1st ODI Zimbabwe vs Ireland

[Tinah09]

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

Let the seamers see out the powerplay, then spin for the next 30 or so overs

[secretzimbo]

Ngarava & Blessing seem to average similar speeds so far but looks like Ngarava has a quicker effort ball over 140.

Blessing showing his class here, giving Stirling all sorts of issues here

excellent bowling so far. unlucky not to have a wicket

[secretzimbo]

Commentators lamenting Ireland's lack of Test fixtures also saying 'Zimbabwe also aren't playing any tests these days'. Erm we've played 5 in the last 5-6 months.

richard really is unlucky to have a bowling average of 50 lol

[secretzimbo]

Pretty good start from Blessing & Richard.

I'd bring Jongwe on for a couple of overs now - he makes stuff happen. Get a wicket. Then turn the screw with 30 overs of spin.

[CholeZimbo]

Welly overdressed as usual

[zimlover]

Blessings looking very strong and putting on a lot of muscle.He is only going to get bigger.

Ngarava starting to look like Tsotsobe even the delivery of the ball is similar, let’s hope he get more wickets like Tsotsobe

[ZIMDOGGY]

200 plus runs from the fab four and raza not out too .

Don't try and reinvent the wheel Selectors unless you have a nicky welch at your disposal

is nick welch really that good? He doesnt play first xi for his county team

He is somewhere between Raza and Ervine in batting.
He should be playing firsts, he’s injured but was dominating seconds. He will be in firsts soon bevause the guys failing ahead of him will have the red line drawn through their names unless they turn it round ASAP. Maybe one will but not all.
