At least it's not just Zim who are embarassing today...

Zimbabwe 51/8 (30.4 ov)
60's looking like a good score at the moment.

We launched a famous one day international win against West Indies on the first series match, now we get bowled out for 89 by a "Select" side? Though we not the only team with an embarassing score today, England totally sucked against Sri Lanka. I hope Zim improves and corrects their mistakes.

Must be the pitch.
Looks that way. 40/3 now - although that's still a hell of a lot better than 9/3...

Don't think it could get much worse... Unless Zim can find a way to make Composite collapse in much the same way, though, the damage has probably been done - even with a good 2nd innings in the 200-300 range, they'll have a hard time salvaging anything after a 1st innings 89.
If there's a good thing that can come out of this, it's a wakeup for those who would like to put quotas on the selection. Not that I have any faith that will happen...

Agreed (to both sentences).

I go out for a few hours, expecting to come back and see the game still well and truly continuing... and I see Chigumbura has a 5-fer and SAC XI were bowled out for 98! Good to see Mpofu and Pricey get a few wickets too.
Great come from behind win. Must have been a shocking pitch for such low scores. In fact, I found a picture of Boland Park: Image 😂 😂

I do hope it was a bad pitch but even if it was, top teams wouldnt have got 89 against a south African 4th team equiilent.
Shows that Zimbabwe still have so much work to do and the apparant racial selection doesnt really help their cause at all.
i just hope Streaks suprise return for the Pakistan series doesnt boil things over.

Apparantly, heard it on a radio station this morning.
They were taking about the 3 - 8 quota, which in my opinion is pathetic. The administarion need to relise that maybe the white players are just more skilled than the upcoming black players. This is what their debate was about this morning. i cant quite believe the administration have the balls to keep doing what their doing. They are already in enough trouble as it is. It was said though that alot of the white players were returning because Chingoka and co are finaly relenting to their demands, probably because they werent making enough money with a failing side and dfinally came to their senses......either way they are corrupter than a nigerian oil magnate...
