[Match Thread] Ireland v Zimbabwe (World Cup Warm-Up)

Ireland v Zimbabwe
Nagpur, 15 February 2011

Zimbabwe were hammered by South Africa in their last warm-up match; Ireland lost to New Zealand by 32 runs, and by all accounts made the Black Caps work for their win. On the other hand, Zimbabwe hammered Ireland in Dubai last week. Will be interesting to see how this one plays out.

i totaly disagree with you, Raza had a good 20/20 tourney but he hasnt been doing well in the pro40s. Rushing him into the national side on the bases of a few knocks may destroy his carier. We have a lot of openers who can come into the team ahead of Raza, Mawoyo, Duffin, Vusi have been consistent openers.

Our loss against S.A was expected, they have a mental edge against us and they have very good player. When we play Ireland 2moro its going to be a different game altogether.

It will be a very tough game. Zimbabwe should have a slight edge by having quality spinners. But, if Ireland can showcase the same display as they have shown against NZ, then it will be a very difficult match for either side. Good luck Zimbabwe.

We need to take care of the top 3 batsmen from Ireland then we sorted. ÑZ dont have three top class spinners thats why IRE wont repeat what they did to NZ that maybe the closest they will come to winning and scoring such a big total. I think the associates will struggle in this WC cause of pitches and spin. If we lose tomorrow it will because of zim throwing it away.

Can't believe. 13/3. Well, sleeping is much better than this. Going to bed folks. Playing Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet on my stereo (valentine day celebration....)

Cricinfo says we S Ervine still to bat have i missd something or is this a typo as is usual with cricinfo.
Yep our batsmen are 'batting for the other team' they not giving our bowlers any help.

Syedmham - Dire Straits

these are dire straits that we find ourselves in right now. We need 'The Sultans of Swing' to back up our Sultans of spin to get out of this one or some really good batting from low order. The thinking behind batting first is the best cos that is where need more practice.

[clikcspeed]

We will still win! This is Zimbabwe we are talking about, Ireland don't frighten us 1 bit! Utseya reliable as ever, Chigs getting back, we should get 200+
