Zimbabwe coach confident

HARARE, JULY 26. Zimbabwe coach Carl Rackemann is backing his side to turn the tables on the West Indies and level the two- match series when the second Test gets underway at the Harare Sports Club on Friday.

Zimbabwe was crushed by an innings and 176 runs in the first Test in Bulawayo, but Rackemann believes his players can bounce back, just as they did against India last month.

``We're capable of it without a doubt,'' Rackemann said.

``We can easily turn the tables and we can easily outplay the West Indies but talking about it doesn't do it.

The guys have got to put their hand up, the batsmen have got to put a price on their wicket and look to dominate and the bowlers have got to bowl with more discipline.

The teams:

Zimbabwe: Heath Streak (captain), Dion Ebrahim, Alistair Campbell, Hamilton Masakadza, Gavin Rennie, Craig Wishart, Guy Whittall, Grant Flower, Andy Blignaut, Tatenda Taibu, Bryan Strang, Raymond Price, Paul Strang, Brighton Watambwa, Henry Olonga, David Mutendera, Dirk Viljoen, Gary Brent.

West Indies: Carl Hooper (captain), Chris Gayle, Daren Ganga, Leon Garrick, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Marlon Samuels, Courtney Browne, Neil McGarrell, Colin Stuart, Reon King, Pedro Collins, Corey Collymore, Marlon Black, Dave Mohammed.
