😂 😂 😂


0.4 Rampaul to Sibanda, FOUR, intent early on in the play, going short on the off and middle, pulled away over deep mid wicket for a boundary

0.4 Rampaul to Sibanda, 1 wide, pitching on the legs on a shorter length, going down leg, called a wide

0.3 Rampaul to Sibanda, no run, defended on the back foot

0.2 Rampaul to Sibanda, no run, on the off stump, and a tad shorter in length, left alone

0.2 Rampaul to Sibanda, 1 wide, Sibanda steps out and withdraws his stroke at the last moment and shockingly called a wide

0.2 Rampaul to Sibanda, 5 wides, very very wide down the leg side, no control on the ball

0.1 Rampaul to Sibanda, no run, on the good length, and swinging in, defended to point on the front foot

Powell carrying on where Rampaul left off :)
It should b a close game now that gayle is out. lets hope rampual keeps bowling this. The ball must b a bit slippery, theres benn a few wides.

sorry the links isnt working guys, i think i got everyones hopes up!

i have emailed them to ask whats happening, just depends how long it will be until a reply.
yeah i agree taibu needs to score big time. they need to get to 100 without a wicket falling.

8.2 Rampaul to Chibhabha, OUT, fuller in length and swinging away, Chibabha puts a half foot unhesitatingly forward and gets an outside edge. Lewis at second slip dives to his right and takes the catch

CJ Chibhabha c Lewis b Rampaul 6 (16b 0x4 0x6) SR: 37.50


Not looking too good is it. Taibu and Masakadza are our experienced hands. If we ever needed a 100 run partnership, it's now.

most wickets are coming from techinical errors, not just rash shots.

This is a good thing as the coach can fix it, if a player just throws away his wicket like it seemed sibanda did then no help is realy available.

Taibu and Masakadza are our two most technically correct players. Let's hope they put on a decent partnership right now, but really we need to up the run-rate a bit. Zimbabwe have no hope of winning unless they score 240+.

No gayle will make a huge different to west indies, you saw what happened to them when they lost him early in the first game.

True. Parchment is making a debut, so hopefully Brent and Chigumbura can get him early while he's nervous.


12.1 Bravo to Taibu, FOUR, on the good length and keeping the line outside off, Taibu drives through cover for a boundary

Bravo to bowl


Good shot.
they might want to update the tempo a bit

It's going to be tricky maintaining a balance between a decent run rate and keeping wickets in hand. At the moment they are doing neither.

Masakadza out for 6 from 25. Taibu's doing alright, 28 from 41 but needs to start scoring more quickly.

This is turning into a collapse, so sad to see because they are so much better than they are showing.

This is becoming embarrassing. It would be 7/72 if it wasn't for all of the wides.

So, is it still raining in Bulawayo? Let's hope the wind heads east...
