Zimbabwe Tour of West Indies 2010

[khalek]

Taibu is really accelerating now, 250-260 will really challenge WI. I just get the feeling that Chanderpaul will be the key for WI here if they wanna chase that sort of total.

 

[Dare]

Rain? Man I just got up early for this and rain starts, well this sucks.

 

[AkshayS]

SIbanda is playing good.

 

[Dare]

Looks like 250+ is on the cards. It will be hard to chase bot hopefully Chanderpaul and Gayle can step up.

 

[gougie]

Real quality innings, hard work deservered 100, but what a delivery to play with half a bat lol.

 

[MUFC1987]

Bit harsh that really, played it well enough to get something on it and still got no reward.

 

[Gaurav_7]

I'm supporting Zimbabwe. Hopefully, they can pull off an upset here.

 

[Dare]

lol swung so hard to stop the yorker he broke his bat on the ground. Good innings from him, the strike rate wasn't the best but thats not what matter for Zimbabwe.

Dare added 6 Minutes and 7 Seconds later...

2 spinners in a WI lineup with a 3rd part-time spinner. Looks like they cant play pace rather then spin, would have been more useful taking another quick over miller.

I would say they only struggled against Roach because it was extreme pace, because they won't have seen much of that against the associate countries. I don't think putting a fast medium like Rampaul in the side would have caused them anywhere near as many problems as Roach did.

Roach isn't the only real quick in the Caribbean.
If not another quick then leave Sammy who actually got wickets against them in the 20/20.

I don't see why. Zimbabwe have some very capable batsmen, as they are showing. This sort of attitude annoys me. Everyone sees it's Zimbabwe and thinks they should be rolled over for 120 or something, rather than looking at the players that make up that team and coming to a decision that way. West Indies should just be looking to win, not to try to win by 10 wickets with 30 overs left or something stupid like that.

What on earth are you talking about? The West Indies should be concerned because they failed to take wickets, allowed Zimbabwe to build; albeit slowly; and post a total that based on recent form and local conditions, will actually challenge them.

The West Indies shouldn't be concerned because Zimbabwe suck, they should be concerned because they suck. If they were happy with 1/120 after 30 overs, then they should not have been. Their attack sorely needs wicket takers.

 

[Dare]

Their attack sorely needs wicket takers.

And this is where the absence of Edwards, Taylor and Bravo is felt the most. All 3 are capable wickets takers and would have made a difference today.

Which channel is showing this match in India?
EDIT: oh got it, Zee Sports. Gayle to score 100 here.

 

[Dare]

Gayle to score 100 here.

Not by the look of things at the start.

Dare added 5 Minutes and 47 Seconds later...

So weird seeing a spinner walking down the pitch and having a go at the batsman.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Probably he was expecting some pace bowling. . There you go, firework stars. I thought Zee sports sucks but it is awesome. 5 overs without a comersial break.
