Following a mid-pitch collision between Barbadian batting hero Sherwin Campbell and Australian bowler, Brendon Julian, in the final game of a tense and enthralling One-Day series.

Campbell fell and never made it to his end of the wicket. While still on the ground, he appealed to umpire Eddie Nicholls who gave him "run out".

As Campbell made his way to the pavilion, rebellion erupted. Bottles began to fly on to the grounds, firstly one by one; then by the tens. Then there were two concrete blocks, chicken bones, two plastic chairs - almost anything patrons laid their hands on.

The entire perimeter of Kensington was littered with missiles. The players made their way to the dressing room and more missiles trailed them. Australian captain Steve Waugh narrowly missed being struck by a bottle as he was about to enter the pavilion, escorted by police.

Close to 100 policemen and policewomen and the Task Force took over the grounds, watching the crowds and protecting the wicket while officials conferred and fans debated.

The crowd rebellion took place in the 29th over when the West Indies were 138 for one, chasing a target of 253 to tie the series 3-3.
The noisy Kensington Stand crowd continued to express dissent, chanting: "We want Campbell!" and "Campbell, come back!" and patriotically singing the National Anthem.

They got their wish. Immediate applause engulfed the Oval.

It was Sir Garry's voice which announced the Australian team had agreed to allow Campbell to resume his innings. By then, the field had been cleared of all the missiles and play restarted at 4:30 p.m. with the West Indies target reduced to 196 and 11 overs left.

Indeed, Campbell, who had 52 runs when initially given out, found himself at the centre of all that was bad and good yesterday.

He eventually fell for 62, paving the path for a West Indian victory. That effort earned him the Man-of-the-Match and sealed adjudicators' decision that he was also Man-of-the-Series for the One-Day competition for his 312 runs (44.57 average).
