Windies series may be a 'grind'

PROTEAS: BATTERS BOWLERS GET A GOOD WORKOUT

- Jacques van der Westhuyzen

Proteas middle order batter David Bedingham is expecting a "grind" for both the batters and the bowl ers when the first Test against the West Indies gets under way in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago this week.

South Africa warmed up for the first Test which is taking place at the Queen's Park Oval starting on Wednesday, with a drawn match against an Invitational XI in Tarouba over the last four days.

While the batters piled on the runs, the hot weather ensured it was no easy task batting, while the bowlers had to work hard for their wickets.
