It's unlikely. Valente has taken the match away from us. Can't see us chasing down anything over 200 runs, against Australia's bowlers. :(

Yep, batting is the problem for our boys. Bowlers did well, though.

Dare I say it, we could actually win this. If Burl is there at the end, we should win the match. ;)

Even though it is only a warm up game it should give the boys a lot of confidence going into the tournament games. Well done

It's only a warm-up, but hey, we've won a cricket match! :D

Burl has class, no doubt about that. Shame that he'll probably end up with a County contract rather than play for whatever will be left after the current administration has finally done with the corpse of Zimbabwean cricket. :(

To be realistic, we wouldn't bat as deep (Lake at 8) in a real match.

But it's not often we beat Australia in any form of cricket. Well, done boys!
