somebody tell me, what is Matsikenyeri doing in this squad. Hope he proves me wrong today
12.4 Odhiambo to Vermeulen, FOUR, that's an appalling long hop, Vermulen had plenty of time to get into position, drink a cup of tea, and pull the ball towards the long leg boundary- his first boundary today

Sibanda out, again, after a good start. Dabengwa in at 4. This could be a very crucial knock for himself, and for the team.

BTW, there is a new question at Zimbabwe Cricket Photo Quiz thread :)

Ah well, it didn't take me long to mess things up, i have a look at the score on cricinfo and Sibanda is out :(

Dabengwa in at number 4, after all that we have said about him it would be 'interesting' to try him higher up the order or as an opener to see if he could do a job, if he is going to be a regular in the side then he should work for his money.

Not really sure what to say about Williams, if the latest story is true, is it him or is he being 'advised' by someone ?, whatever is happening he can't keep bouncing around like this.

Looks as though the scoring rate is too low again, it needs to be pushed along in these middle overs as we can't expect Chigumbura to bat like he did on tuesday in every game.

I'm worried the scorecard might be wrong:
14.5 Odhiambo to Matsikenyeri, no run, full on middle and defended just beside the bowler and they run a quick single
14.6 Odhiambo to Matsikenyeri, no run, full on leg and defended on the front foot and that's drinks
And Sibanda faced the first ball of the next over. If the single was taken, that means Sibanda is still batting and Matsikenyeri is out.

Waller looks like a classy player

30.4 Tikolo to Waller, FOUR, flighted on off and driven through covers beautifully on the ground

31.1 Varaiya to Waller, FOUR, flighted on off and that drive was timed well to beat the fielder at longon
12.4 Odhiambo to Vermeulen, FOUR, that's an appalling long hop, Vermulen had plenty of time to get into position, drink a cup of tea, and pull the ball towards the long leg boundary- his first boundary today
