Zhuwawo? Why!? Earth calling Prosper... we have better bowlers than this...

*sigh*

This is where Zimbabwe lacks the killer instinct. Now Zhuwawo is having a bowl... Utseya should have given the ball to Chigumbura at least (if not Mpofu as well). To bowl them all out quickly will kill Ireland's confidence, by allowing them to get a partnership going Ireland are going to find positives out of the match.

I was thinking more ::headdesk:: myself.

And then this happened:
DT Johnston c Price b Dabengwa 12

::walks off whistling::

Geez, Prosper's having a bit of luck today. Imagine if he'd tried the unconventional opening with spin or the Dabengwa/Zhuwawo experiment against any other team...

dabengwa wicket, we must be winning . And on that note im off. Lets hope they finish the game off well

Which is a problem. I don't think we want him trying the unconventional approach against stronger teams...

KJ O'Brien c wicketkeeperTaibu b Dabengwa 38
I don't believe it.

I think Alistair Campbell planted the seed... in one of the after match interviews and during the commentaries in Canada, he kept commenting on what a good move it was to open the bowling with spin. Hopefully Utseya doesn't see this as justification to do it forever now. Great to trick the opposition occasionally in a Twenty20 or low scoring ODI as I said earlier, but the fast bowlers opening is a tried and true strategy. One just has to look at our T20 win against Australia as to why.

Gee we are a cynical bunch aren't we, even when we hammer the opposition we still find fundamental problems in the gameplan

It looks like Dabengwa has secured his spot for the series now...

This glass is half-empty..

I guess our belief took a knock after the Uganda and Canada "incidents"
