Johnson jolts Windies
BRISTOL. England. July 7: Zimbabwe, led by the dependable bat of Neil Johnson, finally saw the light against West Indies here on Thursday, reports AFP.
Beaten in the Trinidad Test they should have won back in March, and nowhere near winning any of their previous eight one-day matches against West Indies.' Andy Flower's determined team finally got off the mark in the razzmatazz of Bristol's historic day/night match.
It was a fitting to way to finish the first inteniational to be played under floodlights in Britain and they won by sLx wickets with 30 balls to spare for their first triumph over W. -todies hi any ((g^ of cricket- t
And it added sbm6‘ early Spicb to the Triaiigular Series,' which also features England.
Time eventually ran out for Johnson to follow' the hundred he took off Australia in last year's World Cup at Lord's.
The left-hander made a measured 95 not out from 128 deliveries. including nine fours, and w’as denied the chance of aiming for a six to reach three figures w’hen West Indies captain Jimmy Adams bow’led a wide with his first ball to bring the formalities to a close.
Man-of-the-match Johnson, normally a dashing performer at the head of the innings, knuckled down to play an anchor role and only began to become expansive once the game was in the bag.
For Flower it was particularly satisfying result, having played in all Zimbabwe's 139 internationals since they gained Test-playing status in
Saturday.
While captain Jimmy Adams remains a philosophical character, two important International defeats Inside a week Is hardly the ideal situation
They must return to Lord's on Sunday for their second match of the three-nalum tour-
He said: 'We hit the ground running. Johnson held it together. he’s a strong player He w’as brilliant today.'
And. until this special occasion. West Indies were the only country Zimbabwe had never defeated ui a one-day game.
Flower made an important 42 from 59 balls, adding 70 with Johnson in 18 overs at the heart of the innings. And later brother Grant stayed with Johnson until the end. making 26 from 25 balls.
West Indies, for their part, would have welcomed victory so soon after coming second in the photo-finish Lord's Test last
JOHNSON ... m-o-m nament against England, but 24 hours earlier Zimbabwe will be in the right frame of mind to repeat their success against the hosts at The Oval.
By virtue of their controlled cricket. Zimbabwe managed to stay in a solid position throughout, restricting West Indies to a regulation score of 232 for seven, and suffering few setbacks in their own solid and sensible batting effort.
But it will be a match more remembered by the 8.000 locals for its rock music to greet boundaries and signal dismissals. the rollerbair event between innings and the fact that the six glowing though temporary pylons gave their ground an international first in this country.
All that on the pasture on which the legendary W.G. Grace played his cricket for Gloucestershire. Traditionalists were left to wonder what the famous Doctor would have made of all this. runs.
Zimbabwe lost Craig Wishart in the sixth over when a ball from Franklyn Rose lifted awkwardly and flew of the splice to Ricardo Powell at point.
Murray Goodwin, 23 from 15 balls, stroked the ball too flu-
ently for West Indies' comfort and it must have come as a relief when Waved Hinds pulled down one of his drives at short cover In the 10th over, soon after Zimbabwe had moved purposefully past 50.
Then ex-captaln Alistair Campbell (17) nicked a catch behind off a rapid delivery from Merv Dillon In the 18th over at 90.
Brian Lara top-scored for West Indies with 60 from 63 deliveries after earlier taking cover from a swarm of bees.
At Cardiff in early June. Lara and his team-mates were similarly disturbed by an influx of humming Intruders and this time Lara, fellow batsman Hinds and the Zimbabwe’s fielders stretched out on the turl
Tli£ ’greai lef(-hander, though, was outstroked in a stand of 56 with the clean-hitting Powell (36 in 23 balls).
Powell was eventually well taken on the run by Grant Flower at wide long on, a good catch which may have saved Zimbabwe from a real bout of leather-chasing in the final overs with the young righthander looking so switched on to the situation and demands of his side.
Chris Gayle struck 41 from 87 balls before being run out in .i mix-up witli Hinds, again (.■rant Flower was involved in the dismissal after both men ended up at the same end
Hinds. 51 from 74 deliveries, failed to clear the straight boundary and was caught by Wishart sighting his second six.
