[Series Thread] Zimbabwe XI in Netherlands

[Train Driver]

Top marks to Craig Ervine, a new career best score that's really got the side out of trouble today

Well dones also due to Stuart Matsikenyeri and Ed Rainsford for supporting him

Vusi Sibanda should take the opportunity to tap him up to join Rhinos for this season

133 and still going. Great job by Craig Ervine. This muppet should help stabilise our middle order once we return to tests. He seems to display the ability to bat for extended periods, something we are sorely lacking at the moment.

This is a good chance to see what Regis Chakabva has to offer. He seemed to be on the verge of getting a shot for the national side and then fell off the radar a bit. How do people rate his batting - I don't know enough about him to form an opinion.

He’s exciting, has the most unorthodox shots but still pleasing to the eye. In a limited over match, match he is the one person who you bet on to outscore Elton Chigumbura in strike rate. Never gets bogged down. However he suffers from a lack of defensive technique

Kermit... err, Craig Ervine out for 145. Impressive, and saved our first innings from disaster.

Great innings by Craig Ervine. Without him this match would be in toilet already.

[maehara]

Three wickets gone in less than two overs. ::sigh::
