Ireland annihilate Zimbabwe

[Neil Pickup]

Zimbabwe 182 all out (49.5 overs)
DD Ebrahim 52, S Matsikenyeri 50, T Taibu 35, TJ Friend 22
GJ Neely 3/30, PJK Mooney 2/19

Ireland 183-0 (33.4 overs)
JAM Molins 107*, AC Bray 67*

What is there to say that the scorecard (http://uk.cricinfo.com//link_to_dat..._IN_ENG/SCORECARDS/ZIM_IRELAND_13JUN2003.html) doesn't?

Yep I was rather shocked to say the least when Bazza (I think) told me the scores.

My first question was who did they have a guest player (like they have had Waugh etc in the past) and asumed they must have done the bulk of the scoring, but to my suprise the guest was a unknown (to me anyway) and he didn't even get to bat!

Not to lose a wicket and go at a remarkable 5.5 an over was some effort and who knows, maybe they will think themselves worthy of joining Scotland in the NCL next season

Zimbabwe - now officially as good as the West Indies

Hey!

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Zimbabwe 182 all out (49.5 overs)
DD Ebrahim 52, S Matsikenyeri 50, T Taibu 35, TJ Friend 22
GJ Neely 3/30, PJK Mooney 2/19

159 runs scored between 4 batsmen...23 runs between the rest and extras (?).....

 

[luckyeddie]

Hey!

Just looking back a couple of decades, that's all. Ireland once bowled the West Indies out for 25 or so

Well Zimbabwe have totally lost the plot on this tour...what with poor results on the field aswell as bad behaviour off the field they're definately heading towards being on par with Bangladesh.

One of the players said that I think.

Why not I say, make it 2 divisions of 10!

Excellent idea

What about Holland?

So we know it won't happen then!

What about Holland?

3 lots of 7?

 

[Bazza]

Is it Denmark who also play in the C&G?

Maybe expenses would be too high for the likes of Holland and Denmark? Still would be good to see Ireland in there at least, especially as Scotland have hardly been whipping boys (and that's before Dravid arrived).

Nah they will never be that bad....

On the subject of Holland, did anyone see much of this Dutch guy who's playing for Essex?

Ten Doschate or something like that?

'Dutch' as in Michael 'Welsh' Kasprowicz? Yes, he looked very good.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Ceefax said that he was Dutch :P

I just wondered why he wasn't in the Holland squad for the World Cup

(Checks Cricinfo)

Ahh, South African. Never trust the BBC :P

 

[Langeveldt]

Ahh, South African

Makes a change :!(
