BTW, a great injustice was done in Drakes not being included. :!(
Something we do agree on. Although if Collymore returns to form, this is arguably the best - 4 man - attack. I still think we could have had Drakes in for a specialist bat though.

Wavell Hinds did it again. 3 for 3 in giving away his innings. For a description of his dismissal, see my comment on Sarwan's identical shot on Saturday. :!(

282 for 3 in 63 and Lara looks set to make up for his first test failure.....looks like Zimbabwe are in for a long day tomorrow.

Lara's 77 has taken just 93 balls with 12 boundaries. He's looked superb.

Sarwan was almost caught at slip first ball, looked a bit shaky. However, as usual, batting with Lara has calmed him down and he seems to look in good nick - 46 off 82 - 8 fours.

179 not out for BCL.

He just hit 2 consecutive sixes off Price. The second was dead straight and one-handed.

Wavell Hinds opens the bowling for the Windies! Beats Sibanda with the first ball.

Windies really shoud've gone on to 550 plus. Shiv's unlucky (?) dismissal was probably the key.

Zim 173/3 in reply. Was hoping that Edwards could get a couple of Zimbabweans out early after they crawled to 31/3, but Vermeulen and Wishart saved the innings. Still think (read: hope - want my predictions to be right :)) they'll go out early tomorrow and Edwards can rip through the tail (though with Lara's frequent bowling changes, he's likely to bowl 2 overs, take 2 wickets, then be off).

This match has been a bad one for me. The magician mandrake is not playing and Lara has put it out of Sarwan's reach. It is doubtful that 35 wickets will fall too. Oh well atleast WI won the toss.

Very unlucky. Clearly off the pad. There was some question about Banks' LBW too, but I only saw a quick replay of it and not enough to judge. However, I could see off stump and part of middle when he was struck.

Another 5 wicket haul for Ray Price!:wow: :)

This chap is good.:cool2: 8D :)
Read 5/199. :P

Decent effort though. Although, he definitely didn't bowl half as well as in the 1st Test and got a couple with some luck.

Lol, but a bit of an exaggeration.

Actually not much - 21 changes in 53 overs gives 53/21 = 2 and 1/2 overs or in cricketing terms 2.3 overs.

Of course, if you take 2 wickets, you should stay on, but who told Lara that :P
