Series thread - MTN Domestic Championship

[maehara]

Commentary on this match has stopped at 25-1 on cricinfo. Is anyone else getting updates from another source?

SuperSport's website has dried up as well - must be problems at the ground...

I'd guess the match has gone off air, Cricinfo would be getting the commentary off TV.

The score seems to be back on cricinfo now, latest is a pretty slow 73-2 in the 21st.

Masakadza seemed to dry up and was out for 30 from 44 balls, Williams is 24* from 53, Taibu 11* from 18.

Williams is playing a blinder, What a rich vein of form he is in, i hope zimbabwe resume test cricket this may otherwise i fear a county side may make him an offer he cant refuse

Another narrow loss. Brent having a rare off day this time. These losses really hurt.

I would say Williams is not just about form. He has class. Remember that saying attributed to Steve Waugh? "Form is temporary, Class is permanent".

I am just hoping against all hopes that Sean Williams will stay on, Zim will get their test status back soon, and we will see the glorious career of the next Andy Flower of International Cricket.

Hopefully someone here can view it. Note, I think only South African users can watch it, but if someone can find a proxy server in South Africa...

other loss. not good. but muparwia 4 for is good.

Thing have really gone from bad to worse. At a time when Zimbabwe has to stake claim for a test return, the current list A results they are getting are not at all helping them. A 5-0 loss to Pakistan can be digested, since there were many decent individual performances put up, but losing 4 out of 5 games in the MTN challenge is just not on.

Williams is the only performing batsman, with Masakadza often showing signs of producing good scores. Price and Brent have been good with the ball. Utseya is easing back in after the injury layoff and Mupariwa has done well whenever he has played. Sibanda is woefully out of form and Taibu, Taylor and Chigumbura are struggling too. Dabengwa looks a better bet for producing a decent score compared to these three at the moment. And how did Chibhabha get a look in ahead of Chakabva on current form?

I loved the way Taibu fought it out with determination like a gladiator when Streak's rebels left abruptly, but now where has that quality gone? He must be scoring heavily against these sides, given his class. There are serious questions to be asked. The lads just lack confidence and its going downhill with every loss.

Had the team selectors gone mad yesterday??? Wat was the intension of making taibu open just after he scored a 50 in the last game.............And Sibanda in his place???Chibabhe into the team???/

It was hell out there............And it flopped like a deck as expected...........Taylor is an opener y dont give him a chance???/ Before yesterdays game, eventhough zim was losing, I thought that the team combinaation waas fine and they were heading in the right direction..................But,yesterday,shattered all hopes...Iam totally lost.........Congrats to the man who decided the batting order.......Infact,he was able to script a loss

Vusi has lost form and i think tjhey just wanted to play him down the order thats why they had to go with Taibu, Zim is loosing so many games and iits getting a bit worse..............lets hope they pick themselves up
