       uninspired- Nkala to continue
  44.1 Nkala to Gayle, one run, pushed into the gap
  44.2 Nkala to Hinds, FOUR, down the wicket, superb straight drive,

        1
       Nkala the pick of the bowlers

  45.5 Whittall to Gayle, two runs, hit straight to Streak in the deep,
        quick running pressures a bad return
       maybe Goodwin should have been given a shot
       great stuff from these two bats, and the Zim bowling has not got
        much in it to slow them down

       Streak not able to slow things down, Jamaican bats rampant here
       now whose turn is it to bowl now

  47.1 Whittall to Gayle, (noball) one run, a slow head high full toss,
        interesting variation, but not really much help

  47.4 Whittall to Hinds, one run, slower ball, hit back to the bowler,
        Whittall fires it back and hits Hinds in the back of the helmet"
       that hurt
       he was blocking the stumps, Whittall had every right to try to hit
        them, but apologises
       oh and he was wearing a cap, not a helmet
  47.5 Whittall to Gayle, one run, and there's a maiden half-century
       cliche time- the crowd goes wild
  47.6 Whittall to Hinds, FOUR, pulled through mid wicket, a fine innings

       what a day for Jamaica - both these tow with excellent innings, and
        personal landmarks
  48.1 Streak to Gayle, FOUR, driven straight and Viljoen fumbles it on
        the boundary
  48.2 Streak to Gayle, one run, a quick single
       Zim fielding letting them down, something that rarely happens
  48.3 Streak to Hinds, no run, fine diving stop by Streak, taking matters
        into his own hands
  48.4 Streak to Hinds, two runs, puled from outside off stump to deep mid

        through the vacant area
  49.3 Whittall to Hinds, one run, strolls a single

CH Gayle 58* (45b 5x4 1x6) WW Hinds 116* (125b 12x4 1x6)

       sad figures for Whittall
       odd captaincy- Streak didn't bowl his quota
       but a wonderful exhibition of strokeplay from Hinds in particular
       well supported by Gayle- must gladden WI hearts to see young
        players doing so well
       an intimidating total for Zim to chase
       we'll be back shortly to see how they do
       and that's the end of my comentary stint, comments to
