***Official*** West Indies in Zimbabwe 2017

[Stapel]

His fitness levels are atrocious atm. Did you see how much he was struggling in the recent ODI series?

I guess it is not an ideal world then!

 

[marc71178]

Apart from that, in an ideal world, it would be Chris Gayle. He might have the reputation of the world's hardest T20 6-hitter, but let's not forget he is a damn fine Test opening batsman!

And continuing to live off past glories it seems...

 

[loterry]

yeah Gayle was a great test player, there's no way he can ever go back though, especially with his fitness and back, he can't just stand around hitting 4's and 6's all day

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah, what everyone else has said about Gayle.

They really need to get Bravo back in for the ****ter Hope

 

[Stapel]

And continuing to live off past glories it seems...

Yup. Guilty here.

 

[loterry]

will windies even declare if they use up most of today's overs lol

 

[Stapel]

would like two see both of them get a century especially dowrich

Getting there!

 

[loterry]

just cant see zimbabwe surviving when they bat now

 

[Bijed]

Shame neither of them kicked on much after reaching their tons, but at least they both got there. Fantastic partnership.

 

[Pratters]

no

Didn't get there comfortably or any thing like you thought they would.

 

[Stapel]

Shame neither of them kicked on much after reaching their tons, but at least they both got there. Fantastic partnership.

Well, you indeed shouldn't complain. Apparently. it was 88 years ago, when both the #8 & #9 batsmen scored centuries.

 

[Pratters]

Nice fightback so far.

 

[loterry]

Draw looks quite possible now will depend on the 1st session tommorow and new ball although I have no faith in Zimbabwe’s lower order

 

[mr_mister]

Sikanda Raza is killing it. Gotta be man of the match even if Zimbabwe lose by 10 wickets

 

[weldone]

If it ends in a draw surely Brathwaite and Powell will have something to answer for.

 

[mr_mister]

Nah I think they were under instructions to just make sure they got a series victory. That's what affects ICC rankings not white washes

Fans might see it differently of course

If it ends in a draw surely Brathwaite and Powell will have something to answer for.

Without seeing the match beyond a few minutes of highlights, perhaps it could be argued their stonewalling on Day 2 helped mentally and physically wear down the Zimbabwe bowling attack and enabled in part the Holder/Dowrich partnership.

 

[loterry]

wonder if zimbabwe can get a lead of 150, if they did they i definitely see this going to a draw, it's just a shame their run rate is so slow

 

[StephenZA]

I hope Raza can get to his century...
