I can't believe I ate the whole thing
:D Congratulations CW! Great series win. Brilliant innings by Robbins supporting Butler first then taking charge supported by Chaulk. Great comeback after a stumble early on :)

Brendan Goff walks out in the middle and shakes hands with the Zimbabwean captain, Terry Duffin.

Duffin calls heads...

and it's tails.

Goff: "Good day for cricket - we'll bat."

It's Mupariwa and Mahwire who will take the new ball here - Zimbabwe have plenty of spin options on the notoriously turning CWBCC Stadium wicket.

0.1 Mupariwa to Markus, two runs, short, wide outside the off stump, Markus drives through the covers but a diving stop from Rinke prevents more than two.
0.6 Mupariwa to Camps, one run, single easily taken from a leg-side delivery.
1.2 Mahwire to Camps, FOUR, shot! pulled for four through mid-wicket, one-bounce, a heavy off-side field can not stop it and it runs away, Camps moves on to 6.
1.4 Mahwire to Camps, FOUR, and again! bit fuller this time but still strays on the stumps, slow delivery is pulled away, easy boundary
2.4 Mupariwa to Markus, FOUR, joins in on the fun! This could be a punishing day in the field for the Zimbabweans - ball is driven firmly square and a misfield by Rinke gives away a boundary
4.3 Mupariwa to Camps, no run, full delivery, hit on the pads, huge appeal from Taylor behind the stumps, umpire says going down leg
8.2 Mupariwa to Markus, two runs, line and length delivery for a change, Markus edges it weakly square of the wicket, picked up uncleanly by Rinke, two runs and the 50 partnership is up
8.3 Mupariwa to Markus, no run, stifled appeal as an awayswinger hits Markus on the thigh
8.4 Mupariwa to Markus, SIX, a bit shorter and Markus swings hard, ball flies through square leg and into the stands for the first maximum of the day!
9.6 Strydom to Camps, OUT, bowling change does the trick! slow delivery outside the off stump, Camps tries to drive but drags on, the inside edge goes past the stumps but into Taylor's gloves, end of a promising opening stand!

Code:
LA Camps c BRM Taylor b GM Strydom 27 (32b, 3x4)
Partnership of 62 (Markus 31*, Camps 27)
10.3 Mupariwa to de Silva, one run, cautiously dabbed into the off side for a quick single, Markus not quite safe, Taylor can't quite get behind the thrown ball and Markus runs in safe
11.4 Strydom to Markus, FOUR, dear oh dear, wasted short delivery which Markus drives straight, past a diving fielder and away for another boundary
12.3 Mupariwa to de Silva, FOUR, more runs, first slip can't quite react quickly enough and it bounces away to third man, de Silva opens his boundary account
13.3 Strydom to de Silva, OUT, Strydom strikes again! another slow delivery outside the off stump, attempts the big booming drive but the ball flies up square of the off side, Rinke runs in from the deep and this time makes no mistake, disappointment for de Silva in his first outing at No. 3

Code:
MW de Silva c HP Rinke b GM Strydom 8 (12b, 1x4)
Partnership of 20 (Markus 42*, de Silva 8)
13.4 Strydom to Goff, one run, easy single for the new batsman
15.1 Strydom to Goff, FOUR, four men on the boundary but Goff still finds the gap with ease, first boundary for the skipper.
16.2 Utseya to Markus, one run, rare flighted ball, turns away from the right-hander, Markus reads it perfectly and guides it down past backward point, well fielded and it's just a single, half-century up

