**Official** Zimbabwe in South Africa Thread

[Neil Pickup]

Kemp got stumped by the width of a small bridleway, trying to put Utseya into orbit.

Zimbabwe competed well in the middle overs, but Boucher's experience and Panyangara and Chigumbura's lack thereof combined to let it slip at the death.

I'm surprised Sky chose to show this series instead of New Zealand v. Australia- I guess all the equipment and commentators were in South Africa after England.

The match is over. Zimbabwe have been taken apart. But the fact that Adam Bacher got runs probably shows how poor the team is.

Streak, Carlisle and Blignaut can't come back soon enough! With them Zimbabwe might be able to beat Bangladesh, at least. And the youngsters would have someone learn from.

Sky has the rights to the SuperSport feed in South Africa.. It does not have the rights to the feed for New Zealand..

Hence the reason SA v Bangladesh and SA v Zim gets televised, and NZ v AUS doesn't..

Mpofu bowling hit-me balls at Bacher - even the prince of uselessness taking boundaries off the Zimboks. 300+ on the cards.

What the hell have you got against Adam Bacher?
God forbid you're willing to judge him on a single innings where he played one terrible shot...

 

[Langeveldt]

Game should finish just in time for the Super 12

For once, I decided to watch the Sharks v Stormers game over the cricket..

Interesting times, the empty Wanderers depressed me..

Worst. Wicket. Ever.

Huuuge Matsikenyeri full toss. Smith hoiks. Misses. LBW.

We don't see many LBW's with a full toss, do we? I can't remember if I've ever seen one before.

GA Hick, lbw b Nash, Old Trafford, 1999.
One off the top of my head.

From everything I've seen of him this winter he has looked at best unconvincing and at worst a liability. He doesn't seem to have the facility to deal with late movement in the least, appears very weak on the front foot (nothing wrong at all on the back foot). Haven't done too much detailed technical analysis on him but I was never bothered when he was at the crease against England and that instinct's rarely wrong.

 

[Richard]

Personally I've seen him bat sometimes and I've wondered why he's not played 100 ODIs.

And I've wondered why he's played at all. And I can't get the word "nepotism" out of my head, either.

Can't really blame us though, its kinda like getting into bed with Liz Hurley and finding out she's really a he...a bit of an anticlimax after the Engalnd series and all.

Ohh, didn't know you'd seen our beautiful woman, we try tell as few people as possible.

Yeh, I was too young to develop a real appreciation.. Or any notches on the bedpost for that matter..

I've seen and heard some good evidence since, and my business studies gave a glowing report of the local "crumpet"

Here's an exercise for you :

Go to www.google.co.za

- Click on Afrikaans
- Select bladsye uit Suid-Afrika
- Search for crumpet and go to the first result

Yes, a bunch if dogs...over here we eat pancake's for breakfast.

What the hell have you got against Adam Bacher?

What the hell have you got against most of the Cricketing World apart from Graeme Smith and Prosper Utseya?

Because selectors actually look at what's happened rather what they think should have happened?
