Still off at the moment, I assume it would be 2pts each for an abandoned game, I also assume that Titans won't be best pleased with only 2 pts.

cricinfo is now showing the game as one of 39 overs, but they are also showing that it is still delayed due to rain.

If play does resume I would guess that Mr Duckworth and Mr Lewis will be getting their raincoats and wellingtons out of the cupboard.

Not related to this game, but I thought I'd let you know that SuperSport 2 are showing our match on the 19th against the Lions. TenSports will more than likely take the feed as they seem to taking all the SuperSport MTN series coverage, which is quite good because you access TenSports at any time here.

Sibanda and Masakadza are making a good effort to put some runs on the board.

The current score is 64-0 after 12 overs, Sibanda 38* Masakadza 22*, which means 50 in the 6 overs since the resumption.

Don't know how to feel about those two wickets. On one hand, letting an inexperienced batting allrounder dictate terms with the ball after such a great start is obviously terrible, but on the other hand, it could well be signs that the pitch is slow and/or turning, which is obviously good for Price and Cremer, if not Brent to some degree as well.

No, no, no, no, why is Williams in at number 3 ?

Taibu, Taylor, Chigumbura and Chakabva should all be in before him to keep the run rate going, he is a very good batting prospect but he is not a big hitter.

Now Masakadza is out as well and the score has gone from 107-0 after 18.1 to 114-2 after 22.1, only 7 from 24 balls :evil:

195/9, pretty bad seeing as we were 100/0 at one point. Again middle order woes have set us back, however hopefully our bowlers can sort something out and push for victory.

Worth noting that after Messrs Duckworth & Lewis have done their sums, Titans have a target of 199 (Zimbabwe's innings was cut short after it started, so there's a corresponding increase in the chasing target - assumption being that Zim may have scored at a faster rate if they knew from the start they only had 39 overs instead of 45).
