Opening post

Vindicated with the Waller inclusion. I like the look of this middle order...
Veteran
Half century from Captain fantastic ....... truly leading the troops from the front .

Waller for Chibhabha's spot ........Waller providing good company for the skipper
Good stuff from the guys
Its been such a long time since my last post I even forgot my name. Anyway I am sure Malcolm and the Cap will take uus to 274 then we win the game.
Veteran
The Captain should take the power play now .......and hope for another run fest as in the last game .
Veteran
Good knock from Waller would have been nice to go through but good contribution Elton owes us one...
Veteran
Good innings from Waaller, but poor shot to get out. One thing about him though, he plays for the team and rarely for himself.

But now Elton has to rebuild again and take it to the 45th over first before he attempts the big hits, and he's not always best at that :(
Veteran
Elton - Another opportunity has been presented to you . Please be sensible like Waller and use it .

If you fail this time , it will cement the notion that you are now being picked as a specialist bowler.

Juss give the skipper company .... rotate the strike and when you are in go for it ....
Veteran
taylor for another century! I'm enjoying his innings. I don't think Elton should try to settle, he should get a move on, and Meth should hit the grouund running if need be. We're playing for a win not respectability!

Yeah, good innings by Waller. He looked in really good touch before he got out. I agree with your assessment Conant; a very good team player.

If Zim turn to someone like Raza I can bet you Lamb & Dabengwa will be in the mix for ODIs as well. All of this could've easily been avoided. Initially, with a team of say Duffin, Taylor, Hamilton, Vusi, Matsi, Taibu, Ewing, Elton, Price, Rainsford, Mpofu you're starting with mature experienced guys, etc, etc


Besides Taylor, Zimbabwe's leading run-scorers in this series so far are the so called inexperienced players Mutizwa and Waller :)
Veteran
anyone know if it has ever happened where a zim batsman has got back to back international hundreds in a series or tournament . I have a feeling our Captain is in the mood for another 100 and even when we loose he should get the MOTM award .

From what I can see, this is the first time since 27 May 2004 that Taylor's ODI average has exceeded 34. Back then after a good 74 against Australia, his ODI average was 34.57. It's 34.07 right now. :)
I'm watching the game in a Bar and the guys here are 101% behind Taylor...they are even considering that he should be given 2 wives. Go Taylor
Veteran
Foreseeing a very painful next four overs ahead. Taylor in sight of his hundred so he's going to slow down. That's in contrast with Malcom Waller's attitude.

And Chigumbura playing for his place.

I wish they could get a move on.

:4: for Taylor

Moves on to 89.
Veteran
Dejavu...we are going nicely in comes Elty and everything grinds to a halt...I do feel for him but maybe time for a rest...
Veteran
Chiggs out...... if he continues being picked then it confirms that he is being picked for his rather semi economical wicketless bowling .
I think the selectors should drop Chigumbura at least fo the thrid ODI.
Veteran
if waller was still at the crease 270 was an option now im kinda not sure . Hope Meth comes in ahead of Pro and see if he can out do Chigs
I am failing to watch online. Anybody got a link?
