Zimbabwe's bid to host the last tournament was third out of the three bids, but the ICC vetoed and gave it to them I doubt ZC were first to lobby for the tournament, they were last to announce they were successful :lol: Actually the 2018 tournament was supposed to be hosted by Bangladesh, but Bangl...

Umesh Yadav looks like he's changed his action a bit, very Waqar Younis now

He's always had kind of a Waqar-ish action. I didn't notice anything vastly different. But bowlers are constantly tweaking their actions. Taijul Islam bowls like Vettori now that he's our spin bowling coach.

Excellent day of Test cricket. Is there really no one else from ZC watching this match?

Kohli's run out potentially a game-changing thing cuz it certainly shaves 50-100 or even more runs off India's likely total. Middle order wobble happened right after Kohli got out.

ICC probably gave us this because we're the only safe bet to not qualify automatically and hence actually be in the qualifiers. For some unknown reason the ICC wants Zimbabwe to do well, they've given ZC more than enough chances and help, whilst ZC has given them more than enough reasons to kick th...

I'm sure all the matches will be televised. The ICC has been giving each progressive tournament better coverage. Even USA's WCL2 matches vs Nepal and Oman were broadcast earlier this year. Proper broadcast too if I recall it was on Willow I think.

The pitch seems a tad slow, with some tennis ball bounce. It doesn't look unplayable, but India going at just 1.5 an over so far!

As long as it doesnt rain, its great for cricket.

A little frost never hurt anyone - except perhaps some Asian teams

Good news for Zimbabwe, I would like to see Zimbos preparing some hard and bouncy wickets which will make it difficult for Asian teams like Afg, UAE, HK, etc. There is a chance may be one among SLN / BAN / WI will have to play the qualifiers and they will struggle under such conditions as well. If ...

Starts tonight US time. I'm quite excited as the last series Australia were missing Warner and Smith. Its really heating up between NZ and India as to wo qualifies for the WTC Final. Kohli will only be playing the first game as he will be on paternity leave. Massive blow for India with the Final pot...

Its going to be in June and July...whats the weather like in ZIM at that time? Would be a pity if it rains much.
