43.1 Stuart to Taibu, FOUR, short and wide, edged just wide of gully,
very lucky not to be taken, the fielder just fell over as opposed
to diving
43.2 Stuart to Taibu, OUT: plays fwd, bat and pad toger, digs it up for
King at midoff to dive on to it, rare occasion and he celebrates
it, caught just inches off the grass, another one gone cheaply

43.4 Stuart to BC Strang, no run, quick yorker, managed to dig it out
43.5 Stuart to BC Strang, no run, right through him, nearly an inside
edge, went past him at waist height and just over the sticks, no
lateral movement at all on that one
43.6 Stuart to BC Strang, no run, off the pad behind square, may have
been a run or even two in that, VC at the other end says no, can't
take any chances here, he wants the strike safely in his hands

on the meat of that willow he's holding, into the ground and
Stuart fields it himself
45.3 Stuart to Whittall, no run, goes for it again, the off drive lands
safely in King's hands, which is rather surprising in itself
45.4 Stuart to Whittall, wide: no run, goodness, aerial wide, just lost
control on the release, way over the batsman's head on the full,
Browne is shocked as he takes it at waist height, Barbour calls it
wide, square leg Ump calls no ball, take your pick boys
45.4 Stuart to Whittall, FOUR, short and wide, fetch that one from deep
midwicket Sarwan, and who'd have thought the hosts would have the

refuses the single again, won't let Bryan Strang have a go at them
47.3 Stuart to Whittall, one run, punched to the off side, this time he
does run it
Stuart is apparently averaging 140 kph so far this innings

Ganga gets the potty from Browne, going to fwd short leg now
53.5 Black to Price, no run, maybe they should have put a silly point or

beats him, foot well planted behind the line

23.1 Blignaut to Chanderpaul, FOUR, overpitched, rifled right back past
him, this is exquisite Chanderpaul we are seeing here, lovely
footwork and the epitokme of grace , impeccable timing, great to
watch, he's playing the game as it was meant to be
23.2 Blignaut to Chanderpaul, FOUR, this time through extra cover, no
way to bowl to a man in this form, swings that straight bat like
he's vanquishing dragons with a mighty sword, can't stop that Mr
Streak, four runs
23.3 Blignaut to Chanderpaul, no run, leaves it alone to swing way down
off, the bowling isn't matching the batting for quality yet
23.4 Blignaut to Chanderpaul, three runs, bowled it too straight, and
with that vacant midwicket garden of flowers, not a good idea,
flicked through there with a smile, almost makes the rope
100 p'ship up already
23.5 Blignaut to Ganga, no run
23.6 Blignaut to Ganga, OUT: one of the few that didn't go to the fence,
seams in a bit from the off side, tries to leave it and clips the
inside edge as he shoulders his weapon, Taibu takes it gratefully
and the Zimbabweans smile again, albeit prematurely

They walk off again, rain spoiling this last day'y play
It's coming down in buckets now, really terrible at this crucial
state of the match
Absolutely bucketing down here in Harare folks, basically cancelled
any hopes we could have had of play
The Umps walked out there not long ago, during a break in the
deluge, but as the covers were coming off, it began again!
The rain has stopped now, maybe for a little while
They're going to take this little window to continue play, the
fielders are out doing a warmup practice, hopefully we'll be under
way, a result is not impossible yet
Match State: Tea - Day Five
Here come the Umpres, we're not sure for how long, it's threatening
again, clouds rolling back over the ground, at we'll get some
play, maybe a few overs in before the menacing weather tries to
ruin play again
So a result may be doubtful, but the good news is that with Tea
alreaady taken, we may play out the day if a break persists

somewhat, Gayle gets his fifty over slips, and they walk off the
field! lucky Gayle
Heath Streak says 'no', come back chaps, the Umpres are ready to
walk but Streak wants to carry on, he calls the players off,
really getting silly here

new pair has longer studs?
Soon they'll need wet-suits and fishing tackle if this persists
46.1 Streak to Gayle, no run
46.2 Streak to Gayle, no run
Coming down even harder, there they go, Barbour says oi, let's be
off, Streak still doesn't wanna go, now the Umps are having
