Absolutely no intent from the Windies

14:40 local: Absolutely no intent from the Windies. Rather than making things happen, they instead are waiting for things to happen. Doesn't work that way in any sport, and they look on course to pay the perfect penalty. At a time when they should be bouncing and yorking the batsmen, they helped the duo of Cremer and Chakabva get used to spin and made life easy with a defensive field setting. Cremer was out first ball, he was again out on 9 and 11, but the Windies had no reviews left. I suspect this is heading towards a stalemate.

Courtney Browne said that...he was Barbadian captain at that time. Holder poor to compare to former Bajan captains like Sobers,Holford,Padmore,Best and Browne.

Is it just Holder or do coaches have some say on what should be done at different times during the match?

Disappointing result. Probably counts as a win for Zimbabwe

Jason Holder:
"(On his first international series win as captain) It feels really good, the guys have put in a really good effort. Since a while, we have done well but not been able to get across the line in an entire series. Credit goes to the entire team for their efforts.
(On not closing out this game) Obviously disappointed not to bowl them out twice. The conditions were really tough, they batted really well as well. The DRS errors didn't help but that is how the game works. It evens things out eventually. Zimbabwe played some really good cricket throughout the series and I would like to commend them for it. Hopefully they can keep it going. It wasn't easy at all, credit to Cremer and his boys. Their spinners kept the pressure on us.
(On the DRS challenge) It is difficult, I remarked to many about the Hawk Eye cameras, sometimes ball tracking shows differently from what we feel with the naked eye. We just have to go with our judgement, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
(Future of the team) The team is going in the right direction, we will have a training camp in Australia before going to New Zealand. The tour won't be easy at all, so it is important for us to adjust properly and get fit physically as far as mentally."

In reply to jacksparrow... ZIMs objective was achieved, seems so was the WIndies.
