Sri Lanka won the first ODI. The most notable thing about the match was when Taibu became the first wicket-keeper to bowl in a ODI.

Result

Zimbabwe: 211/6 (Taibu 96 not out)
Sri Lanka: 144/4 (Sangakkara 73 not out)

Sri Lanka win by 12 runs (D/L method)

Man of the match: Taibu

B) i think even dravid bowled ..

 

[gregs]

How come Taibu bowled?

 

[andrew_nixon]

Taibu bowled cos he is a good bowler. He took 8 wickets ina Zimbabwean domestic game recently.

Dravid has bowled, but not in the same match as keeping wicket.

 

[bharat]

Then who kept the wickets?

 

[andrew_nixon]

Maregwede

A predictable win for Sri Lanka in the second ODI.

Result

Zimbabwe: 136 all out (Vaas 4/38, Muralitharan 4/32)
Sri Lanka: 139/1 (Jayantha 74 not out)

Sri Lanka win by 9 wickets

If murali never bowled the doosra, the i guess you can say that he did a great job. Good comeback from the 1st odi. The score tells the story of zim cricket at the moment. Very inexperienced players who were brought in to replace very good cricketers. its a shame.

I thought Keeper's Can't Bowl in the match.

I think its a ICC rule, isn't it?

 

[andrew_nixon]

No.

Only substitute fielder's can't bowl. Everyone else can.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Another hammering for Zimbabwe. They posted the lowest total in ODI history.

Zimbabwe: 35 all out (Vaas 4/12)
Sri Lanka: 40/1

Sri Lanka win by 9 wickets

 

[squiz]

Zimbabwe bloodi suck. The next lowest was Canada against Sri Lanka, then Zimbabwe against Sri Lanka again in the number 3 spot.

 

[siddyjain]

good news at last for zimbabwe ... the white players hav made themselves available for selection for the last one dayer and the test matches!! that at least gives sum hope for them to prevent a 5 - 0 whitewash

 

[andrew_nixon]

They are not making themselves available for the last one dayer. But as this is a ZCU statement, I wouldn't take it too seriously.

 

[imported_Rollo]

I hope I've posted it in the right format this time.

Result - 5th ODI

Sri Lanka: 246/7 (Arnold 51*)
Zimbabwe: 221/9 (Taylor 74) (Muralitharan 5/23)

Sri Lanka won by 25 runs

Man of the Match: RP Arnold

Man of the Series: T Taibu

Series: Sri Lanka wins the 5-match series 5-0

And Taibu took 2 wickets! The first time a wicket-keeper has taken a wicket in a ODI.
