Sounds like a good stats quiz question
I was hoping for an answer from you :)

It can definitely go there...

This has to be the best performance by Zimbabwe in edges. This is why we stick it out to support Zimbabwe. RAZA SIX!!!!!! to finish off things. Well played Team effort this.

This is definitely the greatest run chase in our history considering that we were away from home.. unbelievable stuff.. these are the kind of games whichever make me believe we will get it right one day.. add Taylor to this batting lineup and we will actually have a competitive batting unit.

I have always been a fan of Mire and like Black Mamba always points out the likes of Chamu haven't scored a century in over 100 games.. we needed him back. If only PJ Burl and Tari could step up the same way..

Our biggest challenge right now is our bowling unit..we only have 2 decent bowlers in the whole setup.. that needs to change

I'm not kidding I actually half picked this ore game.
Bit 317 but if we restricted them sub 300 I felt it.

We just needed the perfect storm.

Mire and Waller have shown form.
Williams just needed to be williams and two supported and we beat anyone

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the last time we had 2 century partnerships in ODI's was in the 2003 World Cup in vs Namibia. A game notable for other reasons, but Craig Wishart put on 101 with Mad Mark the the first wicket, and then a big century stand with Grant Flower who hit an aggressive 78 not not. Wishart finished up on 172 not out, as we racked up 340-2.

Fantastic victory today. My phone was down to 2% battery when we won......

Yes Robbo. Had it in my brain it had happened before. Mark got 39 or something up front.

A stunning win that I really didn't see coming. Let's hope we can maintain this form throughout the series. Perhaps I should threaten to ditch Zimbabwe more often?

We are in a difficult relationship. Everyone's love tank gets a little low sometimes.
