9.2 Powell to Taylor, FOUR
9.1 Powell to Taylor, FOUR, nice shot on the up. Taylor drives well in the gap between short extra-cover and mid-off, the ball speeds away into the fence.
8.6 Rampaul to Taylor, 1 run, opens the face off the bat and runs it down to thirdman, cheekly played.
8.5 Rampaul to Taylor, FOUR, good ball, pitches and moves away, gets the outside edge as Taylor drives on the up. No slip in place, goes to thirdman fence.
8.4 Rampaul to Taylor, FOUR, good shot from Taylor, flicks it in the air over midwicket to the fence.

9.5 Powell to Taylor, OUT, width outside the off stump, Taylor's eyes light up, he chases it, cuts and gets an outside edge through to Ramdin.

See previous comments about Zim's flaky batting... ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
Still, there's some good batting yet to come, so all is not yet lost. Definitely going to be an uphill struggle from here, though - need to kep an eye on the run-rate, too...

16.6 Bravo to Masakadza, OUT, Bravo strikes, short of a length delivery outside the off stump and moving away, Masakadza looks to drive through the off side, gets an outside edge through to Ramdin.

Re: Match Thread - 2nd ODI - Zimbabwe vs West Indies
Looks like they're going for Curran style respectability-over-win. Taibu 2 from 15 balls. Hard to see Zimbabwe winning, unless Taibu and Matsikenyeri can blast 100 from 70 balls. Hopefully they aren't bowled all out.
It's a tough ask, but Chigumbura still to come, as well as man of the moment Keith Dabengwa, so you never know...Required RR 7.06

Re: Match Thread - 2nd ODI - Zimbabwe vs West Indies
They were ticking over fine until they lost that brace of wickets - slowdown now is natural consolidation, but I don't think they really have the time to indulge in too much of that. The run-rate's going to be the killer - just as it was for WI on Friday...

Re: Match Thread - 2nd ODI - Zimbabwe vs West Indies
Strange things happening with the CricInfo card - from 67/6 to 89/5, with last-man-out Matsikenyeri now on 17, and scoring quite well. Still needing 8+ an over, though.
