Match Thread: 1st ODI Zimbabwe v Ireland 14th February 2025

How far back do we need to go for a 95 opening partnership

[Andy31]

Curran a bit Chibiha like
Decent against pace but gets bogged down with spin

[Dubois]

Is the pitch becoming two paced, looks like the ball is not really coming on

[Googly]

It's a bit deceptive, I think Bennett has made it look easier than it is.

We're in danger of losing a bit of momentum here because Ervine is a notoriously slow starter.

[Googly]

Madande in the change room
He surely has to earn the right to get back into this team.
We want a Zim team not a Wish XI

[Googly]

Is Jayden Schadendorf not around for FC cricket anymore by the way? He was in unreal form at the back end of last year during the NPL. Played a couple of franchise games and then just disappeared once again

Sacked for being white.

Why's Madande in the changing rooms? Honestly annoys me. I rate him but he has done nothing to warrant that ted carpet treatment. Has a long long way to go. Especially when there are others domestically who have scored heavily of late. Assuming after his big daddy double hundred, Alistair Frost is in there somewhere too?

Bennett on 98. Proper player

[sloandog]

I want Curran to be a top opener but something is telling me he's just not suited to it in this format
