Close Zimbabwe 507 for 9 dec and 200 for 7 dec drew with West Indies 335 and 207 for 9 (Jacobs 60*)

Zimbabwe were denied a rare Test victory after years of defeat and failure, as the last-wicket pair of Ridley Jacobs and Fidel Edwards successfully played out the last 32 minutes and 71 deliveries to secure a thrilling draw at Harare. The weather remarkably stayed fine to the end, but it was only to mock the earnest, but ultimately futile, efforts of the heart-broken Zimbabwe side.

Zimbabwe had the game all but wrapped up when West Indies sunk to 204 for 9, but Jacobs, who finished on 60 not out, and Edwards emerged as the last-ditch heroes to hold out for the draw. Ray Price, who became only the third Zimbabwean bowler to take ten wickets in an innings, bowled his heart out, wheeling through 38 overs without a break. Heath Streak would gladly have swapped his Man of the Match award after his first-innings century and superb bowling for what would have been a wonderful victory after 11 successive defeats.

ya know, i often wonder what on earth the ICC is thinking allowing certain members to play international cricket. if they got rid of all the shabby nations from the calendar then we could see far more interesting matches. west indies v zimbabwe is a classic example - whats the point? if we did away with these nations then we could have more games involving the likes of south africa and australia. :rant:
