[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v West Indies HSC

[Googly]

Ok so the ICC bring their own groundsman! Didn’t know that.

[Lostart]

Sheesh that kills the home ground advantage.

I think that’s our groundsman sitting next to him. I guess he gets info from him, all clay is different, how much water it needs, grass cover etc. But as a fact they’ve prepared this pitch for the West Indies, there’s absolutely no escaping that.

[Lostart]

Definitely not a pitch Zim would have chosen for today.

[Googly]

So ICC need to be investigated. Panicking because WI looking shaky and questions will be asked if they don’t make it. Full of shit in my opinion

Well I imagine that since all the debate in these parts is whether Mire should open or come down late in the innings, that he will assume the number 7 position and come in late in the innings to hit. He’s lost in the middle overs.

I hope there’s not enough water under there and it breaks up and it turns square. Needs to happen now.

I agree.

But in other news, I'm feeling pretty optimistic here at the moment. 111-3 and the wicket looks good...perhaps a little too good? Having said that, I think we should show our boys some respect and some faith. The bowling has been nothing short of a revelation these past few weeks and I don't see why it has to stop now. If we get a score on the board, ideally around 250, we have a very strong chance. It's just the Lewis/Gayle factor which we need to be wary of, hence why I would open with the bean pole and KJ. But if saw Chisoro with the new ball I wouldn't be annoyed, he's been fantastic and very 'in your face'.

BT getting too cute. Calm down son!

Honestly what would we do without Taylor ? He’s a world class bat and has been worth every penny and proved why this tournament . I don’t mind mire coming in later and still have raza to come , williams is far playing his role perfectly. Come on boys
