Taibu is playing one shot. Reverse sweep. He has managed to handle the spin that way, but not scoring at the rate you would need at the moment...

21 required off 12, which is probably too much now - where's Taylor when you need him... :(

..or maybe not. 6 & 4 from Stuey, and suddenly it's 10 off 10... ::cross fingers::

Damn it. This is bad for my nerves. Need Matsikenyeri back on strike, 10 off 7 required.

...and 6 required off the final ball. Deja vu.

Not today, unfortunately, but that was at least a fighting performance that would have had the Sri Lankans worried. Can't help but think we should have won it, though...

Why did mupariwa come out to bat early. Did utseya bottle a fight? I thought that our captain fantastic bats higher than him :?

We should have won it, and we should have bowled after winning the toss all the time. That's our strength, and it has been proved again today.

Masakadza has pretty much filled Taylor's shoes in recent times, but could not pull the win off today.

What a memorable game of cricket. Masakadza was excellent, really struck the ball powerfully. Sadly his wicket was the turning point. He shouldn't have gone for another huge shot, but waited for the powerplay instead. Honourable mentions to Sibanda, Taibu & Matsikenyeri. Sadly didn't have enough in the end, would have been pleasing to respond to the fierce criticism with a victory.
