[Match Thread] New Zealand vs Zimbabwe

[maehara]

I will (hopefully!) be up and covering the match over on the Twitter feed - http://twitter.com/zimcricket - feel free to join me at Silly O'Clock for the action.

I'd leave the team unchanged. Coventry has to click eventually, and if he fires against New Zealand it'll make our job a whole lot easier. I genuinely think this is our to lose, and that our bowlers will once again do us proud - just up the the batsmen to stand up and show what they're capable of. And that's much harder to be confident of.

All the best to Zim. Pressure on both teams Zimbabwe wants to progress and NZ wants to progress and also does want to gain a 'minnow' tag due to recent form. I hope Taylor is in form today, If he has a good day im sure NZ will be in serious trouble. bowlers keep doing a good job.

My official stance for this game is to hope for a tie which keeps both teams alive with the possibility of both going through to the next round.

This IS the world cup for us. I nervous as if I am the one who is about to go out and bat

Zimboks.....


Prepare for war!!

[ZIMDOGGY]

Coventry out for a duck.


Gee I'm so surprised

[ZIMDOGGY]

Also should note that Williams is out and chucky boo is in......oh oh.




And mpofu is out, and tinashe is in.... That should make half this forum cream their pants but it makes me very nervous

Without Williams our batting looks very brittle. A middle order of Chigumbura, Chakabva, and Lamb doesn't fill me with confidence.

What's the point of being circumspect if you keep losing wickets?

[ZIMDOGGY]

Elton chigumbura no longer deserves to play in this team.
