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) :)
Its 1245am in QLD Aus now but I have to see us win this game, I hope!

This time of year is hit and miss for rain, the games should all go ahead ok i would have thought.


That's good to hear. Thankfully Harare hasn't had any rain today, I guess that is the main thing! :)


I am sure we might win this game.


😂 Yes it always feels that way when supporting Zimbabwe.

Chibhabha collided with Chanderpaul. :(


He is down on the ground. Physio comes out to have a look. All seems ok. Zimbabwe players are in a huddle.
Morton out now. Finally although I would have wanted Chanderpaul to be the wicket. Still great stuff srom our guys. There was talk ealier on about Steu Matsikenyeri. I am sure today he proved a lot of us wrong. Great stuff.

Matsikenyeri drops one this time! What is it with the fielding today!
I see cricinfo is back online. Wonder what they think of Zim today seeing as they always post negative articles about us.

I forsee a large plate of humble pie. Probably laced with comments like "the West Indies didn't really try" and "it was a fluke".

Finally! Someone holds on to a catch!!


46.4 Brent to Lewis, OUT, heaves it in the air straight into the hands of Chigumbura at deep square leg.

RN Lewis c Chigumbura b Brent 14 (8m 7b 1x4 1x6) SR: 200.00
Lewis bites the dust. Any news on how many fans are at HSC today Maehara, BRMTaylor.com admin?

Unfortunately I don't have any news, perhaps maehara does though.

Earlier zimdan said crowds are generally better on weekends than weekdays, so today's might not have been a huge crowd. Cricinfo said the "crowd was getting excited" so I assume there are a few people there :)

Bravo out, clean bowled by Chibhabha. :D :D

WI - pathetic performance.
It gets better doesn't it! Bravo out! Nice work guys. I am sure this game is pretty much ours or my name is Sachin Tendulker, which it aint!

Sadly not. I expect they'll have bussed the schoolkids in to give them a decent audience, though.

I remember being one of those schoolkids, a long time ago...
I see our SA brothers are struggling vs the Kiwis. I wonder what sort of pitch it is? Maybe the slow ones SA are famed for. I think we won and like Maehara said some humble pie report today/tommorow.

Cricinfo say either cramping or a hamstring... I hope like hell it is just a cramp

Another two down. Anyone taking odds on the Windies being bowled out? :)
Chigumbura on a "hat trick". Good on ya mate.

And that's the game, Zimbabwe win by 31 runs.

That was a comprehensive victory too. I can't wait to see what Cricinfo write about the game :twisted:

I see Cricinfo is talking about a lacklustre performance from the Windies on their commentary. No mention of how graet Zim played today. They're predictable I guess.LOL
