Zim XI fall

polished all-round bowling display restricted the Zimbabweans to 180 in their second innings, securing victory by an innings and 18 runs.
Captain Brendan Taylor managed his second fifty of the match, and most of the Zimbabwean middle order made starts, but no batsman was able to stay at the crease long enough to raise hopes of saving the game.
Zimbabwe began the day in the shaky position of 49 for 3 with Taylor and nightwatchman Ray Price at the crease.
The pair extended their partnership to 48 – the highest stand of the innings – before feathered one through to Tim Paine off Jason Krejza’s bowling.
Still Zimbabwe resisted, Price and Craig Ervine clinging to the crease for almost 15 overs before Price was trapped in front of his stumps for 39 by Mitchell Marsh.
The Zimbabweans innings slid quickly into the mire thereafter, as they slipped from 129 for 4 to 130 for 7, Ervine and Elton Chigumbura departing in quick succession.
Peter Siddle had Brian Vitori caught behind for his fifth wicket of the match, and after Regis Chakabva was run out for 28 Krejza quickly got the better of Chris Mpofu to seal the match, and a 2-0 series victory.
The win also meant that Australia A completed a very successful tour of the country unbeaten in eight games – with one drawn match in Kwekwe. David Warner was named man of the series – Cricinfo.
