[Match Thread] Zim v IRL: ODI 3

[Googly]

His problem is 140 plus. Most people’s actually but a guy of his ability should play quicks better. These Irish seamers are just bowling line and length and keeping it tight, there’s no one threatening at all, same as their spin attack. They’re a more professional version of us is all.

Unlucky.

Absolutely, I've watched the last half hour and wondered why the heck we are seven down.

Time for Jarvis to entertain now

[Googly]

If Chris is 10 no 11 must hang his head in shame

[foreignfield]

Bobby and Larry sure take some beating as a 'batting' pair.

[Googly]

I hate to say this but we can defend this. Irish mojo is also brittle and this pitch is not easy.

This could be the last time we see this core group play together

Hamilton Masakadza - will probably stay or retire to a white-collar job
Ryan Burl - finds an English club or quits cricket altogether
Craig Ervine - England/Ireland club, maybe quits
Brendan Taylor - T20 mercenary, maybe a county if there's any takers
Sean Williams - will probably stay
Sikandar Raza - will probably stay, but play more Asian T20s
Solomon Mire - retires and settles in Australia for good
Richmond Mutumbami - will stay
Kyle Jarvis - retires to the private sector
Chris Mpofu - moves into a coaching role in Bulawayo
Tendai Chatara - finds a South African franchise

Interesting... What makes you suspect that, are you privacy to some insider knowledge perhaps?

Besides I thought these guys are getting well paid in forex by the ICC, why would anyone give that up if based in Zimbabwe?

[brmtaylor.com admin]

Nah, I'm just speculating on what the guys might do if the ICC money dries up.

You're right about the forex, but if there is no more money who would stick around?

[Googly]

Jeez our guys have bowled some loose deliveries.
