Zimbabwe FTW

Should be a interesting series. Time for Zim to show the world how far they progressed in redeveloping.

Looking forward to watching Flower. Nice to see SA are giving Theron a go in the T20s too.

Not sure interesting is how I'd describe this to be honest.

One sided average boosting maybe (oh I see Jacques is playing - quelle suprise!)

Zimbabwe haven't beaten South Africa in 10 years and in all cricket have only beaten RSA twice (WC 1999, Durban 2000) in over 35 international games.

 

[Murtini]

Best of luck to Zimbabwe, will be cheering them on. I just hope for a closely run series, and it should be.

 

[popepouri]

Masakada apparently wants to play the game by himself.

 

[Furball]

Best of luck to Zimbabwe, will be cheering them on. I just hope for a closely run series, and it should be.

On what basis?

 

[popepouri]

On what basis?

Ryan McLaren.

 

[akilana]

What's Duminy doing out there? C Petersen would have been more useful.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Cool. Didn't realise Sky was carrying this.

No Flower? Thought he'd be shoo in.

 

[akilana]

Good efforts by zimbabwe so far. poor from SA.

 

[Furball]

cricinfo showing Parnell as bowling 5 overs, so who bowled the last over?

 

[akilana]

Mclaren

 

[popepouri]

Oh dear, this is getting messy.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lol. Fat Gray put down at short fine leg.

Taken a real fancy to Masakadza's slow mediums.

 

[popepouri]

Well that partnership adds more awesome to the Bosman/Smith combination. Before this match, it was 9 matches, 590 runs at an average of 73 and a S/R of over 10.

 

[akilana]

now duminy to give the match back to zimbabwe.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Like the look of Miller. Little bit of Gilchrist in the way he strikes the ball. Maybe slightly more bottom handed than Gilly was.

Rarely face a more welcoming attack tho, it must be said.
