South African Invitation XI v West Indians

At Benoni, December 10-12, 2014 (not first-class). Drawn. ‡South African Invitation XI 125 (S. S. Cottrell 5-16) and 17-0; West Indians 508 (D. S. Smith 174, M. N. Samuels 203; T. Shamsi 3-106). The Invitation XI chose from 13 players, and the West Indians 16. After Sheldon Cottrell proved his fitness with five wickets in 6.1 overs, the tourists amassed a huge lead, mainly thanks to Devon Smith and Marlon Samuels, who put on 360 for the third wicket at more than six an over before Samuels retired; Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who had been padded up for 59 overs, was out second ball. Bad weather prevented any play on the third day.
