Best figures by eddy rainsford in an ODI. Well done to him

200 all out. We need just over 4.2 an over - it's doable. We need a killer instinct.

Some serious concerns over Chigumbura's bowling. He used to spear head the attack, but now he's seriously lagging behind. Well bowled Eddy Excellent 10 overs of fast bowling

The captaincy is too much for him I think. as an allrounder its too much of a burden to deal with the captaincy as well.

Chigs need to sort out his bowling, seems like Chibhabha is a better all rounder at present, i bet it's the captaincy, how fast were this guys bowling, anybody at the match
