Odd that Cremer has bowled Williams more than himself
Also odd that Cremer lets Chisoro, Wellington, Nyumbu, and Raza open the bowling plus bowl more overs than him

The pitch has definitely eased out it would seem. Well played to the West indies.

Zimbabwe need to show fight with the bat like they did in SL.

Assuming a taget of 450, divided by 8 top order batsmen = 56.25 runs per batter.

If the 3 tailenders contribute 30 runs total (10 each) that is about 52 runs per top order batsman.

Yeah, they didn't score any off Regis, did they? He is obviously our most economical bowle... wait... Cricket.

Pariah has a real problem understanding how bowling works. For example his nonsensical method for evaluating all-rounders of subtracting runs conceded from runs scored without factoring wickets into the equation at all.

I meant William Mashinge, not Williams. Taps- why is he banned?
Banned? Got no idea..

There are 2 whole days left.. That's 220 runs a day.. I would have backed a better team to get those runs because it does look like an organized batsman could score big. Tino would have been useful in this situation but I guess anything is possible. Look at the way Sri Lanka won against us after we gave them all the time in the world.

Well with the guys at our disposal I think what we can hope for is for Mire to come out guns blazing and knock 60/70 runs off that total in quick time then the other guys can literally be as defensive as possible and still get us home
