CRICKET.
Zimbabwe restored some muchneeded pride following their recordbreaking defeat to Sri Lanka as they posted a four-wicket win over the West Indies in Colombo.The Africans crashed to the lowest ever total in one-day international history when they were dismissed for just 38 by Sri Lanka in the triangular tournament's opener.
But they bounced back to bowl the West Indies out for 173 before knocking the runs off for the loss of six wickets.
Although opener Dion Ebrahim was dismissed for a golden duck to the first ball of the innings for the second day running, captain Stuart Carlisle (47), Andy Flower (47no) and brother Grant (30) steered Zimbabwe to victory.
