West Indies v Zimbabwe, 1st Test, Bridgetown, 12-16 March, 2013

His carrom ball? Have to agree to disagree. His action is ragged and all over the place.

It was the Ox too ...Qbarnabies have never been known for their counting ...some have been known to confuse 1 with minus 20 billion

There's a bit around ATM, one could start to get dramatic if one had time. Off the top of my head -

Regular international chuckers:

Pak: Ajmal
SL: Eranga
India: Bhajji/Ojha/Ashtray
WI: Shillingford/Samuels
NZ: Williamson
Zim: Utseya
SA ; Botha

That's a lot.

and a few more

Epic fail. Posted on the day that Botha asked to be released from this SA central contract.

hopefully the West Indies can dominate this series ... they need to

fuqqit ... I feel really dirty after this unintentional woof

Jarvis looks okay. Better than other minnows are fielding anyway.

Unplayable monster of a delivery gets Gayle. 81-4 - can the mighty Zims achieve parity? I'm predicting Chanderpaul says no.

Superb stuff from ZIM so far!! They should go on to take the lead

To add to this, Brian Vitori's also dodgy, and also completely missing this season. Fastest bowler the Zimbots have.

And Samuels' gone. 5/144. Decent session for the Bots.

Crapulent stroke by Chanders. Four for Jarvis.

When does the Finn rule come into effect?

Pleased to see the Windies are going the tonk - they have totally no stickability and have shammed along in this innings - scores level.

I tell you, not only are we awash with chuckers, but there're not many batsmen worth their salt, either. FTBs.

Cricket is dead.

How shitty is Graeme Cremer? Another ten tests and he could be the most crapulent leg spinner

Only because McGain only got one test.

Rawl Lewis and John Watkins would be 'up' there with McGain. McGain did at least earn his chance in FC cricket and has the 'excuse' of running into a very decent side with some world class batsmen in good form on a good wicket.

Looking back at Watkins' career it is hard to see how he jagged even one Test. His main qualification (apart from being a Dubber) was being available for the 1973 West Indies tour when Ashley Mallett was not. Why they persisted with the nonsensical selection AFTER his 'audition' in the last match v Pakistan in that series remains, to this day, a mystery of Bruce Francisian magnitude. Needless to say Watkins did not play a Test on tour, nor IIRC did he even play another FC match. It was a disaster all round - for Australia, and for Watkins, who had to endure a whole tour of being reminded by Chappelli that he was just a passenger. If there had ever been any hope of him developing, that experience would have snuffed it out.

Tino bowling a load of old pony

Good times.

Hardly breaking news, but the Zimmers are shite. 3 for -55 at Stumps on Day 2.

A decent attack would have had them six down.

Taylor looked crap in each of them 6 balls.

Still a decent effort by the bots, expected them to be blown away as in New Zealand. Especially with their off field issues resurfacing again.

And Price gone. Will do well to avoid an innings defeat.

They are now being blown away. Waller gone, soft. 6/58

Bah, Shillingford wrong un bowls Chakabva. Innings win now

Still not an innings loss!
