Cricket: Hooper inspires victory

A PAKISTAN batting collapse enabled the West Indies to win a tense World Series Cup one-day match by four runs in Adelaide yesterday. It was sparked when the captain, Javed Miandad, was brilliantly caught for 11 by Phil Simmons off the spinner Carl Hooper in the 36th over.
