    West Indies v England, 1st ODI, Providence
    Dyson blunder hands England shock win
    The Bulletin by Andrew McGlashan
    March 20, 2009
    England 270 for 7 (Collingwood 69, Shah 62) beat West Indies 244 for 7 (Simmons 62, Sarwan 57) by 1 run (D/L method)
    Scorecard and ball-by-ball commentary

    An amazing miscalculation from West Indies coach John Dyson handed England an extraordinary victory in the opening one-day international, at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, when he misread the Duckworth-Lewis chart and called his batsmen in when they were two behind the required target.
    With the light fading Stuart Broad trapped Denesh Ramdin leg-before to tip the D/L target in England's favour, with West Indies needing 27 from 22 balls, yet Dyson insisted his not-out batsmen walk off after reading the sheet in front of him. Andrew Strauss knew his team were ahead, but Dyson needed convincing and went to see the match referee before the result was confirmed. It overshadowed what had been an excellent match and left Dyson with serious questions to answer.
    "When it came down to that last wicket I didn't go across the column," Dyson told Sky Sports. "I went down the wrong column. It's my responsibility, that's it. I've apologised to the team, that's all I can do. It was a bad mistake."
    It was another occasion when cricket didn't do itself many favours, but West Indies only have themselves to blame as they became preoccupied by the light for a few overs before actually walking off. Kieron Pollard clearly wasn't pleased with conditions before pulling James Anderson to deep square-leg where Steve Harmison, who had spilled a seemingly crucial catch moments earlier at long-on off Pollard, clung on, but West Indies were still a fraction ahead.
    That changed when Ramdin fell to the second ball of the 46th over and the next batsman hadn't even taken guard before the light was offered and the players trooped off. Dyson was convinced his team had won, but after frantically waving his clipboard around, he went to see the umpires and soon received the bad news. It brought back memories of Shaun Pollock's misunderstanding of the D/L method during the 2003 World Cup which cost South Africa a place in the Super Sixes.

    John Dyson, a correct and hard-working opener, had a couple of good seasons for Australia at a time when the West Indian fast bowlers ruined the careers of a succession of top-order batsman. He toured England in 1981, and made a superb century at Headingley before Ian Botham's heroics. Dyson was also prolific for NSW. A former soccer player, he entered cricket folklore with an outfield catch at the SCG one day that would have made any goalkeeper proud. After retiring as a player he moved into coaching, taking charge of Sri Lanka in 2003. His appointment came as a surprise, given that he had little coaching experience at higher levels. However, the players warmed to his style, and in 2004 the team arrested a downward slide. His stint lasted nearly two years, before Tom Moody took over. In 2007, Dyson was interested in the India and Bangladesh vacancies, and he eventually edged out his fellow Australian Dav Whatmore for the post of West Indies coach.
