Opening post

somebody tell me, what is Matsikenyeri doing in this squad. Hope he proves me wrong today

Sibanda out, again, after a good start. Dabengwa in at 4. This could be a very crucial knock for himself, and for the team.

BTW, there is a new question at Zimbabwe Cricket Photo Quiz thread :)

Ah well, it didn't take me long to mess things up, i have a look at the score on cricinfo and Sibanda is out :(

Dabengwa in at number 4, after all that we have said about him it would be 'interesting' to try him higher up the order or as an opener to see if he could do a job, if he is going to be a regular in the side then he should work for his money.

Not really sure what to say about Williams, if the latest story is true, is it him or is he being 'advised' by someone ?, whatever is happening he can't keep bouncing around like this.

Looks as though the scoring rate is too low again, it needs to be pushed along in these middle overs as we can't expect Chigumbura to bat like he did on tuesday in every game.

good start. wouldnt mind to see the run rate get past 5 an over

I'm worried the scorecard might be wrong:


14.5 Odhiambo to Matsikenyeri, no run, full on middle and defended just beside the bowler and they run a quick single

14.6 Odhiambo to Matsikenyeri, no run, full on leg and defended on the front foot and that's drinks


And Sibanda faced the first ball of the next over. If the single was taken, that means Sibanda is still batting and Matsikenyeri is out.

cric info often gets in wrong i think this is right

on the plus side my two least favorite players in the zim team are playing well
141/2 after 27,5 overs. i wanted matsikenyere out but i guess he is proving me wrong.

Damn, Dabengwa out, and just as we were getting some momentum :(
ZCF Hall of Famer
we are well placed here at 166/3 after 32 overs

300 is on the cards nice to see waller getting a chance to play a significant innings
Waller looks like a classy player

30.4 Tikolo to Waller, FOUR, flighted on off and driven through covers beautifully on the ground

31.1 Varaiya to Waller, FOUR, flighted on off and that drive was timed well to beat the fielder at longon

batting powerplay on 44-49

waller gone for 63 great knock
Veteran
waller out, great innings
ZCF Hall of Famer
Waller gone, but still a good knock. His highest score in one-day matches. :)
ZCF OriginalLegend
Looks like one chance too many as Waller is out for a great maiden 50, great knock by him.

Chigumbura and Mutizwa now, about 6 an over needed to reach 300 again.
ZCF OriginalLegend
Sorry, make that 5 per over, our thanks should also go to the Kenyan chap Mr Wides who has a brilliant 22 not out :D
ZCF OriginalLegend
Mutizwa out now as well, 18 needed from 4 overs for the 300.

Give Chigumbura the strike .....
ZCF Hall of Famer
Err, what the hell is this:


45.1 Ongondo to Mutizwa, OUT, good length outside off and he cuts into the waiting hands of Kamande at point

F Mutizwa c Kamande b Ongondo 5 (4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 125.00

45.1 Ongondo to Mutizwa, 1 no ball, four fielders out of the 30 yard mark


And the free hit went... where?
ZCF Hall of Famer
free hits only for front foot no ball im afraid

boom boom gets going with a 4
ZCF Hall of Famer
I know, but I haven't seen a non-front-foot no ball for months. But then again, this is the Kenyan bowling attack :P
