West Indies seemed en route to an uncomplicated victory in pursuit of 258 in their second game of the tournament, when they reached 220 for two in the 45th over.

However, they lost six wickets for 37 runs in the space of 32 balls—including three wickets in the last over with four runs required – as Zimbabwe forced their way back into the contest to earn a share of the points.

“We needed 60 runs with eight wickets in hand at one stage and nine times out of ten you’d expect the batting side to do that,” Radford said.

“I think a little bit of panic set in which is easy when you’re away from home and there’s a noisy crowd. To be fair, they (Zimbabwe) actually bowled well and took the pace off on what was a slow-ish wicket.”

No shit sherlock.

I think management panicked too, sending Nurse in before Carter for instance.

As long as K. Brathwaite is in the ODI team expect us to tie or lose many games. This is not test match cricket where the boy is an ideal opener. We talking ODI's. yes he can occupy the crease but that puts added pressure on whoever is batting with him because of his inability to play ODI type of cricket. I mean they have three openers in Charles, lewis, and Hope; no place for K. Brathwaite. Why not play Dowich or Chase instead, if they are available? Chandapaul was dropped from the ODI team many years ago because they didn't feel he was attacking enough. Isn't K. Brathwaite ten times worse than Chanda?
