***Official*** West Indies in Zimbabwe and South Africa

[Perm]

A one-legged Gayle is battering South Africa. The guy can barely run.

 

[Stapel]

Not that Darren Sammy was really much use with the ball during the 1st Test, but Rawl Lewis? **** me, I bowl better leg-spin than this guy.

Samuels did ok as a bowler on day four of the first test. He might do better than Lewis.

Windies are 83/3 at lunch. Samuels and C'paul really must make a 100 partnership now. But both have one run from dozens of balls.

 

[Perm]

Would love to see Marlon Samuels make a century here, a very talented cricketer. This could be his breakthrough tour if he puts a few more on the board.

Nel has already put Chanderpaul on his bum twice during the Test, bodes well for him getting his bowling back on track.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Why why why does anyone employ Colin Croft to give any insight? Fine bowler. Worst commentator.

 

[roseboy64]

He's ok at times. Anyway, the Morton wicket was crucial. He was set so would have been able to score better than Samuels with Gayle's condition.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

"Ok at times" is acceptable?

Worst writer too.

 

[Perm]

Morton and Gayle could easily have had another 20-30 runs if it wasn't for the terribly slow outfield. Morton looked woeful though, seemed way out of his depth, but still had massive swings at the half volleys that came his way.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Hopefully the ground staff doesn't cut the grass and get the outfield in top shape for tomorrow. Would be pretty unfair.

 

[Perm]

I wouldn't think that they'd be allowed to do it TBH.

 

[Perm]

Dropped.

I love that McKenzie is back in the side, one of my favourite International players, shame that Gibbs is so out of form though.

AWTA.

Chris Gayle must be so frustrating as a cricketer. Didn't see the ball that got him out FTR, so if I'm wrong, I'm wrong

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Was a good piece of bowling by Nel. No foot movement from Gayle though, and a very indecisive prod-shot. He was struggling with a hamstring injury, but I doubt he would have moved his feet much otherwise.

No but he has his good moments.

So that is a normal dismissal for Gayle then? Yes IMO.

I'm a sure fit Gayle would have edged that harder at least or bang it through the cover region.

No IMO. Can't bother to look up the stats though.

 

[Craig]

Well I just thought 'Gayle' and 'not moving his feet' went hand-in-hand. Obviously I'm wrong.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

It was good bowling, so in the sense of Gayle getting out to good balls, it was normal enough.

You're right about that but him getting out in the slips like that isn't a normal dismissal for him.

Wasn't McKenzie in the gully?
