It could be bravado, optimism or just a desperate man clutching at straws. Whatever it is, West Indies captain Shivnarine Chanderpaul is adamant that his side, down 2-0 to South Africa in the five-match Digicel One-Day International Series, can rebound and win the series. Led by an unbeaten 60 from opener Boeta Dippenaar, the South Africans registered a second eight-wicket triumph over the West Indies in as many days, for a commanding advantage in the series. "The same way South Africa came out and win two games we can come out and win three games," Chanderpaul told the media in a post-game interview. "... Anything is possible, we still believe in ourselves and we will stay positive all the time," he added. Thanks to accurate bowling early on, the South Africans, who won the toss and sent the homeside in, restricted them to 152-7 off the allotted 50 overs, before cruising to victory - a revised target of 124 off 33 overs - at 124 for two after 26.4 overs. The target was revised after showers forced a 70-minute stoppage in the South African innings after eight overs. "We lost some early wickets... and the wicket was a little bit low and the ball was gripping, but with the total on the board, it was already there and anything was possible. We just needed to go out there and put the balls in the right areas and anything can happen for you," the captain said. For the West Indies to keep the series alive when they journey to Barbados for the crucial third game on Wednesday, they must win, and Chanderpaul is clear on what the team needs to do. "We need to think more on our cricket," he said. "Our batters need to stand up, they need to lay the foundation... to give us a score to fight with." He said that the South African bowlers "always get something with the new ball", because "they always put the ball in the right areas and get it to move around", and his team will have to be ready for it. South African skipper Graeme Smith was a satisfied man at day's end. "The last two days have been unbelievable, the intensity in the field, the half stops, the half chances... are all crucial to winning one-day cricket, but from a bowling point of view, I was really satisfied today," he said. And he noted that although the pitch was slow, his bowlers did their part, which enabled them to keep a tight reign on the Windies. He said: "The wicket was a little slow, but we bowled in the right areas and we kept them under pressure and we didn't let them get away." Now, according to the Smith, the focus is on sweeping the series, though the next major objective is Wednesday's series-clinching match. "We are looking to win all five, and the one in Barbados is really important for a series win... We want to do well there and hopefully leave there with a series win."
