West Indies v Zimbabwe, 2nd Test, Roseau, 20-24 March, 2013

Will the Zimmers get past 3 days?

No rikki?

Start delayed by a wet outfield.

But not by much. West Indies winning the toss and bowling

Utseya in and Taylor keeping.

Mawoyo leaves a straight one.

Gay

142/5 and the ball is ragging square on the first afternoon. FFS - have they forgotten how to prepare pitches these days?

Miserable stuff from Zim - 175 all out. The chuckerati took eight wickets between them.

Gotta rate Jarvis. He seems to have something about him. Just handed Daz Braav his first blob.

Shame Steve Backley and Mick Hill had to chuck their way to minnow wickets.

So, a triple for Crystal then?

very cool

for the glossary?

Yeah.......

Ok. Well. This game's a formality. Shivers and Yeah Viv are totally set and look more than assured.

Shiv wrecks another ton. The man is a machine.

I think that's now hundreds against every test playing nation for Shiv. Hadn't made one against Zimbabwe before today.

Only 101 to Crystal. Musta got bored. And Shiv crabs another ton with a strike rate in the 30s.

Come now skulls... you'd love to be saying the same thing about reinvent

Absolutely Dan. I'd love a few crab tons from our shithouse top 6. Alas, I think pretty (or even ugly) 20s may be the order of the day when we bat.

Crikey, Chanders 106 from 284 balls. I bet that was worth the admission money!

Can someone just ask him how many runs he wants in the next two years and then just give them to him. It will save us all a lot of boredom.

Says the man whose team's top 3 comprises the utter snoozefest that is Cook, Compton and Trott....

But I'd kill to have a top 3 as good as yours in spite of their mind numbing style of play, and what I would have given for just one more Shiv playing for us over the last decade, we'd have won a lot more matches.

Chatara's better than the gash that Mpofu usually is. One good thing from the injury.

Crikey, another 3 day thumping for the hapless Zimmers. Well done to the Ganjas.

Might as well play more against the A or B teams rather than getting shat on each time in tests.

The chuckers wreck Zimbo. They did it by chucking.

Samuels and Shillingford ... what a blight on the game.

Samuels' batting is excused.
