1st ODI Zimbabwe vs Ireland

[secretzimbo]

So good to see all of the big 4 contributing with the bat on the same day. Lovely stuff.


Hopefully the idiots behind last weeks selection/strategy debacle reap the consequences.

If our best players of spin were struggling against the spinners then it definitely isn't an easy track to bat on

This is brilliant stuff ...but ireland are a decent batting side they played well against southafrica in the ODIS ..it will majorly depend on stirling balbarnie and then tector .. porterfield is seriously out of form and should be taken quite easily in the beginning

Thanks

So the rumours of your death have been premature after all !?

Still alive Dogg, hopefully you weren’t too overwhelmed with concern due to my absence

Hey guys where have you been streaming the games from?

Whee the eff you been bro? Is everything alright? Please tell us the missus hates cricket and you've had to walk half a mile away to post on the thread

Hahah, well yes my missus hates cricket, but she also hates Rugby League, EPL and pretty much every other sport which has kept me preoccupied in the past few months.

I guess I probably just fell out of love with cricket lately, the Pakistan & Bd series were really deflating, but I’ve enjoyed this match so far. A good old school ODI pitch with something in it for everyone

Also excited to see how fast Blessing and Ngarava are. I got a feeling Ngarava might be slightly quicker

Muzarabani 133.9kmh
Ngarava 133 kmh

We suck at defending big scores. Without an early wicket of Stirling we could be struggling here

[jaybro]

I wouldn’t be wasting too much time with Ngarava here, get the spinners on early

Nice to see Ngarava hitting 140km

[Tinah09]

Ngarava has hit 140 km/h
