I’m really happy, was a great feeling watching the players lift the trophy.

Made me laugh when Raza legged it because of the alcohol going everywhere, they could have at least give him a couple of seconds to get out the way.

Great feeling this is, we don’t get this often :D

Credit to Dave Houghton as well, picked up a team in total shambles and what a turnaround it has been within weeks!!

Great job Zimbabwe :D
It is heartening to see so many people on the stands enthusiastically clapping.
I really hope this is first step of a turnaround bound for what Zimbabwe traditionally deserves.
Congratulations from your Italian fan!

Congratulations to zimbabwe and trust me they are in the easier group . No one will beat srilanka in the other group while westindies here are vulnerable on the other hand uae is better than the teams from Europe that is ire,Scot and neth while namibia is equally strong
UAE is better than Ireland?

Roelof van der merwe isnt playing for netherlands anymore? Or hes busy with county? He made a big difference for them back In the day. Had a look and yep van der merwe is playing for somerset. How many other dutch players are playing county atm? Im assuming they will play in the world cup which will strengthen their team. Van der merwe not playing is the equivalent of raza or williams if not more

Remember a few years ago we got beaten comprehensively in the netherlands. Of course we also deserve this win and are looking good. I look forward to the world cup.
Ackerman from Leicestershire. He gushes hot and cold, but when he's on he's a serious player. Had a brilliant back end to the Vitality Blast and has just had a 477 run partnership with Mulder (Ackers with 250), which I think is a 6th wicket all time County record.
I'm wondering if Netherlands will include Van and him because they would make a massive difference to their team.

I just looked that partnership up, second highest of any wicket. They were both not out as well. They should have pushed on because that would have been there forever.

I missed the game unfortunately, but just taken a look at the scorecard. Glad for Zim to win some silverware, but just putting it there that the Dutch gladly lost that game. You can't bowl 4 overs for 8 runs with 4 wickets in T20 :lol:

Just for clarity as there are lots of different articles on the group stages mixing them up

Zimbabwe have Scotland-Ireland and the West indies in Hobart in October?

Yes. I hope non of the games are rain affected as there can still be a bit around in october in aus. This is the very beggining of the cricket season in aus.

I’m not too worried, I think this total is defendable on this wicket.

Jongwe and the spinners will play a big part in the outcome, need another start performance from welly
Good call
