Series thread - MTN Domestic Championship

That's Sean WIlliams' maiden List A century. Shame the total score isn't going to be enough to defend, I think...

[Train Driver]

Well done to Sean Williams, now if he plays like this on a regular basis and 2 or 3 other batsman can throw the bat ........

[maehara]

...and that's it for Zimbabwe. 218/7 (45 overs; Williams 102, Telemachus 2/39). Eagles require 219 at 4.87/over, which unless Zim can somehow manage to get some early wickets (unlikely with this attack), shouldn't be too hard for them...

Get rainsford back...He adds more to the team in general than say mpofu

[zimdan]

Since when, Rainsford lacks pace. mpofu also lacks pace but his height puts him in front of rainsford in my opinion.

[jimbo]

I'd say rainsford was pretty pacy when i saw the televised series of zimbabwe vs west indies 2006....He got gayle sarwan and co hoppin around and got a few wickets too

[maehara]

For all that Williams took a wicket in his first innings - why in hell are he and Taibu bowling?! You can just hear Eagles saying "thank-you" for the 9+/over rates... Do they not want to win the match or something?!

[maehara]

Eagles get a win they really didn't deserve.

Looking at the scorecard, Mpofu appears to have been injured so they've had to draft someone else in to cover, but:
T Taibu (ob) 2.4 0 29 0 10.87
..those figures are a joke at this level. Zimbabwe had this match all but sewn up, and they've gone and handed it to Eagles on a plate. Chigumbura and Cremer both had overs to spare - they're experienced bowlers, why give the ball to the wicketkeeper?! He's a club cricket bowler, not a List A one...

Speechless. Just speechless.

[Train Driver]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh

Good effort from Ray Price, Gary Brent, Elton Chigumbura and Graeme Cremer, before his last couple of overs got caned, with the ball.

I think maehara has the right idea otherwise, speechless .......

My guess is he bowled the 4 balls of Mpofu's over, did alright, got another over, did alright, and got smashed for about 20 from his final over.
