Next time you see a Zimbabwean batting collapse, spare a thought for the West Indies U19 squad, who were bowled out by Barbados for just 18 yesterday in a KFC Cup match. WI batting card below the cut for posterity - although I don't think any of those involved will be wanting to see too much of it. Pedro Collins led the rout, taking 7 wickets for just 11 runs in 7.3 overs. Somehow Zimbabwe's record low of 35 (against Sri Lanka) doesn't seem so bad...

I can only laugh. Coming on to tht 35-run match,it was a freak day as the skipper puts. Thank God the skipper was not any famed Zimbabwean rather Stuey Carlisle.
