[Series Thread] Zimbabwe XI in Netherlands

[sloandog]

Excellent bowling from the boys. Would love to see how fast Rainsford is bowling, sounds like he's bowling with a bit of heat

[Lostart]

Got another one. Let's hope we can skittle them for under 100.

Have to admit i've no idea of the Intercontinental rules Crimson Avenger, i would guess that the follow-on would be more likely to be set at 150 runs rather than 200 though

The pressure still on the Dutch at 107-8, a couple more for Mr Magic Maruma would be most welcome

[eugene]

i hope we skittle the whole dutch team before they post a bigger score

Well done craig ervine and well done Matsi. I hope now Matsi will get some recognition for his talent.

I dont think a couple of good innings against the Netherlands will make up for years of mediocrity on Matsi's part. It is good to see him get some runs however.

The tail is wagging a bit, but it's good to see a positive and, dare I say it, professional, response to the ODI loss. Shout out to Mushangwe with his 2 wickets, nice to see a fruitful graduation . What's up with good Zim offspin bowling, what are we going to do with all of them (good problem to have)

On a different note, was Foster Mutizwa dropped?

Mushangwe is a leggie.

My bad bad, I followed a cricinfo article when the squad left home.

[Train Driver]

Ok, let's be calm about this

We ARE NOT going to throw 6 points away and let the Dutch get a 1st innings lead

There's nothing frustrating about letting 94-8 become 185-8

We shall remain calm



Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh

[Train Driver]

I should have written that earlier


Waller makes the breakthrough at last, 185-9, well done to Barresi on a career best 81

[Boundary]

112 first innings lead, 6 points in the bag. The question is how long do we bat, when do we declare?
