S Africa stifled

OFFSPINNER Shane Shillingford took two cheap wickets on debut as West Indies stifled South Africa on a weather-spoilt first day of the opening cricket test at Queen's Park Oval on Thursday. The visitors, who won the toss, limped to 70-3 after the entire opening session and half of the post-lunch session were lost to rain. Shillingford, a 27-year-old from Dominica, grabbed 2-5 from six overs. Left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn supported well with 1-21 off 11 overs. Captain Graeme Smith (23) and Alviro Petersen (31) shared an opening stand of 55 to give South Africa a solid platform.
