Zimbabwe recover from dire straits NAGPUR, Nov 28: Zimbabwe were in with a good chance to save the second cricket test against India, having wiped off a huge first inning deficit of 227 runs for a net lead of 11 with seven wickets in hand at stumps on the penultimate day of the match here today. Forced to follow on, Zimbabwe were in dire straits, losing three wickets for only 61 but then Alistair Campbell and Andy Flower, both batting in their eighties, launched a massive salvage operation to take their side past the first innings deficit of 227. Off-spinner Sharandeep Singh was the only successful Indian bowler in Zimbabwe’s second innings, capturing all the three wickets for 76 runs while the other bowlers toiled hard on a lifeless wicket. Zimbabwe resumed their first innings at overnight score of 359 for six, still needing 51 runs to make India bat again. Grant Flower who was batting at 91 duly completed a well-deserved century but found little support from the other end as Zimbabwe folded up for 382 and were asked to follow on. Both Campbell and Flower picked out Sharandeep Singh for special treatment despite three close in fielders keeping guard. Campbell, unbeaten on 83, has so far faced 168 balls hitting 12 fours during his unfinished 228-minute vigil at the crease. Flower gave solid support to his senior partner, and in fact surpassed Campbell to remain unbeaten on 88 (188 balls, 10 fours, 2 sixes). Earlier in the day, Indian speedster Javagal Srinath set the proverbial cat amongst the pigeon, picking up three Zimbabwean wickets conceding 81 runs, after the visitors resumed at their overnight first innings score of 359 for six. However, the Indian bowlers could not disturb the overnight vigil of Grant Flower, who went on to score his sixth test century in his 46th match. Flower, who faced 196 balls during his stay of 272 minutes struck 12 fours and four sixes, before he ran out of partners to remain unconquered on 106. Mluleki Nkala (6) and last man Henry Olonga (0), fell cheaply to Srinath, after Zimbabwean skipper Heath Streak was trapped leg-before at his overnight score of 16 by the lanky Karnataka speedster. Brian Murphy was caught by Shiv Sunder Das off Sunil Joshi even before he could open his score.
