[maehara]

Wicket: Utseya (c N O'Brien b Botha 14). Zimbabwe 153/6 after 32.5 overs.

Still on course to win this, but they're going to make us sweat again...

[maehara]

Wicket: Cremer (lbw b Dockrell 0). Zimbabwe 157/7 after 33.4 overs.

Oh dear.

[Train Driver]

I admire your confidence maehara

Not much left with only the tail to follow Chigumbura and Cremer ........

Forget that, Chigumbura and Mini Masakadza

88 still needed at 5.50, if i were a betting man ...........

[maehara]

Wicket: Chigumbura (c N O'Brien b Mooney 22). Zimbabwe 157/8 after 34.4 overs.

That'll be the win for Ireland, then...

[Train Driver]

Thank you and goodnight

157-8 with Masakadza, Rainsford and Nicolson left to score another 87 runs

[maehara]

Wicket: Rainsford (c Botha b Dockrell 6). Zimbabwe 164/9 after 37.5 overs.

That sound you hear is the fat lady about to burst into song.

Faith!!! Guys have done well - this lower order... Result won't be too bad!

[Dr_Situ(ZimFanatic)]

SSSIIIIIXXXXXX 29 needed

[Train Driver]

Well done to these two

If nothing else, i believe that they have now set a new 10th wicket ODI record for Zim, beating the 47 added by Henry Olonga and Doug Hondo against Pakistan in 2002

They'll both have something to smile about regardless of their bowling figures

[clikcspeed]

Ah Shingi missed out on a 50! Did well though, great 10th wicket partnership... Love you ZIMBABAWE, now and forever more...