Code:
I Markus 50* (46b, 5x4, 1x6)
19.6 Utseya to Goff, no run, wide outside the off stump and not tempted, end of a miserly over yielding just two runs
20.6 Strydom to Markus, one run, five dots and finally a ball driven firmly, straight to a fielder however
21.1 Utseya to Markus, FOUR, more like it, leg glance that runs away to fine leg without opposition, another boundary to the tally.
22.2 Strydom to Markus, FOUR, fourth boundary in the last two overs for Markus, well bowled on an off stump line but Markus drives straight back past the bowler and away for four, half-century stand up for the Webheads
29.6 Higgins to Markus, no run, gets the line right this time, end of another uneventful over, Higgins has kept things tight so far though he did just give up a boundary to Markus
30.2 Mahwire to Goff, no run, close one! lovely delivery on the off stump and swinging in, a bit too short though and the ball hits Goff high, umpire Dar turns down a loud appeal from the Zimbabwean fielders
33.3 Higgins to Markus, one run, turns it square and they run a quick single, 100 partnership up, Markus has definitely been the dominant partner as Goff has been a bit bogged down in the spin
34.6 Mahwire to Goff, two runs, driven firmly a bit wide of the fielder at long on, he dives well but can't stop the second run, 50 up for Goff

Code:
BJ Goff 50* (64b, 3x4)
35.2 Higgins to Markus, one run, standing ovation as Markus registers yet another one-day hundred, marvellous batting against some tricky spin bowling and deserves every shout he gets

Code:
I Markus 100* (104b, 11x4, 1x6)
36.1 Mahwire to Goff, no run, stifled appeal as Mahwire lets this one go way down the leg side, strange that that one wasn't called a wide
36.6 Mahwire to Goff, FOUR, pulled through midwicket and a fine boundary
39.6 Higgins to Markus, two runs, they've really taken a liking to Higgins now, ten off the over as the partnership moves past 150
41.1 Masakadza to Goff, FOUR, the desperate Duffin turns to a part-time leg spinner but only gets a very slow and straight delivery out of him, Goff says thanks and drives for another boundary
43.3 Strydom to Goff, no run, and again, beaten outside the off stump and it's another dot ball, good bowling from Strydom here
44.1 Utseya to Markus, FOUR, more boundaries, cut through point and past Rinke who misfields again
48.6 Utseya to Goff, FOUR, there it is, they've been trying to give him the strike all innings and he finally gets the boundary that gives him one hundred runs, it's been total domination here today

Code:
BJ Goff 100* (110b, 8x4)
49.6 Higgins to Goff, one run, drives hard but the ball doesn't pass the fielder, good fielding in the final five overs here from Zimbabwe, kept the score below 300

A little disappointing to miss out on a truly huge total, but brilliant batting by Ian and Brendan all the same.

0.0 Things got a little bit boring for the crowd as the Webheads just piled on runs off rather helpless medium pace bowling, with both star batsmen, Markus and Goff, making fine centuries. 300 looks a very stiff ask for a fragile Zimbabwean batting line-up, especially with Pickup in vintage form.
0.6 Hoy to Rinke, FOUR, shot! reasonable delivery if a bit short, Rinke pounces and drives hard through the covers, a diving Goff can't stop it, it's a four and nine runs off the first over! Certainly starting positively here...
2.6 Hoy to Duffin, OUT, there goes the captain! short ball, Duffin fends rather helplessly into the leg side, a diving Camps clutches onto the ball and holds it off the ground, first blood!

Code:
T Duffin c LA Camps b NS Hoy 8 (10b)
Partnership of 16 (Rinke 8*, Duffin 8)
7.1 Patrick to Rinke, FOUR, good delivery edged through the slips for a boundary, Patrick has been tight but unlucky so far
8.6 Hoy to Rinke, OUT, more wickets for Hoy! full toss on the stumps, very quick and Rinke just fails to get his bat in the way, soft dismissal but away he goes, out for 19, Zimbabwean hopes gone already?

