over the moon at getting a start and then to get some runs was just great.

to bat out there with marc my fellow red really settled the nerves which was great and his calm composure as a player definately helped me. I think he's a fine player and one whose attitude I look up to.

The team performance was great, and the bowlers were awesome to maintain their composure when they came under fire towards the end..

A great win guys and one which i'm so proud that i took part of.

Nice recovery guys, Ian Markus, top stuff as usual from you sharing a century stand with our domestic captain, Marc. Buts and Blewy did a great job to see us home Well done for that you 2.

Broadbent is showing huge potential so far, he really is churning out some good bowling performances. Marc and Buts did their job as support bowlers. Personally it was an OK game, Still a bit too expensive, but hey, we're all on the improve.
The RPO is largely due to your last 2 overs costing 19 runs.

Big chance here boys - Markus has lead from the front well for the Reds on occasions this season, so he could really nail a spot down here.

1.3 Broadbent to Sibanda, OUT, That didnt look so convincing but the umpire has no doubt, out LBW

V Sibanda 1 (6b)
lbw b. Broadbent
Misjudged that one. That was too close to leave and it does look a bit high but it was give. You've got a bat, use it.
The vice-captain takes his guard...
1.4 Broadbent to Ebrahim, two runs, Great running between the wickets 2 more
1.5 Broadbent to Ebrahim, wide, Chris Broadbent bowling a very wayward one
1.5 Broadbent to Ebrahim, FOUR, Flashed hard past 3rd slip and away for FOUR!
1.6 Broadbent to Ebrahim, SIX, Top-edged hook that sailed straight back for SIX!

End of over 2 (14 runs)

4.2 Timewell to Ebrahim, OUT, Bowled him! Great delivery by Timewell. Ebrahim didnt have a clue

DD Ebrahim 21 (14b 2X4 1X6)
b. Timewell
Knocked him over comprehensively! That was pitched fullish and a bit of inseam and Ebrahim just played all around it!
---
4.4 Timewell to Taylor, OUT, What a brilliant catch by Ash Chaulk

BRM Taylor 4 (8b)
c. Chaulk b. Timewell
Wonderful athleticism! On a length and moving away and Chaulk just flirted with it outside offstump, got a big deflection and Chaulk took a wonderful low catch to his right.
---

5.3 Broadbent to Taibu, one run, One more to the total
5.4 Broadbent to Matsi'yeri, OUT, Ash Chaulk takes an easy catch to dismiss S Matsikenyeri, out for a duck

S Matsikenyeri 0 (3b)
c. Chaulk b. Broadbent
Loose shot that. Poor ball from Broadbent - wide and full - and Matsikenyeri just threw everything at it only to get a thin edge to the willing 'keeper.
---
12.6 Marc71178 to Taibu, OUT, What a brilliant catch by Ash Chaulk

T Taibu 15 (24b 1X4)
c. Chaulk b. Marc71178
Inside edge to that offdrive and smartly held by Chaulk.

T Panyangara 10 (24b)
b. Marc71178

A Maregwede 17 (38b)
b. Zebra
Maiden ODI wicket and the young man is all smiles.
---
35.2 Zebra to Mwayenga, OUT, Big appeal behind the stumps, umpire gives W Mwayenga the finger

W Mwayenga 4 (14b)
c. Chaulk b. Zebra
Another one! Great bowling. Pitching outside legstump again, but this time it turned and bounced and Mwayenga's defensive shot produced the thinnest of outside edges. Top stuff!
---

---
46.2 Timewell to Chigumbura, FOUR, That was a bad delivery by Rob Timewell, deserving this punishment

3.6 Hondo to Markus, FOUR, That was a bad delivery by DT Hondo, deserving this punishment... the first boundary of the innings
---
5.6 Chigumbura to Markus, FOUR, Brilliant cover drive by Ian Markus! He's a joy to watch when he gets going
---
6.4 Panyangara to Markus, FOUR, T Panyangara cant belive it - flat-batted swat through midwicket and to the ropes
6.5 Panyangara to Markus, OUT, Thats plumb in front of the wicket

Ian Markus 18 (27b 3X4)
lbw b. Panyangara
He went for the shot again, but it kept low and he's gone!
The young wicketkeeper takes his place at the crease and prepares to face his first delivery...
6.6 Panyangara to Chaulk, FOUR, Brilliant cover drive by Ash Chaulk
What a way to get off the mark!

