Me too. I'm furious that 9 wickets fell in 15 overs. That is embarrassing, and ultimately cost us the match. If Taylor was batting with Sibanda until the 45th over, we would have made 260+. Instead, Taylor didn't have the same partner for more than 5 minutes.

I can't believe Zimbabwe lost that game from 0/160 odd. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Nope, surprisingly both Pommie n Pycroft not there. Pom is one of the best. Dean du plesis has not been given contract to commentate as he calls a spade a spade.

However, Curran is the newest member in commentatory team.

Good to at least see us past 215 after 46overs. Andy its difficult to get any coverage here. Its only the Ford Ranger Cup. Wish they knew how exciting Zim cricket is instead of the usual stuff they show here. I am still confident we will win today. Byo wicket is not normally a high scoring one.
where not goin to bat the overs at this rate

Utseya out.

Taylor on 24, but he has the strike next over. He needs to take control for these last 2 overs. Andy, don't worry, we'll bat the next two overs out.
you live in Australia Which state. Yeah it be nice to see a few matches on tv once and a while

Oh no!


49.5 Bravo to Taylor, OUT

GB Brent run out 9 (7b 1x4 0x6) SR: 128.57


I wonder what the situation was with them crossing? I hope Taylor is facing the final ball....
i live in vic
Now lets the bowlers make up for the collapse. there would 7 wickets fall in the space of ten overs
Yeah I am sure we will be talkin a lot about Zim Cricket. Anyway I just hope we win today. We need the eaqualising game. Maybe we have done enough with the byo wicket, Utseya and Price am sure will relish the prospect of bowling to Windies minus Gayle.

That was shocking. 9 wickets fell in 15 overs. Obviously they all had a bit of a smash, but but someone other than Taylor should have stuck around.

I'm worried we might be about 20 runs short of a good total, but it's a competitive total. It will be a very interesting couple of hours now.

I wouldn't say that. Morton in particular seems to be suffering from the same lack of urgency that killed WI in the 1st ODI - I'd hope we could strangle them again and just run them out of time. It's those wickets in hand that are the problem, though...

...and as soon as I say that, Price has a poor over. Ack.

Followed by an even poorer over by Dabengwa. Would require an absolute miracle for Zimbabwe to pull this one off. Maybe they should throw the ball to Brendan Taylor.

Great catch by Chibhabha. Its been see-saw regarding fielding fortunes. 2 half chances dropped. A simplest skier spilled by Taylor, another dropped by Keith and two great catches by Elton n Chibhabha now.

Its great to see legendary Campbell and handsome Viljoen commentating.

that batting collapse is really hurting. This game was ours for the taking only IF...a very big if.

43.3 Price to Bravo, SIX


I think that there might be the match. Good effort by the boys, but very, very disappointing that 9 wickets fell in 15 overs. 232 was never going to be enough. 250 I thought would be about par, and by the looks of the WI innings that looks about right.
