The ICC commentator working the Kenya v. Nigeria match appears not to be aware that NRR will determine which team makes the semis if Kenya win. He is so shocked at how Kenya are rushng the chase
Its one of our own, i think Darlington is his name! Am really shocked he is saying that, i really thought they still have a chance with NRR! How does the table look like right now? I cant find it anywhere online!

They actually qualified because of their great NRR in this game, baffles me that the commentator was not aware of that!

Something wrong with the picture of ex players who couldn't make a living at cricket now living infinitely larger than existing cricketers they're commentating on. Somehow in this environment you only get to make a decent living after you finish cricket.

At the end of the day it all boils down to this one game. Surely there is now way Zimbabwe is going to f#$@ this up.

There will be a little collapse and a wobble at some point for sure :lol: :lol:

Old raz definitely will be feeling the pressure, he’s been here and failed thrice before :lol: it’s got to affect even the most hardened soul.

If we lose to this Kenya side i really do not know anymore! They lost to Malawi a few days ago! They had the worst preparation anyone could have, board is double as corrupt as Zim and i really do not see us chocking this! We are masters of chocking though so lets hope everyone brings their A game

I’m not saying we’ll lose :lol:

The pressure will play its part though. I don’t think it will be a 200/4 innings if we bat first.
