What on earth was Maruma doing? staking a claim for a test berth?

A very slow start here. Poor shot from Hammie and Timcen Maruma. Taylor and Sibanda need to get their heads down now and push the singals. Coventry in !! At bloody last 😂

A very pretty looking shot from Taylor. Lovely cover drive 23-2

Taylor gone :( Almost a carbon copy of his dissmissal in the 4th ODI. Very disapointing

Taibu gone !! Leaving, lifting, edging. Poor poor effort from Zimbabwe. We need to regroup for the T20 and reassess our options. Enter Charles Coventry

Vusi Sibanda is obviously struggling with his hand. A slight worry :(

All the good work done at the beginning of the tour would be forgotten, this could very easily have been the series where Zim turned a corner :(

Sibanda gone :(

It's actually very worrying from a Zimbabwean perspective because one must stop and think if any progess has actually even been made. Ugh it's just mental torture is this :shock:

Nice shot from Coventry for nothing. We really just need to rotate the strike, and keep the score board moving 8-)

Chigumbura's looking good here. Promasing signs
Don't think i've ever seen a worse batting line up in a ODI can any Zimbabwe batsman perform against a test side? Big 100's scores against associates mean nothing when you cant get double figures against bowlers who are really West Indies A. What would Taylor and Edwards have done to this lot.

Charles Coventry's shaping up pretty well here. Nice shot from Chigs. I'm off for the day. Good luck lads :)

OH well im of to cricket nets to prepare myself for my call up for the T20 world cup 😂

But on a serious note, its important that the selectors cut out the under performing players

For all you Coventry critics, he is still there with the willow.

@ Conant: you will be really surprised buddy as chappie has surpassed 15 and still playing.

Michael Holding in commentary: "What Zimbabwe needs to look at for future, is their batting order and batting content. Why wasn't this man (Coventry) playing previously?"

Ignored for the first four ODI's, the man with a career strike rate of 90 plus, is the top scorer in the 5th ODI. Just completed quarter-century. Move on Chappie. Shame on Campbell and Co.

It was painful to see 194* man serving drinks to people like vusi, matsi, maruma and tailender Lamb. The humble gentleman who always wear zimbabwean pride on his sleeves, the terrific fielder, strike rotator, massive hitter, the zimbabwean batsman of 2009 can only be ignored in zimbabwe.
