[Match Thread] 1st ODI (South Africa v Zimbabwe)

Sean Williams looked pretty bad. One of the worst innings I have seen him play. Grant Flower didn't look particularly impressive either. Chibhabha didn't look that bad in comparison to what has followed after him.

@Eugene: Did you say the way Chibahba got out ?? It was a bouncer from Parnell that was unavoidable. If fingers should be used for pointing, point them at our Bowlers. They've failed again, Chibahba hasn't. Good to see Mazakadza and Taylor bat so well once again xD

Fair point about Chibhabha. Our bowlers have indeed failed. Although failed isn't the correct word really. Most of our bowlers just aren't that good.

Our Bowlers failed and our captain as well in descion making when wour spin bowlers were bowling well he didnt let them comntinue. Tibba should have comein after Chibhabha. And Grant flower well is Rusty...Thats the nicest thing I can say in his regards.

Flower looked dreadful didn't he

[eugene]

Flower might need to get some advice from the Zimbabwean batting coach - oh wait a minute...

[eugene]

Great century by Taylor.

Our bowlers are losing us matches and are going to continue doing so. I'm speechless about the batting, complaining at this stage is silly. I'm slightly concerned about the facing the very best attacks in the world like Steyn, and our wobble in the middle of the innings today, but overall we're shaping up nicely. Just sort out the bowling.

Chigumbura gone for 23. Taylor continues his onslaught
