Flower in full bloom

Luck is a difficult quotient to assess, especially in cricket where its effect can be as fleeting and capricious as an off-shore wind. Yet undeniably, Andy Flower, the Zimbabwe captain, has had it in spadefuls in this their first ever Test against the West Indies. Winning the toss is always useful, making the right decision even more so, and he got that right too when West Indies were dismissed for 187. The pitch appears to be holding up well, and he may even be spared the problem of batting last on a worn, uneven wicket.

Zimbabwe charge for victory

The Zimbabwe captain Andy Flower resisted Sri Lanka's charge for victory with an unbeaten 107 on the fourth day of the second Test in Harare. His sixth Test century carried Zimbabwe, needing 258 to avoid an innings defeat, to 235 for six before bad light ended play nine overs early.
