*Official* West Indies in Zimbabwe Thread

[Craig]

Going on the form of Edwards start to his international career, Edwards will take 5 or so wickets and go at bugger all an over.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Well Edwards and Rampaul are playing with Powell missing out.

68/0 after 11 overs.

CH Gayle 50 (31)

Tremendous shots some of them.

 

[Craig]

WI 96/0 after off 15 overs.

Gayle is showing his complete disregard for any Zimbawean bowler by blasting 51* off 33 balls.

Honestly this is such slow batting by Gayle :P

Gayle 51*(33b 7x4 3x6) Hinds 35*(57b 4x4 1x6)

BTW Streak won the toss and decided to bowl.

 

[Craig]

Gayle gone next ball. He got bored.

 

[Craig]

Gayle was caught by Taibu off Ervine.

Lara scoring a slow 2* off 12 balls

WI 101/1 off 17.4 overs.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Gayle gone next ball. He got bored.

I find that hard to believe considering he attempted to run a slower ball down to third man :rolleyes:. It was a great catch that dismissed Gayle, he didn't give away his wicket.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Lara scoring a slow 2* off 12 balls

A whole 12 balls??? Say it isn't so!

 

[Craig]

Relax man, I wasnt being serious.

 

[Craig]

A whole 12 balls??? Say it isn't so!

Yep.

Lara has moved to 5 runs off 18 balls. Although he should start timing the ball well and getting runs. He has a great platform to score off.

 

[Craig]

Take that says Lara as he belts a six.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Relax man, I wasnt being serious.

My motto: "Sarcasm is engrained in my DNA".

 

[Craig]

Lol, by my calucaltions it is around 3.30am Trinidiad Time as I am 14 hours ahead of you, there is no way I could ever stay up that late or get at that time of the morning.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Might I suggest new batteries for the calculator then? It's 5:43 AM now.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Mistake on my part in reporting that Powell was dropped. It is Samuels who was dropped. I can only hope that it's because he's somehow not fit.

 

[Craig]

No I worked it out in my head.I never said I was the most educated

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Well, well, well. Mr. Asoka is missing noballs now. He just called one off of Blignaut and 3/4 of his foot was behind the line. Not sure where he pulled that one out from.

 

[Craig]

Hinds got his 4th ODI 100 for WI.

Well done, he is a fairly good one-day player. Tell me, how did Ashocka get on the ICC Panel?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Hinds batted superbly to a hundred, but since then he's struggled to get the ball away. Contrast to Gayle's hundred last week when Gayle did his best after getting to the milestone.

No-one knows, Craig, but the duck's glad he did.

I like Wavell and Crystal as an opening pair - as good as the West Indies have had for many years (stating the obvious, I know).

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Hinds then proceeds to make me look foolish and smash 3 fours and a six in 4 balls before the rains. When it rains it pours.

256/3 (45 overs)
WW Hinds 127 not out (141 - 10 fours, 4 sixes)
S Chanderpaul 3 not out (5)

'Twas good to see Sarwan finding some form.