22.2 Rainsford to Cloete, no run, Appeal for LBW, a bit too optimistic though
22.3 Rainsford to Cloete, one run, That was a very risky single.
22.4 Rainsford to Chaulk, no run, That ball was a mystery to the batsman - great change of pace
22.5 Rainsford to Chaulk, SIX, ???!!! Its coming towards the commentary box Im leaving!!!
He picked that slower one superbly!

23.6 Sibanda to Cloete, one run, That was a very risky single.
Thats another fifty for Cloete. He's looked in good touch throughout this series, but he'd like to push on to a really big score...
---
24.1 Taibu to Cloete, OUT, BRM Taylor takes an easy catch to dismiss Cloete

Cloete 50 (62b 3X4 1X6)
c. Taylor b. Taibu
Another half-century and out. A little too ambitious there. Earlier he went down the track and didn't get to the pitch, but got a boundary anyway. No such luck this time, he picks out Taylor rather shallow in the outfield.
---
25.2 Hondo to Chaulk, two runs, Overthrow by Mwayenga instead of 1 they get 2
The crowd cheers for Ash Chaulk's fifty - his second in ODI cricket. Well-played young man!
---
26.4 Mwayenga to Chaulk, OUT, That ball caught the edge and struck the stumps. Chaulk is furious with himself. That ball was a foot and a half outside the offstump and he carelessly played on

Ash Chaulk 54 (69b 4X4 1X6)
b. Mwayenga
---
29.2 Mwayenga to Marc71178, FOUR, Late guide where slip would be and away for a boundary

30.3 Taibu to Buts, no run, C Buts beaten as he went back to cut
30.4 Taibu to Buts, SIX, BANG!!! He broke out the slog sweep and murdered that delivery!
30.5 Taibu to Buts, one run, One more to the total - intelligent cricket to push the ball to long
30.6 Taibu to Marc71178, no run, T Taibu is getting the ball to turn ferociously

32.1 Rainsford to Marc71178, SIX, ???!!! Driven straight and LONG! SIX!
32.2 Rainsford to Marc71178, no run, A lot of movement being extracted by Rainsford, but defended by Marc71178
32.3 Rainsford to Marc71178, FOUR, Driven again! One bounce FOUR! Marc getting his eye in...
---
35.2 Mwayenga to Marc71178, FOUR, WOW! What an ondrive! Terrific balance. Marc71178 is in some epic form at the moment...
35.3 Mwayenga to Marc71178, SIX, And there's the confidence! Two steps to the legside and SMACK! It soared over longoff... one of the shots of the series!
35.4 Mwayenga to Marc71178, no run, Appeal for LBW, a bit too optimistic though
35.5 Mwayenga to Marc71178, no run, Pushed to short extra cover
35.6 Mwayenga to Marc71178, FOUR, Guided expertly where slip would have been! CW almost there now, but they're intent on finishing in style

36.1 Panyangara to Buts, three runs, They've gone for one, it may be a boundary... the fielder slides, they're back for the second... he's saved the boundary, but they're turning for a third... Game won!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Daily Blast Comment: Clinical finish by CW batsmen after the bowlers kept the Zimbabweans under control. Marc71178 further etches his features into the nightmare of the visitors, with another professional allround effort and his third consecutive Man of the Match award. A whitewash on the cards - 4-0 and counting...

Not to forget this one:

BRM Taylor 4 (8b)
c. Chaulk b. Timewell
Wonderful athleticism! On a length and moving away and Chaulk just flirted with it outside offstump, got a big deflection and Chaulk took a wonderful low catch to his right.
