It is all over - all out for 198. What a disappointment after containing the Aussies, no mean achievement, to an average score.


well it was odo after all. Now it wud hav been great disappointment if
WI had lost to Zim. Tht wud have been killer...!
whts ur take on our boys in SA? Expecting big knocks from The Prince?

I was a little optimistic about them (batting especially) before they stank up the joint in Zimbabwe. Lara seems to be determined to do well away from home but his lack of big scores in the crucial 2nd innings of both games worries me. Maybe the big hundred will give him confidence. The batsman have all had extended runs in test matches and should be able to give a better account of themselves than they have so far.


The bowling worries me no end. Fidel Edwards seems to be a real find (I haven't watched him bowl, yet) but we have to wait and see. Franklyn Rose too had a good start but faded away with discipline problems etc. If this series is anywhere near the disaster that the last series was, then WI cricket will struggle mightily to get up. Lara has some hope for the future but a big series loss will probably break his spirits.
