YES JARVO!

Well done Shingrai Mazakadza, and well done Zimbabwe. Really showed a lot of fight in the game so far. Hopefully our batters can do their job

time for the batsman to support the bowlers

The emergence of masakadza as a one day bowler is great if he keeps it up, he was bowling at a lively pace and also he can hold a bat, need allrounders in the modern age. Well done on your four wicket haul shingi!!!! Prove the doubters wrong

Not a bad bowling performance in the end. I would hope this is reachable for our batsman. Surely Shingi and Meth can provide a bit down the order.

Come on boys, ease some of our pain....give us a victory straight up...a competitive score wont even do it for me...we NEED TO WIN THIS!

Good job restricting this explosive NZ team to under 250. Jarvis takes 2 for 41 from 9, good to see him getting some from in the ODI format.

Don't agree with this chakabva selection.
He's little and doesn't score quick. He's a test player. I'd rather foster in this format.

Test form and odi form is different - I believe Ewing should b here

i am very curious to see who opens (it'll be Matsi with Hammie? )... but the bowlers have done well enough!
