Zimbabwe v Sri Lanka - ODI Series

[CrimsonAvenger]

Was away from the scores as I was returning from work, expecting SL to be restricted to around 150. But 171 is a lot.

Rainsford bowled only 5. Looks like another miscalculation? I'm not sure.

Anyway, we are going pretty well as of now. Let's see.

good move to send taibu in at 3 against the spinners

Absolutely. Don't know who is doing all the thinking, but so far, most of the decisions have been spot on. Except the ones to begin the attack with Boom Boom and not completing Rainsford's quota.

If zimbabwe go on to win this match it will be in no small part to ed rainsford. He bowled a superb opening spell and beat the bat countless times. You can tell the sri lankans were unsettled by him. Should be a regular in the Zimbabwe squad ive always said that

[zimfan1]

great play by madakaska taking 8 of mendis

[CrimsonAvenger]

Its getting dangerous now. Taibu has been adventurous to say the least, but the runs haven't flown.

Tushara on. This must be our best chance. We must make th best of this over.

4 more by madakska come on zimbabwe come on

[CrimsonAvenger]

Disaster. HM Gone! Well played 77(71)

Bring Boom Boom on!

[CrimsonAvenger]

Last 3 overs will be spin for sure.

No boom from Boom Boom today - shame, on his usual form he could have finished this off quite easily. Going to be a close one - even if Zim lose, they've restored a lot of pride today.
