His first two overs were very impressive maidens. He looked to be getting some swing and it had me wondering why he's bad mouthed so much. He certainly bowled well of what I saw and his fielding off his bowling was superb.Chubb said:Zimbabwe can win this...
And Mahwire finally got some test wickets. You have to wish him well really, it's not his fault he keeps getting picked.
I am not discrediting Zimbabwe, but for those of us who saw the pitch repair and weather this morning it's not surprising that they are getting more support bowling wise.Mr. Ponting said:Sorry Liam, but you have to admit Zimbabwe have done well to get to the position they are in, and yes, they have a good chance of winning. I think it will be a draw, but if Zimbabwe can get early wickets tommorro, who knows?
I haven't blamed the conditions as yet. My comments were in defense of my lifeless pitch comments, because yesterday the pitch was dead.Tim said:You cannot make excuses about the fact that Zim selected a spin bowler & the West Indies didn't but fair point that the pitch had an unfair advantage yesterday after that roller incident.
But I don't see how you can blame conditions or the pitch that much considering both Hinds & Ganga scored 70 each on it at a very good clip supposedly when the conditions were at their worst.
You mean Ganga. They batted very well with few problems, but ultimately neither should have been out. Ganga was EXTREMELY unlucky and Hinds gave his hand away.Mr. Ponting said:Tim, thats exactly what I mean. Gayle and Hinds proved you can bat on this pitch, so I don't think anything should be taken away from Zimbabwe.
Yeah well, you know what i mean.Mr Mxyzptlk said:You mean Ganga. They batted very well with few problems, but ultimately neither should have been out. Ganga was EXTREMELY unlucky and Hinds gave his hand away.
