The only way is up...
That said, I predicted 3-2 before the series began, so I'm still on course for a correct prediction...! :)

We would take an away series any way it comes. Lets hope the boys pull up thier socks and get back to business. After all you win some you lose some. Just dont lose all the time. For the third game I would give Jarvis, Coventry a rest. I hope Taibu will be fit for this game. We would gladly welcome Vermuelen back into the team.

ShareLets hope we win this one cuz if the Asians get the lead tomorrow then they might just win the remaining games, it will be a good psychological boost for them going into the forth game cuz they will take the first game as just a fluke. I have a feeling if we dont win this one we might just loose it 1-4 but if we win this the series is ours.

I think we should keep Jarvis in the side. He brings more to the bowling attack than Mpofu.

ShareI think its time give Mpofu a game...taking nothing away from Jarvis but he has been panned all over in the last game.

Yeah i'm sure he has, but Jarvis has more pace than Mpofu ( i know pace isnt everything ) but its sure bloody handy on these subcontinant pitches. Plus Jarvis is a better fielder

Sharei say jarvis should stay in,,, watchn the 2nd ODI you would thnk the msg 4m the bangladesh dressroom had been 2 go after jarvis at all costs, 2 either dampen his confidence or our confidence in him, and 4m the comments im readng it just mite hv worked. . . I go wit wat Campbell said b4 "it shud be hard 4 any1 2 just waltz into the team bt it should also be damn hard 4 u 2 get droppd. . .

Zim batting (Bangla won the toss), Mutizwa in for Taibu is the only change, according to Cricinfo. Hoping for a blessing in disguise as far as the change is concerned.

Back to the good old opening pair! Hoping for a solid start from them. Pitch seems to be a dry one. We might miss Utseya here.

seems to be putting more effort into his deliverys which is good to see and he is naturally bowling a full lenghth and using his short ball as a suprise delivery

Think this series has sealed the fate of Walter Chawaguta, bring on the Heath Streak led side which hopefully will play like little Streaks, full of pride and passion and most importantly learning to adapt to diffrent situations!!!!!!

I was thinking on these lines, but you never know, if the batsmen continue to show this kind of ineptness, then what can Streak do?
BTW, to keep myself in better spirits, this is what I did during the latter half of the Zim innings: http://zimcricketforums.com/viewtopic.p ... 079#p11472

i feel sorry for the bowlers as what can they do in this situation when defending 196 on a wicket that isnt offering any assistance.
As i write cremer gets one well done but the batsman need to learn there lessons or it may be time for a few changes in the sqaud for the next tour after the south africa series.

Jarvis chips in with two wickets at the end the second one a nice slower ball and hes improved from the last game and i think Cremer also bowled but Ashraful dented his figures at bit at the end but he did beat the batsmas a number of times and got good turn.
Was a little dissapointed in Price and Chigumbura, Price doesnt seem to be at his best so far in this series and when he isnt on song Zimbabwe dont usally win.

The decision to take the batting powerplay has backfired, third wicket to fall. An eventful over comes to an end, two wickets in the over.
35.6
Jarvis to Mahmudullah, OUT, slower delivery and Mahmudullah too early into the shot, lobs it up in the air to mid-off and Masakadza moves forward and takes the catch inches off the ground.
Mahmudullah c Masakadza b Jarvis 7 (19b 1x4 0x6) SR: 36.84
35.5
Jarvis to Mahmudullah, no run, short ball left alone through to the keeper.
Rahim is the new batsman but it will be Mahmudullah on strike as the batsman crossed.
Second wicket to fall in the batting powerplay.
35.4
Jarvis to Raqibul Hasan, OUT, short ball and pulled in the air to deep midwicket and Chibhabha running in from the deep takes the catch.
Raqibul Hasan c Chibhabha b Jarvis 21 (29b 1x4 1x6) SR: 72.41
Double strike for Jarv and his best bowling figures of 3/36. One more over to go. Can he take 5?
