The West Indies cricket team again lost to Zimbabwe yesterday  in a tense first one-day international in Guyana.

Zimbabwe followed up their historic Twenty20 win on Sunday by beating the West Indies by two runs as the tourists ended with a win of 254 for 5 after opting to bat first on a slow wicket.
However, Windies skipper Chris Gayle hit 57 and Shivnarine Chanderpaul 70 to leave the Windies needing 15 from the final over.

But Kemar Roach failed to hit four off the final ball leading to the loss.

Gayle could not hide his disappointment, stating after the loss: `It was a terrible display of batting at the end. If we don`t learn, we`re going to get beaten. If we carry on like this Zimbabwe will beat us 5-0. It was a terrible display.  We need to dig ourselves quickly out of this hole. There`s a lot of things to put on the table and discuss.`
