Grant Dugmore (Argentina coach)14-Aug-2000Toronto, Canada – Yet again so near but so far for the spirited Argentina cricketteam. A horrible bowling start saw the USA race into a commanding position before adetermined fightback and some characteristicly outstanding fielding, on the groundand in the air, saw Argentina bowl out the USA for 243 in 47 overs. Another resoluteand intelligent batting display saw Argentina on target nearly all the way through,until later in the innings when the pressure of runs and a sudden USA hat-trick sawArgentina’s innings end for 202 in the 49th over. Hero was Argentina’s Player of theSeries, Matias Paterlini, with a cultured 63, well-supported by 37 from skipperKirschbaum, and 34 from make-shift opener Perez Rivero. At one point 78 without loss,and later 142 for 1, too many careless runs, in my opinion in excess of 80, givenaway by untidy bowling, saw the task tantalisingly out of reach.
