9 June 2010, Harare Sports Club



The big one - although in many ways Zimbabwe have already proven themselves this series. Here's hoping we win the toss..!

Zimbabwe should go into this match as favourites.

Agreed. I think the world of cricket will look upon Zimbabwean Cricket in a new way after this match, regardless of the result.
Younger players like Taylor, Mazakadza and Mpofu have come of age this tournament, and it's fantastic to see so many people watching.

Yeah Zim have done us proud and am happy for the boys I just hope the game is competitive regardless of the result. We are the true winners of this triangular regardless of the result!

I agree. Maybe this will mean that teams will now send "proper" teams to Zimbabwe?

They should do. I don't think New Zealand have the balls to visit us due to our destructive opening combination of Brendan Taylor and Hamilton Mazakadza

But on a more serious not, sides like Australia, England and New Zealand should send their full strength sides and just trust our nation again. Perhaps the door has been shut permanently for some sides, but hopefully not

Young??? Noooooo... They are the big boys now and right up there with the world's best. Whatever the result in the finals, they have done us proud with a consitant and well polished performance in this tournament hands down NO MORE SHOOK WINS but well earn victories.

Personally I'd like to see Sean Williams in the side. I don't know who'd drop out, but I want him in as he brings a lot of stability and class with him. Perhaps take Vusi Sibanda out of the squad and bring him in....

The only problem in this series was tht zim never played on weekends,if they would have i think we could have seen even larger crowds coming to watch zim doing so well.
