I sure hope you're right zimdan! :)

Our friend at bhejafry.net might be able to show this game, if it is indeed on Star Cricket. The link is http://www.bhejafry.net/cricket/starcricket.html (Internet Explorer only... might need Sopcast installed. Come the beginning of the match, I will post here whether it works or not as I already have the software installed) but he was unsure when I asked him, so it's a real 50/50.

Williams is also waiting but i feel he will be left out.


he was not required to bAt in last game and he did not bowl too much either so batter to replace him with some one who can do one thing well. either pick a batter or pick a bowler i think maruma can even prove more handy if the pitch remain same and zim bat well his spinning option can proved really tough for WI if he be able to control his line. well williams can be the most suitable option if he fits he really should be included.


He got out for a duck and bowled one over for nine runs. Dabengwa is the floating man in the middle order, I feel he is the disposable one - ie. when Williams returns it will be in place of Dabengwa.

Having said that, I'd be happy if Zim went with an unchanged lineup for this game. Don't fix what ain't broke (until Williams returns).

Cricinfo is lagging a bit as well.

Cricbuzz has the quickest commentary at the moment (hopefully Cricinfo catch up soon, they have a better interface :mrgreen: ) - you can read it at http://www.cricbuzz.com/live-cricket-sc ... ary-4.html

0.6 Chigumbura to Smith, OUT, what a start for Zimbabwe, Chigumbura strikes, It was on a good length and coming in, Smith misjudges the line and lets it go, the ball strikes the stumps.

DS Smith b Chigumbura 2 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 40.00

1.2 Brent to Gayle, no run, loud appeal for lbw turned down as the ball strikes high on the pad


Gee, West Indies are shaky. Great start for Zimbabwe.

Im so suprised with the lack of boundries hit by the Windies, our boys must be bowling really well.

No stream working as we have it, im still on the lookout.

Me too. If you find anything, let us know. It's very hard to find Star Sports India... Star Sports (rest of Asia) is virtually everywhere though :?

Brent is bowling really well at the moment.

GB Brent 2.5-1-3-0 (econ 1.05)

anything under 270 would be excellent for zimbabwe.

We can chase anything under that, over that i feel our inexperince will get the better of us.

Just nipping in for two minutes - definitely not the best of starts for Zim. While Price and Utseya have done a good job bringing down the run-rate (and if Dabengwa can manage a few more at 2/over!), we really need to get some wickets - if WI still have 8 wickets in hand come the last 10 overs, they'll really be able to open up...

Maybe you should stick around for a few more minutes. A hat-trick would be nice 😂

If I though it would work, I'd hang around all day..! :) Dabengwa doing his best to make up for a poor performance on Friday, it seems...
yes another wicket. and Chanderpaul thats a big wicket. the probably need another fast bowler Zimbabwe. I would of given Mpofo or Muparwia ago

Dabengwa and Utseya getting through the overs very quickly - good ploy. If we get through another 5 in good time and restrict WI, they are going to all of a sudden find themselves under a bit of pressure, which will hopefully create opportunities for the bowlers.
i wonder who will come on when the spinners stop and who will bowl at the death
ZCF Hall of Famer
Big difference with WI today is that they're prepared to go for the boundaries - playing far more agressively than in the first match. Still, if Zim can keep them to around 5/over overall, then we'll still have a target that's in the region we can chase...
