Great knock again by Lara, I predicted a century from him and I was right... for once.

Fantastic story and well presented as always.
 
lol...westindies have got this in the bag...it's just the matter of how quickly they can get ZIM out and go home for tea...

P.S the umpire looks scary...

West Indies Won With Ease In A One Sided Game

West Indies won their 1st qualifying match with ease and with a huge margin of 227 runs and have certainly announced that they are also strong contender of the Champions Trophy . After posting a massive total of 317 on the board , W.I. bowled out Zimbabwe for just 90 runs . It was a poor performance by Zimbabwe but West Indies bowled superbly and Lara kept the pressure on by placing a tight field .Bradshaw , Bravo and Gayle picked up 3 wickets each while J.Taylor picked up 1 wicket but he troubled all the batsmen with his pace. Lets take a look at the positive and negetive aspects of this innings .


Positive Aspects :

+ West Indies have a strong bowling lineup for this tournament.
+ Bradshaw and Bravo bowled a controlled line and length.
+ Bravo troubled the batsmen with his slower balls resulting in wickets .
+ J.Taylor was bowling with pace .


Negetive Aspects :
- Zimbabwe batting is exposed .
- J.Taylor instead of bowling with pace got just 1 wicket and gave away runs in the start but then bowled 2 maidens when wickets were falling from other end.


J.Taylor opened the West Indian bowling . He was bowling with pace and ZImbabwe openers were bit surprised in the start . Diffin got one on the gloves but he kept that down nicely . But then Zimbabwe openers used the pace of Taylor and then started placing the ball in the gaps and were scoring in boundaries .

Ian Bradshaw was bowling a good line and length and was keeping a teasing line just on and around the off stump . Soon he was rewarded with 2 wickets in and over . 1st to depart was Sibanda who was in two minds whether to play the ball or to leave it but was then trapped in front and not offering any shot . Next to go was Masakadsa who just survived 1 ball and then tried to pull Bradshaw from the off stump and managed to get a top edge and Lara took a simple catch .
Bradshaw's two quick wickets :

After two quick wickets Zimbabwe were pushed on the backfoot . Lara got an aggressive field and batsmen were feeling the pressure . Bradshaw was mixing it nicely . He was bowling on the offstump line and then bowling a short one . Batsmen had no clue and were leaving the ball outside offtump. Bradshaw bowled 3 outswingers in a row outside the offstump and then bowled an inswinger and trapped Mufambisi in front . Umpire had no hesitation to give that one out .
Bradshaw's 3rd wicket :

After the fall of 3 wickets J.Taylor was feeling easy from the other end and then he started to bowl brilliantly and bowled 2 maidens . He got the batsmen hopping around and the made the bastmen to make mistakes . Strydom trying to play one on the leg side was judged LBW off the bowling of Taylor . That was dead straight and was surely hitting the stumps .
Taylor came back strongly:

D.Bravo was brought in as the 1st change bowler and trobled the batsmen with his slower ball . Bravo's slower ball is an effective one as he usually takes wickets on those . Bravo sneaked in with 3 quick wickets and ZImbabwe found themselves in deeper trouble . Matsikenyeri was the 1st victim on Bravo who tried to smash him over his head but the ball missed the bat and Matsikenyeri was bowled for just 6 runs . Next ball K.Meth was trapped LBW by Bravo with a full slower delivery and Meth played that early and was plum in front . Diffin's good innings of 33 finally came to an end when Bravo yorked him and got the leg stump uprooted.
Bravo's 3 wickets :

Chris gayle completed the formalities by picking up the final 3 wickets . He bowled on the stumps and the Zim batsmen were a lot inexperienced to play the bowling of Gayle . Gayle got the final wicket of the match as Zimbabwe were bowled out for just 90 runs . West Indies won by 227 runs .
Gayle completed the formalities:

Scorecard :
Terrible batting by Zimbabwe.

Bowling Card:
Just four bowlers used by Lara but take a look at that everyone in the wickets column
