No worries, we're glad you like it! Don't give up hope of not seeing the game, there is a possibility of an online stream but we won't know until closer to the time (hopefully we will find one over the next hour and a half) :)

Weekday games wont see many people as they will have work, but the weekend game should see alot more.

School Children make up alot of the weekday crowd which is really nice to see.

are you in zimbabwe also?

Nah I'm not, if I was I'd probably be at Harare Sports Club 😂

Required RR 8.36

Run rate rising quickly now, Price and Utseya doing a stellar job. Thank God Ray Price returned!

Argh our fielding sounds horrible!

This is our second dropped catch. And Chanderpaul too :(


32.2 Utseya to Chanderpaul, 1 run, dropped! Cuts it hard in the air behind the wicket, Sibanda drops it, that was a simple chance.


Sibanda is injured. Thigh injury apparantly.

Required rate of 9.85. If we can't win it from here, there's something wrong...

its pretty much of a formality from here, just gotta stick guys on the boundries and hope for no sixes and the game is ours.

They cant win on singles now!

For some reason, WI seem happy to tick along at 5-6/over - without being able to see the match I can't tell if that's down to good bowling by our boys or lack of effort by their, but I'll take the win either way...

Yep. Chigumbura and Brent can get through 6 overs together, leaving Chibhabha, and maybe a few from Masakadza (who has 1/4!)

Yeah, pretty strange huh? From Cricinfo, it looks like they are happy to just bat out the game :?

I dont care either way, a win is more points for the ICC ODI table and alot of points lost for WI.

A win is a win even if WI arent trying which i doubt however.

I would just put it down to good bowling from price and utseya.

Indeed. A loss would be very embarrassing for WI, why wouldn't they try and avoid it at all costs?


Chanderpaul seems have cramped up, the Physio comes out to have a look at him.


A few injuries in this game so far!

Yup. With more than 50 points between the two sides, there's extra points on offer for Zim (and for WI to lose).

The flipside of that is that a loss wouldn't have affected Zim's rating too much; and one win will probably be enough to ensure we finish the series on more points than we started it.

Another drop!


40.6 Dabengwa to Morton, SIX, dropped! Down the track and hits it straight in the air to Masakadza at long on, drops it and in the process gives away a six.


Behind Australia and maybe South Africa, I think Zimbabwe is the best fielding side in the world. But not on today's efforts :o

I'm never too crictical of drops near the boundary - can be hard to keep your feet when the boundary rope's just behind you. Just a shame it went for six after that...

True. No doubt it would have been a tough one.

Utseya bringing Masakadza back into the attack. Wants to give Chigumbura and Brent as long a break as possible I guess.

94 from 42.....WI looking down a black hole!

If the cricinfo commentry has died for you.


Thanks, it's died for me as well.

How's the weather in Bulawayo? BBC said Harare was supposed to have heavy showers today.
Veteran
its not too bad, been a few showers today but just partly cloudy now.

This time of year is hit and miss for rain, the games should all go ahead ok i would have thought.
Cricinfo had died for me too. Thanks a lot. I am sure we might win this game.
