Just when wes was looking to get a start....

[secretzimbo]

Jesus christ - thats the worst way to get out ever ffs. Didn't that happen in the Ireland series too?!?!?

Poor Wessly

Why is Williams not playing folks?

If Ballance gets out early it is a problem, very poor start but Sikki is still there and hopefully he can do something.

Terrible start really.

[Detective RDS]

As per the commentator, Sean Williams is unwell.

[secretzimbo]

Burl with aAwful awful shot form Burl ffs, going so so wide, why would you have a swipe at that at 60-4? Crazy.

[Detective RDS]

A very soft dismissal for Ryan Burl chasing a way offside delivery. Zim 5 down and are in real trouble. Century from Raza is required.

[Googly]

I thought that was unlucky. Short and wide and stayed low.
If you're not going to go for that then what are you going to go for?

That music they play can make you suicidal. It would be an effective riot control elsewhere.

[Detective RDS]

Who's the Englishman commentating? I recognise the voice

John Barran, Stanley Chioza and Tonotenda Mawayo are there from what I spotted.

[Googly]

The cricketing world knows to field first at HSC. They need to re-lay a couple of the decks and see how it goes. Anyone know what the win stats are on fielding first?

[sam_ahm]

On what basis has Madhevere got back into the side? Has he done something of note at domestic level or against the English county sides? If not then this is criminal.
