Windies Tour of Zimbabwe: Oct 11th to Nov 3rd, 2017

[aklemalp]

Bishoo falls... for 44

And that is stumps

[aklemalp]

The lead is 429...Chase is 9 away from century...how will this play out?

[DinRaat.]

He might have the curse of getting stranded, a habit for all 2014+ WI players.

Stranded in the 90s? or stranded with a 50+ score?

Because since 2014, only one Windies player was stranded in the 90s, and that was Shai Hope in the first inning of this match.

Even in this match Hope was stranded in the 90s. Hope this isn't a habit with you guys.

I think our batting in this second inning came with a ruthlesseness that was missing in our previous teams.

The boys were batting with purpose and not letting the spinners dictate terms. This is the Stuart Law effect.

We have a good bunch of young batsmen, and the bowlers are complementing them.

That England tour was the best thing that happened to our cricket.

I hope Chase doesn't get stranded in the 90s, only 2 wickets left.

[Gowza]

WI have talents coming through, still got ambris to come up to the test level, Darren bravo to comeback.

Plenty of pace bowlers coming through and plenty of young pace all rounders aa well with rovman, reiffer, keemo, springer.

[DinRaat.]

Chase stranded on 95, hahaha Aklemalp its becoming a habit slowly.

[aklemalp]

Brendan Taylor with the resistance.

[Gowza]

If Taylor could manage a ton here I'm sure he'd inspire even better things for zim cricket in the not too distant cricket.

Not stranded.

Stranded in the nineties mean to remain not out while your team gets bowled out or your skipper decides to to declare lol

Yeah, I'm actually loving this fightback. Zimbabwe are stronger with Brendan. Have to give credit to Sikander also.

[aklemalp]

Shannon is struggling with the no balls

[aklemalp]

Wow I'm impressed with Vusi Sibanda in the commentary box.

[aklemalp]

50 for Brendan.

Bat on

[Tigers_eye]

This is getting interesting. A 64+ run partnership. WI need to regroup. Holder should do something. Bring in close fielders or something.

[aklemalp]

Got him!

Sikander Raza plays a lazy shot outside the off stump and an easy catch for Chase at cover.

Zimbabwe are 5 down. Bishoo with his 8th wicket of the match. He's now only 2 wickets away from 100 test wickets.

[Tigers_eye]

lol, the ink wasn't dry. Bishoo breaks through. Raza gone. Zim 5 down.

[al Furqaan]

Raza and Williams are not consistent enough. Throw their wickets away too often. Raza is probably the better of the two. Can't see Williams averaging 30+. ZIM are stronger now, but the problem remains their batting really only has Ervine and Taylor who can be trusted to score runs, and Taylor has a very poor overseas record.

[aklemalp]

Awwwh, what have you done, Waller?

Slight confusion on a quick single. And Shai Hope direct hits the stumps at the striker side...Waller was not even in the frame.

6th wicket down ....

[SportingBD]

What do Zimbabwe see in Malcolm Waller?

[aklemalp]

Another one goes...what is Zimbabwe doing?

Return catch for Chase.

249/7

[aklemalp]

The big wicket of Brendan Taylor for 73 (151)


Goes by the run out route.

253/8

[aklemalp]

Zimbabwe's bowling coach is Makhaya Ntini.

Wow, I like that
