A Climax by Dyson - The coach
England 270 for 7 (Collingwood 69, Shah 62) beat West Indies 244 for 7 (Simmons 62, Sarwan 57) by 1 run (D/L method)- A miscalculation from West Indies coach John Dyson handed England an extraordinary victory in the opening odi.
- 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.
- The light was fading when Stuart Broad trapped Denesh Ramdin leg-before to tip the D/L target in England's favour.
- 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.
