Zimbabwe in West Indies

[jdbais]

Finally Morton is gone

Also, I am not watching the match but I'm following it on cricbuzz and it seems the batsmen are driving a lot of balls straight to fielders which is a bit annoying.

Gayle has just departed as well. Well made 49 from him though.

West Indies are falling apart. Now Ramdin is gone with a LBW by Utseya in his first over. Actually I don't understand why Zimbabwe has brought him so late, since he got three wickets already yesterday. He has shown he can bowl.

West Indies 184/6 after 43 overs. Chanderpaul for a change is one of the top scorers now. He didn't have a good score of runs lately.

WI have got past 240, done just about enough to feel reasonably secure about winning i'd say. Duffin is the key

Duffin's hit on the box...ouuchh ! I hope he is ok and able to resume

 

[ZexyZahid]

Zimbabwe already 22-3 after 7 overs. It will be difficult for Zimbabwe to post a challenge to this.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Zimbabwe require another 177 runs with 7 wickets and 32.1 overs remaining

Dare we dream for the impossible? I mean, Zimbabwe did win all the warmups fairl convincingly...

 

[ZexyZahid]

Zimbabwe needed a good start from Rinke, but he failed again. But Chibhabha is doing fine again.

By now it's Zimbabwe 82/4 (22.3 ov)

Required runrate is 5.85, so it's possible.

Strydom's gone and I think there goes Zimbabwe's chances, they need 6 an over which judging by their recent form, they're not going to get with only 5 wickets left.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Only Chibhabha is batting good. The rest didn't do much.

West Indies is looking towards a victory again. But it wasn't convincing either.

 

[BigCrickNan]

Chibhahabaabaha is gone . Looks like an easy win for teh Windies from here on.

 

[surendar]

I think they have lost 9 wckts for 119!!! So comfortable victory for WI

Presnt score :
Zim 121/9...So this must be easy win for WI!!!!

Zim 144 allout

Good victory by WI!!!!

 

[ZexyZahid]

The cricinfo title says it all: 'Unimpressive West Indies take 2-0 lead'

 

[jdbais]

The West Indies have been experimenting and it must be said it hasn't been too successful so far with Morton opening and Ramdin coming in at 4. They might change the order around for the next match. I think Morton should be dropped. He is not up to ODI standard I'm afraid.

 

[irottev]

Why isn't collymore playin?

 

[ZexyZahid]

I think he is being rested as much as possible for the India series or maybe he has just returned from an injury. Otherwhile I can't think of something else, since he is the best West Indies bowler.

And Taylor is a good promise. He has already won the two Man of the Match awards.

 

[irottev]

Damn, I wish I had of taken Taylor in FC. He had promice when he was here in NZ. He had the odd bad innings though.
