Head to Head for Zimbabwe v Ireland before this series stood like this:
Played: 10
Zim: 6
Ireland: 3
Tied: 1
We could see 6-6-1 by the end of this series :(. Or do we have it in us to make it 8-4-1?

Funny to listen to an Irish and American commentator at the same time. One is bad enough 😂
These Irish love their cricket, shines through their commentary, they’re building their cricket block by block.
They are very complimentary about a couple of our players as well, and seem to at least feign surprise that Ireland are doing well.
I was just going to say this isn’t a 30 off 20 wicket. His dashing nonsense has to stop man, we’re trying to win a game and don’t need these big shots.

That shot he played right there would get you dropped from a lot of teams.

This is a big test for Burl. This is make or break for us today and if he does well he’ll become a regular.

I’d keep the fielders really tight on him. He likes to nudge and noodle behind. C’mon Ryan, you’ve waited a long time for this very situation.

It’s amazing how often that short mid wicket comes into play. He smoked that, didn’t deserve to lose his wicket, was looking good and we’d have definitely won if he was there at the end. Anyway not over yet.

160/7. Mutumbami c Tucker b Getkate 2.
Hark, the sound of the fat lady warming up.

Burl is going to have to play a few shots, not high risk, but nudging it down to backward square for one at the beginning of each over is not going to get us over the line. We’re 80 behind and he seems happy to farm the strike out? He has to take responsibility.

Time to fire interim Zimbabwe Selectors.
Want ex players like Ray Price, Mangongo, Blignaut in new selection panel

He is damned good at that shot though, walks across and dinks it square. Irish are missing a trick by not plugging that hole.

I don’t know why they’re not bowling 3rd/4th stump at Burl. They’re feeding him.

The Don is very much an offside player, has had two 4 balls he’s missed out on by not driving straight. Anyway we’re still in it. If they hang in a few more overs this is going to get tight.

Aah he’s got a sweet cover drive, didn’t think he had it in his bag.

Ok he needs to play a couple of shots now, we don’t want ten off the last.

Plenty of nervous Ireland fans up on the balcony here. And about 3 nervous Zim fans at the ground...

229/8. Tiripano b Murtagh 33.
Bollocks.
Both swinging at anything for a few deliveries there, saw that coming.
