It's our backyard. Toss hardly matters.

Ireland 5/1 according to CricketEurope. Their scorecard and commentary links are still pointing to the ICup match, though, so don't know the details...

...and now 5/2 after 1.5 overs.

H Masakadza, BRM Taylor, T Taibu†, V Sibanda, CR Ervine, CK Coventry, E Chigumbura*, AG Cremer, P Utseya, EC Rainsford, CB Mpofu

No Price or Lamb, but they have both had injury issues in the last month

Rainsford picks up the two early wickets

I am happy with team except Price's exclusion. 18/2 as per CricInfo. Well done Rainsford

Don't know what Vusi is doing in the team. Chamu Chibhabha would have been a much better bet, and he has a good record against South Africa, whom we play next
