West Indies v Zimbabwe, 3rd ODI, Kingstown, Mar 10

Will the Windies be or ?

What do you mean Gayle got out for 33 after battering the opening bowling?

ZIM doing well again

Uteysa bags Barath - both openers for WI gone.


After 25.4 overs, West Indies are 87/2.

Slow progress and the Zimbabwean spinners are really tightening the screw.

Hopefully Cremer will make an impact. 0/3 so far.

All ZIM need now is a quick bowler like Aamer

Bar groinage problems.

Timycen Maruma bowls all googlies?



Nice.

WI 225/7.


‘Oh, butter my arse!’

PP's faith in fast bowlers has seemingly paid off....


0.3


Roach to Sibanda, OUT, what a yorker! 90mph, just short of the crease, and through him even before the bat comes down, and the off stump cartwheels. The last time Roach bowled such a yorker to Vusi, his bat came down, but the ball broke through the bat and took the stump. No bat here, what a ripper to begin here


V Sibanda b Roach 0 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Yet another horrible slow/low turner perfectly suited for spinners of any description. Great job WICB, really play to our strengths!

Sammy triggers a collapse.


75/6. Zimbo's in trouble, can't see them winning from here. Impossible.

That's liquid cricket from Sammy.....

AND ANOTHER...


75/7...

WI finally showing their class

Zimbabwe finally showing their minnow status....


There was us thinking they had turned a corner....

Well the pitch, although it is still a slow turner, has a tiny bit of sideways movement. Zimbabwe don't have a single seamer of repute (PP's nightmare) and their batsman can't negotiate pace or movement.

Ah, this is the Zimbots we know and hate.

time to bring back my buddy Brighton before he starts playing for the US...ok he is not really my BUDDY but i just know him...

Last time i played against him(in 2003) he was VERY fast to a point that he was made to play as a specialist batsman due to safety reasons

LOL PP, anybody who bowls over 80mph would be a huge bonus for this Zimbabwe team.

Zim's biggest problem is that their country is farked up otherwise they could have been a top 5 test team by now

p.s high carbs diet like the one displayed in your avatar is not good for fast bowlers WIF

I'd like to say normal service has been resumed. But normal service, for mine, would have seen the WIndies run up 330 before reducing Zimbabwe to a pile of rubble. Still, it's a start.

Man if given a choice between giving up bake n shark or fast bowling I would choose to keep eating the shark in a heart beat . You can't beat the Trini out of me!

What? That's got shark in it?

I'm sure it tastes great, but it looks like something I'd buy at 3am on a Saturday morning.

They call it shark but it's not necessarily actual shark meat, it can be a variety of fish. Trust me it tastes good, particularly when consumed at Richards on Maracas Bay after having far too much Carib.

Sounds nice

About bloody time.
