Amazing finish to the Kiwi innings v Zimbabwe

One ball left, Williamson on 93

49.6
Ncube to Williamson, (no ball) FOUR, KW gets a second bite of the cherry. He gets a no-ball last ball. It's a high full toss, and the top edge goes over short third man for four. Ncube is taken off after a second beamer, and KW gets another shot at the hundred. Funny little game, is this
49.6
Chigumbura to Williamson, 3 runs, puts in the dive to complete a superb hundred. This is a short ball, but doesn't quite come on, and he ends up punching it over mid-off. Taibu gives it the chase, but the batsmen run hard and come back for three. Taibu's throw is by the stumps, but KW puts a big dive in in the home stretch. The whole dressing room is on its feet

The Kiwis made 5/328. Kiwi innings had 2 centurions and Watling made a diamond duck
Zimbabwe chased down the score with 9 down and 1 ball remaining. Waller finished on 99no.
Great win for the Zimmers

Kyle Mills, the New Zealand seamer, will miss the one-off Test against Zimbabwe due to a torn abductor muscle. A replacement has not been named as the Test squad has enough cover in the fast-bowling department, team manager Mike Sandle said.

Interesting match figures from that last ODI. Must have been a good game with one team then the other on top; and highlights again that Foxtel needs a dedicated cricket channel.

To play MS Dhoni or bench him? That will be one of the biggest questions facing the India selectors tomorrow evening when they meet in Kolkata to pick the squad for the first Test against West Indies.

Too much cricket anyone???

[brod]

Harbhajan Singh has been excluded from India's squad for the first Test against West Indies, one of eight changes to the squad that was picked to tour England earlier this year. R Ashwin, Pragyan Ojha and Rahul Sharma make up the spin department with Amit Mishra also left out, leaving India with a completely different set of spinners to the one they had on the England tour.

Squad for first Test: M S Dhoni (capt & wk), Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Yuvraj Singh, R Ashwin, Pragyan Ojha, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Virat Kohli, Varun Aaron, Ajinkya Rahane, Rahul Sharma
