Zimbabwe in West Indies

[rocklara]

Zimbabwe have been dismissed for 151 all out. Windies should win it from here, but recent history has shown that eve 150 will be too much

When I read cricinfo it said West Indies stumble chasing 152, I was like OMG they lost. Then I click it and it shows WI win by 5 wickets. Dam mis leading titles!

Anyway good win for the Windies, Zimbabwe's top order at least looks to be their strength unlike previous years where it was their lower order. But it helps if other guys outside the 4 make runs.

Utseya has been going really well this tour. The two tour matches he was economical and this one he took wickets. Looks to be a good prospect for them.

Zimbabwe can take a lot from this game, their bowling and fielding was very good but the batting wasn't good enough, albeit they had the worst of the conditions. If they sort their batting out this series could be close.

Good to see Lara hit a positive 40 to finish it off, WI definately need him on form.

yea good to see the skippy finish off the game for em...However, they need to show up in a better outfit tomorrow..

Zimbabwe will always have problems with their batting. You just need to go back to the Kenya series when Kenya bowled them out for under 100. These young guys just aren't ready for the big time. There is talent there for they just don't have the technique to survive.

Fielding has always been the strength of Zimbabwean cricket. Zimbabwe really need some of their batsmen to return to the side if they are going to be any threat at all.

West Indies won pretty comfortably really.

The West Indies weren't at their best but still managed to win comfortably. Just shows how poor Zimbabwe really are at the moment.

it actually shows how poor WI's form is. To face difficulties scoring 150 against Zimbabwe is a serious issue, and they may want to correct that ASAP.

Reading through some of the match reports it didn't appear the pitch was the best for batting. Maybe somebody who actually saw the game can confirm this.

West Indies won the toss and elected to bat.

It's the same ground as yesterday, so maybe a high score can't be expected again.

 

[jdbais]

Same story as yesterday but this time it's the other way around.

WI 30/0 after 10 overs.

 

[ZexyZahid]

There was an over with 16 runs it it. That really helped the runrate going up.

West Indies 68/0 (16.0 Ovs)

Gayle is playing normal, but Morton is pretty slow so far.

 

[jdbais]

If Morton is gonna bat that slowly then he doesn't deserve to be in the One Day side. I remember he made a real slow century against New Zealand as well.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Well, he is out now. He has hit some fifties in previous matches, so I assume that's why he has been given a chance. Probably the pitch is playing a role too. It would be good for him to open also in another ground, just to see if it's his opening problem or just the pitch.
