8th Match - United Arab Emirates v Zimbabwe

[James]

Discussion surrounding the 8th Match of the World Cup between United Arab Emirates and Zimbabwe (Saxton Oval, Nelson).

 

[_Ed_]

This will be tough for UAE if Zimbabwe perform to a similar level to what they produced in Hamilton.

I know that is easy enough to check but is there any way when the new post is created for the World Cup to put the venue in as well?

For instance 6th Match - New Zealand vs Scotland at Dunedin (University Oval)

Yeah if the Zimbobs play like that the UAE will cop a hiding, frankly.

 

[brockley]

I expect out of the 4 associates UAE will really struggle,it would be good if i was proved wrong.

 

[smash84]

yeah, Aqib Javed is the coach there and he said we are only looking for two victories. Safe to say they ain't shooting for the stars

 

[Bahnz]

Huge game for both sides after the Ireland upset. Backing Zim to win this easy.

Shah Rukh should make a movie Happy World Cup out of a group of Indian day laborers from Dubai forming the UAE XI and becoming world champions even though they didn't know how to play cricket nine months before the tournament began. All for some revenge for mother/father/brother/sister, of course.

htis is a good suggestion. i hope the elite of cricketweb do not turn a blind eye to posts strung up by newer users, such as ourselves.

 

[tosser]

in fact, i'll hand out my very first like to the aforesaid post, billy

Chakabva replaces Chibhabha - seems a bit surprising after he played so well against SA.

 

[Pratters]

Another game at Nelson? Sweet.

 

[stumpski]

Is that out?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Berenger riding his luck, you feel...

 

[Pratters]

Berenger has been okay. It is Ali who is finding even 120k balls too fast.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I'd be very interested to see how close Chatara's foot has been for the other deliveries in this match. It's frankly stupid how umpires seem to not watch the line most of the time and then only check when there's a wicket, the bowler relies on the umpire for feedback.

 

[andmark]

A wicket seems imminent. It's been impressively good bowling.

 

[_Ed_]

drove that in a manner vaguely reminiscent of Salman Butt

Strange comparison.

 

[Pratters]

Chatara's action is so front on, some thing seems amiss. Hence the inconsistent lines.

 

[Pratters]

Mire looks good for ODI cricket in these conditions. Medium paced but nice clean action. Can get a few out trying to drive in the Zimbabwe upset of a bigger nation.
