*Official* West Indies in Zimbabwe Thread

Yeah I thought that might have been the case and checked. Seems to me he fared a little better in the last game with 39*.

I assume you know what you're talking about.. When was the last game?

The pitch is grassier than yesterday, but not overly great for bowling. It's better, but the West Indian effort was due largely to a couple of errors (not poor batting per se) and some good Zimbabwean bowling.

If only there were such a thing as roll-over runs. :)

He score 39 not out against Zimbabwe A in a warmup game... on Thursday. He was run out for a duck without facing a ball yesterday. Ironically that was after his captain scored 113 off 82 balls.

16/2 after 5 overs

Gripper run out coming back for a 4th run.

Sibanda caught behing off Drakes.

Rampaul got the new ball and is not bowling too well.

75-4 with not a great deal of application after these 2 and Taibu.

A couple of wickets would make it interesting...

Rampaul...what is he doing there? He did really badly in the tour game and now he's being picked in the ODIs and looking like easy meat. What is it with these selectors?

On the Zimbabwe side it looks like they've decided Matsikenyeri and Sibanda are set for long spells in the side. If Matsikenyeri keeps up his form fair enough but if they keep picking Sibanda and Mahwire, then bye bye Zimbabwean cricket.

Good to see Vermeulen batting well against the better sides in world cricket, looks like theyve got a few guys coming through with a lot of talent against the bigger fish...

And yes Sibanda and Mahwire will be persevered with, comfortably the worst players ive seen in world cricket...

How have you and Rik seen Sibanda bat? Unless you guys are getting coverage of this series...

Sibanda looks a decent prospect actually. He scored a good fifty on ODI debut. Mahwire, agreed.

Vermeulen looks a really good batsman and the future is bright for Zimbabwe if he's an indication of the young talent.

Rampaul is just 19-years-old! Not picking him now won't be detrimental to his career. We should send him back to learn how to bowl at this level with more FC experience and then pick him in 2 or 3 years - when he'll still have a good 14-15 years of Test cricket ahead of him.

Well done Price - 10-2-16-2.

At least Zimbabwe have got a very accurate bowler.

And well done Rampaul - he kept his rpo to 4.7 :P :lol: :lol:

In England he scored a quack, took a catch and failed to take a wicket...he didn't bat long enough to base an opinion but he failed to score anything in the Tests and I saw his dismissal in the warm up game in England.

Re: Streak. Dead on.

Re: Black. He didn't play the RSB this year because the T&T selectors couldn't find him. He was 'unreachable'. He did bowl well in the Carib Cup though, with little luck.
