CWC15 - Zim hit 287, India Bowlers Put To the Sword

#Zim vs #Ind, #EdenPark, #Auckland

For the first time this #CWC15, the India bowlers were put under the hammer big time and shook them up. They looked rattled, a lot of on-pitch discussions followed and overall they looked out of sorts as long as #BrendonTaylor was at the crease.

The spinners (very surprisingly) took most of the beating at the hands of Taylor and Williams. The batsmen attacked them from the word go and forced them into defensive lines. Ashwin and Jadeja didnt bowl very badly though. They kept the bowl up and gave good air but just that Taylor was in the "mood" to dispatch them all over Eden Park.

At one stage, it looked as if India would be chasing 320+ but once Taylor went for a blistering 138, the tail didn't push it on and got out for 287. This is still a competitive score and will give their bowlers something to try and put Indian batting under pressure.

Lot of thinking for India before the knockout games.
Bangladesh is watching this!!

CWC15 - Brendan Taylor Superlative Ton Drives Zim Forward vs Ind

#Zim vs #Ind, #EdenPark, #Auckland

#BrendanTaylor has turned it on against India.
Backing up #SeanWilliams' counterattacking innings, he has launched a scathing attack on the Indian bowlers .

For the first time in the #CWC15, the Indian bowlers looked rattled and out of sorts.

Taylor in company of Williams steadied the innings after initial setbacks.
Once Williams departed after his cameo, he's taken charge and shaken the Indians big time!

A upper cut six off #Shami over thirdman brought his century in style giving rise to wild celebrations from him and his players in the balcony. Please note he is playing his last ODI for Zimbabwe. He has signed a three year deal with the England county league. Shame ... he's not going to play in RED anymore!

#LIVE #SCORE
Zim: 233 for 4 in 41 overs
#BrendanTaylor - 138*
#SeanErive - 38*

They have unsettled both #RaviAswin and #RaviJadeja by employing #reverse #sweeps galore and collecting boundaries and sixes.

CWC 2015 LIVE - Irfan And Riaz Put Pakistan On Top v Zim

#Pak v #Zim, #GABBA, #Brisbane
1st Mar 2015

#MohamadIrfan and #WahabRiaz have run through the Zimbabwe middle order and put Pakistan on top of their game v Zimbabwe.

Defending a modest target of 235, the seamers took advantage of the Gabba bounce under lights and choked the Zimbabwe batsmen in submission. #HamiltonMasakadza will also have to blame himself for playing a ridiculous shoot off Irfan to get himself out at a critical juncture in the game.

#LIVE #Cricket #Score: Zim 186 for 8 in 44 overs
Need another 50 runs in 36 balls. Looks close but the number of wickets down will put a lot of pressure on them. #EltonChigumbura and #DavidPanganyara at the crease. If they can string a partnership, the game can go down to the wire.

As it stands, Pak on top
