[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v Kenya - 3rd ODI

[zimfan1]

Cremer gets one

he has come back well after his earler tonking, and fair play to Utseya for having confidence in him

Last Bat JK Kamande c Vermeulen b Cremer 5 (8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 62.50

Fall of wicket: 185/6 (38.5 ov); Partnership: 7 runs, 2.0 overs, RR: 3.50

this is a good test for our batsmen can they chase down over 280.

At the moment, I don't think Kenya are going to get anywhere near to 280. I'd say 240-ish, which should be a reasonably comfortable chase, Zimbabwe Collapse™ permitting...

And Kenya will be kicking themselves for losing their early advantage.

Good fightback indeed, 119-1 from the first 20 overs, 66-5 from the last 19 overs.

Cremer is recovering his figures now, i wonder if Chigumbura will be able to do the same

[maehara]

Cremer 8-0-52-1
Price 8-2-12-1
Utseya 8-2-21-0

Guess who wins the battle of the spinners today...

Nice come back by the Zim side after the Oduya/Obanda rocketing start. All the bowlers seem to be adding some respect to their figures. Price and Masakadza really lead from the front. Utseya being as tight as possible. Masakadza did well with great figures of 6-0-22-2 showing that he can do one or to things with the ball. I hope he would bowl more often on the domestic scene.

[Sir Mupariwa]

Final score is 266 all ot Zim yet to bat

[andy24]

do not no why chigumbura bowled the last over. price had one more left

[Train Driver]

What the hell is Utseya up to again, this man shouldn't be allowed to captain a school playground side let alone a national team

The 3 best bowlers by far all have overs outstanding while he brings back Chigumbura and Jarvis to get thrashed and give away wides and no balls like Santa Claus, it really isn't good enough.

119-1 from the first 20 overs, 66-5 from the next 19 and 81-3 from the last 11 to let the Kenyans back into the game.

What can i say, Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh

[Train Driver]

And Vermuelen has gone already ........

16-1 after 2.4 overs

[Sir Mupariwa]

Utseya is crazy, i dont even know why we have kept him this long Coventry's average is dropping slowly he needs to come up with something special today.
