Zimbabwe looking to post 275-300....tbh idk if west indies could chase that

[Dizzy28]

WI get away. At one point I thought Zimbabwe would have passed 300 normal normal. 290 still should be a task.

85-1 after 17 overs btw.

WI get the win. And they are now one step closer to the WC next year. Still possible to not go through but they have Scotland as their last match and tier fates solely in their own hands.

[*$kїđž!™]

So we are not playing uae in this rounds

[shake d livin wake d dead]

The next game is against scotland...not sure about the uae game

WI last game in the super sizes is vs Scotland on Wed

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I feel Gayle should retire now yes....

[Dizzy28]

WI can still go through with a loss though. But with Scotland 3 wickets down maybe WI will win though.

they will need UAE to defeat Zimbabwe, and I don't see that happening, but u can never tell in cricket so...

If rain washes the match out WI would more than likely go through. They have a better NRR than Zimbabwe so in an instance where they are equal on points WI will proceed.

In the Afghanistan vs Ireland match the winner also would move to 6 points but they both have so much worse NRR than WI that barring some improbable scoreline neither of them would advance.

This alone tells you how bad windies cricket is....so doh expect much if they actually qualify for the cup

[Dizzy28]

And the rains (and umpire) have saved WI. They win the match by 5 runs (Duckworth Lewis) and have qualified for the the 2019 World Cup!!!

There was an atrocious LBW decision against Scotland which had it not happened would have placed them ahead on DL.

Poor windies...they shoda have the review system for this tournament

[Dizzy28]

Too expensive.

Remember not all the matches were televised and the DRS needs a minimum number of cameras present. They went with the rule that if they can't do for all they wouldn't do for some.

[*$kїđž!™]

Yeag boy if wasnt fir that lbw decision we would have lost...clearly that ball was missing the stumps...
We get away....thank god we qualified...but seeing this was so tough...im pretty scared to see what those othwe top teans will do with wi ..lol...

Question about windies.....can the squad be changed for the cup or they going with this same team???

[*$kїđž!™]

I am sure thar squad can be changed....the cup is next year...sime currwnt guys may be unavailable etc

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I am sure thar squad can be changed....the cup is next year...sime currwnt guys may be unavailable etc

Orrrrr
In that case....who would you add/minus

I woda give Russell a run, Pollard maybe, Simmons if he around, Fletcher, Cottrel....and who ever else that could replace some of these men

[*$kїđž!™]

Yeah but russell and pollard both we choswn in this squad but chose to go psl instead...dunni if they will be spited and not considered causw they refused now....not sure...

We need bowlers

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Bowlers : cottrell, badree( shrugs shoulders) Gabriel ( same as badree) no way we could use Carlos as a front line bowler...Taylor injured or retired ????

Fack all them!!! (Well with the exception of Cotterel who was in this squad but got injured)
None of them wanted to come play the qualifying tournament, let them stay home and watch the WC on TV and let the guys who in Zimbabwe now continue.

Zimbabwe has lost to UAE!!!!
This WCQ tournament is turning out to be quite the surprise party (in no small part thanks to the weather).

Tommorow's match b/t Ireland and Afghanistan is straightforward and a virtual knockout. The winner goes to the WC.
I kinna want Ireland to go through. Afghanistan lost to Zimbabwe, Scotland and Hong Kong in this tournament and really shouldn't be going though because rain fell on a few days and helped them out.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Now that was an upset...everyone was saying UAE woda loss

[*$kїđž!™]

So uae was going out and they took zimbabwe with them lol...thats a real hard blow for the zimbabwe fans