Code:
HP Rinke lbw b NS Hoy 19 (27b, 2x4)
Partnership of 24 (Chibhabha 7*, Rinke 19)

Partnership of 24 (Chibhabha 7*, Rinke 19)
9.5 Patrick to Chibhabha, OUT, it had to happen - he'd not looekd good at the crease at all - full inswinger from Patrick does the trick, well deserved wicket

Code:
CJ Chibhabha lbw b NL Patrick 10 (21b)
Patnership of 4 (Taylor 1*, Chibhabha 10)
11.1 Patrick to Masakadza, OUT, and again! full, swings in, hits on the toe, umpire lifts his finger, Zimbabwe four down and can probably wave goodbye to the super six

Code:
H Masakadza lbw b NL Patrick 2 (4b)
Patnership of 6 (Taylor 3*, Masakadza 2)
12.6 Camps to Coventry, no run, swings away and Coventry doesn't dare to play at it, it's a maiden over
14.6 Camps to Taylor, no run, end of the field restrictions, seems like Zimbabwe just want to try to bat out 35 overs now
15.1 Pickup to Coventry, no run, huge cheers from the crowd as Pickup bowls his first delivery of the day
19.6 Pickup to Coventry, one run, they risk the single after a fine drive from Coventry, last five overs have yielded 15 runs
22.6 Camps to Coventry, no run, this really is getting tiresome, Camps has now bowled six overs and conceded eight runs
24.1 Camps to Coventry, three runs, on the stumps and punished, pulled away for three
27.2 Halsey to Taylor, FOUR, nice way to bring up the half-century partnership, came in 97 balls however
28.1 Pickup to Coventry, OUT, finally a wicket! Coventry slices to Goff at second slip, end of the vigil, match is surely beyond Zimbabwe now as they need 195 from 130

Code:
CK Coventry c Goff b Pickup 27 (54b, 1x4)
Partnership of 57 (Taylor 27*, Coventry 27)
33.1 Robbins to Strydom, OUT, part-timer does the trick, fine delivery which Strydom can't get bat on, huge appeal and gives out

Code:
GM Strydom lbw b Robbins 8 (19b)
Partnership of 16 (Taylor 33*, Strydom 8)
34.4 Hoy to Mupariwa, OUT, Hoy's given a chance to bowl to boost his wicket-tally and get this over with, Mupariwa fends away from his body, it flies up and lands in Markus' pouch, safely held and it's seven down

Code:
T Mupariwa c Markus b Hoy 5 (7b, 1x4)
Partnership of 7 (Mupariwa 5, Taylor 35*)
35.6 Robbins to Utseya, full toss, oversteps and Utseya hoiks desperately away, bounces slowly down to backward square for four, a no-ball to boot
35.6 Robbins to Utseya, OUT, gets the line right, Utseya attempts the same shot, it flies up in the deep, Pickup runs and runs to get under it, holds it well and that's gone!

Code:
P Utseya c Pickup b Robbins 4 (4b, 1x4)
Partnership of 6 (Taylor 36*, Utseya 4)
38.6 Hoy to Taylor, no-ball, no run, the third no-ball of the over, poor over so far from Hoy, we've got eight deliveries out of it but only five legal ones
38.6 Hoy to Taylor, one run, hogs the strike
40.6 Hoy to Taylor, one run, keeps the strike and ends the spell of Hoy, couldn't quite finish off the Zimbabweans
43.2 Patrick to Taylor, three runs, half-century up, with one four and off 98 balls

Code:
BRM Taylor 51* (98b, 1x4)
48.4 Camps to Taylor, OUT, finally the stubborn Taylor is removed, that delivery from Camps was simply too good for him as it blasted into his shin

Code:
BRM Taylor lbw b Camps 59 (112b, 1x4)
Partnership of 45 (Mahwire 18*, Taylor 59)
48.6 Camps to Higgins, FOUR, edged through the slips and away for a rare boundary
49.6 Pickup to Higgins, OUT, innings ends on the last ball, Higgins clean bowled attempting a forward defensive, the Webheads engage in modest celebrations

Code:
RS Higgins b Pickup 4 (5b, 1x4)
Partnership of 5 (Mahwire 19*)
So the Webheads win by 115 runs, though there are a number of concerns - the inability to remove Taylor, the extras column, and some poor bowling from Halsey - admittedly in a Test-match-like situation. The game needs to be lifted before Sri Lanka, however.
