six per an over, as pacers Kemar Roach and Ravi Rampaul erred in length.
