West Indies vs Zimbabwe, 1st ODI at Providence, , Mar 04 2010 - Ball by Ball Commentary

another inch perfect yorker and he seals the deal in style! Take a bow Masakadza junior! Keeps it on legstump, very full and No. 11 Roach could not do more than squeeze a single to the leg side.

Big Benn falls! Cremer holds on to a steepler and West Indies are succumbing to pressure! Benn goes for an almighty hoick over midwicket and hits it really high. Cremer runs in a long way from the deep midwicket fence and takes it millimetres off the ground. Super catch! 4 off 1, and the batsmen did not cross over, would you believe it!

and he botches it up! Great ball under pressure from the debutant, but in the circumstances a really ordinary shot from Smith, who looks to hit the straight ball across the line. He misses and the stumps are rearranged. Benn walks out to the middle. 4 off 2!

gets good hold of that one, but hits it straight to deep cover. Strike to Smith.

slasher! wide outside off and he throws the kitchen-sink at it, flies towards the vacant third man fence. Miller's the man!

Well, Miller has other plans! Picks up the length ball on leg stump and whacks it over midwicket for six. Stay at the other end, Smith! 9 required off 5!

its the latter! Marginally fuller and down the leg and that's all the help Smith needs to free his hands. He deposits it behind square for a crucial boundary. Great shot under pressure.

another yorker, and Miller manages to squirt it to the offside for a run. Smith has strike. Will he look to keep it, or go for broke?

He's a goner! Superb bowling here, keeps it straight and simple. Ramdin goes for an almighty heave through the covers and makes contact with thin air. Timber is struck and he'll have to go back.

full, tailing down leg and they pick a leg bye

great line again, does not hit the yorker length but its good enough. Superb re-adjustment of radar after that wide.

super comeback! Full yorker and more importantly follows the batsman as he tries to make room. Dot ball!

rubbish ball, loses the plot and fires it well wide of leg stump.

swing and a miss! Short of a length outside off, and misses the attempted pull

BIG wicket! Chanderpaul is gone and this game is far from over. Picks the length ball and times it beautifully, probably too beautifully, it carries to Chigumbura at long off, who is standing a few paces in, but holds his nerve and more importantly, holds the catch.

hit very hard to short midwicket and the ball explodes through the fielder. Two runs. 22 from 14!

goes over the offside this time. Short of a length on offstump, and Chanders goes down on a knee and whacks it to deep extra cover

Chanderpaul, take a bow! He hops outside off and manufactures a shot out of nowhere. Shovels it over fine leg for another vital four. They are getting the thrust here.

short and wide outside off and cut away towards point for a single.

Wide down the legside. The momentum is shifting, but West Indies need some more big ones.
