A question about Ray Price why didn't he make it for Warwickshire(was this his county?)?


I don't feel Price was ever quite given a fair crack at Worcestershire. He played regularly, and with decent success in OD cricket, but he was behind Gareth Batty in the pecking order. Batty is more of an allround cricketer, averages around 30 with the bat, fields well, and has played test cricket for England as an off-spinner. He was also established in the Worcestershire side, and never had a pronlonged slump in form that would have given Price the opportunity to usurp him as the no. 1 spinner there. I do remember Price bowling Mike Hussey with a fantastic delivery in a county cup final a few years ago...

So lads, are we taking this ODI Cup home? I am very optmistic with a solid batting perfomance, top order getting fair and high averages we can thrash them. Rainsford should continue from where he left of.

sinbanda in this game and chigumbura out.

Was Chigumbura out confirmed on TV?

Gee I hope he's not injured :(
Veteran
This must be a very bowler friendly pitch. 150 would be a good score.

morning all

nice to see that wiiliams is playing looks like my source is correct

looks like we have tried to get wickets in hand

lets good as we have seen of 6 overs of mortaza
ZCF Hall of Famer
do you think utseya should open with himself or bowl the pacers first?
ZCF Hall of Famer
Betting odds at the luncheon break.

To win:


Bangladesh $1.25

Zimbabwe $3.75


That's not too bad, it means the bookies are placing a bit of faith in Zimbabwe here. If they thought the match was a foregone conclusion the odds would probably be more like BD 1/4 to Zim 36/4.

I wonder what Zimbabwe would have been at 6 wickets for 49.

I think Rainsford and Mupariwa should open, but it might be an idea to bring Price and Utseya on early if the situation warrants it.
ZCF Hall of Famer
i would go for utseya instead of price as bowling to the two left hand operners he will atke the ball away from the bat and leave price for the right handers
ZCF Hall of Famer
yeah prospers going to have a go
ZCF Hall of Famer
one down but they have got to a good start
ZCF Hall of Famer
We probably need to get them to 4/80, and make sure Shakib is out cheaply.
ZCF Hall of Famer
ash gone need two more
ZCF Hall of Famer
Shakib OUT :W:

Last roll of the dice for Zimbabwe now...
ZCF Hall of Famer
Ah well - you win some, you lose some. Bowlers just couldn't get the breakthroughs today, and weren't helped by the batting going to hell again. At least Williams got some form back.

That makes Friday's match the series decider. Still think we can win it, but please guys, sort out the batting!
Veteran
Get 50 up top somewhere and we can create more of a winning opportunity.

I think dropping Dabengwa was a crucial mistake, why change a winning side? Sibanda is woeful at the moment along with both matsi and Taibu. The problem is we have no depth what so ever so cover for players out of form.

On a side note im really glad to see that racial discrimination doesnt seem to be happening with selection now?!?!...with Sibanda being dropped for Waller and Williams retained at the expense of Dabengwa. Very interesting but good to see, players earning their spot on merit, not colour.
