    Tuesday 4th August, 2009 13 West Indies in T20 consolation win by Craig Cozier BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (AP) - The West Indies romped to a five- wicket victory over Bangladesh in a Twenty20 match on Sunday after a disciplined bowling per- formance and four run outs from direct hits in the field. The home team, weakened throughout the series by the absence of its leading players due to contract wrangles, finally won its first match against Bangladesh on tour after the visi- tors had swept the preceding test and one-day series. The West Indies, led by two wickets and two run outs from Darren Sammy, limited Bangladesh to 118-9 off 20 overs at Warner Park. The hosts lost a wicket on the first ball of its reply but Devon Smith (37 off 27 balls) and Travis Dowlin (37 not out off 37 balls) forged the comfortable path to vic- tory at 119-5 with 19 balls to spare. Bangladesh, after winning the toss and batting, dipped into early trouble when three wickets fell in five balls with the score at 12. Medium-pacer Sammy (2-33) led the way as Junaid Siddique (5) and Mohammad Ashraful (0) were dispatched off successive deliveries. Siddique sliced into the off side from the leading edge, while Ashraful scooped straight to Floyd Reifer holds aloft the winners' short fine leg.

Syria should already have handed over the 1,300 tonnes of toxic chemi- cals declared to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the body overseeing the process with the United Nations under a Russian- American deal. The total shipped so far is a bit more than 140 tonnes. That includes only about five percent of the most toxic priority chemicals.
