300 would be rather nice but that means just over 9 per over for the remaining 16 overs, has anyone got a mobile number for Chigumbura ? just to text him and let him know what we want him to do ;)

i think we can get 280 or more, these two can be explosive but of course Chigs is the best....cant wait to see Mutizwa play cuz he destroyed Kenya in the previous series especially in the power play overs
12.4 Odhiambo to Vermeulen, FOUR, that's an appalling long hop, Vermulen had plenty of time to get into position, drink a cup of tea, and pull the ball towards the long leg boundary- his first boundary today

Not looking so good from a batting point of view at this time.

209-7 from 46 overs now with just Cremer, Price and Jarvis to help Matsikenyeri through to the end, even 250 is looking a long way away. Hopefully our 3 spinners will be able to get even more out of the wicket than the Kenyans have, that should get us through to a win, i hope .......

66666666 by Matsikenyeri to bring up his 50 a few more of those please :D

and two 4's by Cremer who is showing that he can hold his own with the bat at international level for the first time, 250 is possible here

anything less than 250 will test the bowlers big time taday...nice to see Craemer getting sum runs

263/7 top effort by cremer and matsikenyeri who hit last two balls for 6 and 4, they put on 65 runs, 5.5 overs, RR: 11.14. Nice to see Matsikenyeri continue his good domestic form, there is real fight for places now which hopefully will encourge him to work hard on his game. Good to see Cremergetting a chance with bat as he allways seems to be shoved down the order below price which baffels me as cremer plays like a proper batsman where price is a bit of a sloggar.

263/7 after 50 Overs. Great knock from Cremer (31) but lets not forget Matsikinyere (71) which just shows that the domestic form really counts for something. Least I talk about Timycen Maruma. Great to see Hamilton Masakadza being a bit more consistant. His been playing the game for a while now and its high time he started doing more for his team.

I guess now we really get to see what the spinning trio is really worth!!!!!!!!
