[Match Thread] Zimbabwe vs South Africa, 2nd ODI

Get Jarvis and Chatara on, this is ridiculous.

Yea Jarvis needs to come back here. These two are starting to take the game away from us

8th wicket partnerships are historically bad for us

180+ and we've been batted out of the game.

WHere you guys watching this

Fox Cricket 501

I'm just as shocked as everyone else that Foxtel are broadcasting it.

They showed the tri-series and Pak series, so I'm hoping this means some deal has been struck where they show all our series, especially now with the dedicated cricket channel.

What this has shown is our lack of attacking change bowlers. Having Blessing would have been fantastic. In saying that, bowing the two spinners at the same time was a mistake. We've made this harder for ourselves now.

Think it's getting to that point where choosing sleep is better choice

I hope so. A 24 hr cricket channel means they'll be desperate for content.

Although the odds are they'll just play repeats of Cricket Legends instead of future Zim/BD/Afg/Ire games.

Should have bowled KJ out

Let it slip

we are probably out of it now. a 130 chase was doable. hard to see our guys managing this +

[Jemisi]

hope we can at least bowl them out

Yeah, they have a history of doing that. They do it with NRL having constant matches from the past. They are terrible at picking content.

Anyway, this looks like we've decided to let SA back in to the game and win it, so I'm off to bed. Going to regret staying up when I'm at uni tomorrow

This is depressing now

At least we know once the shine goes off the ball it becomes easier to bat.

Also they’re down a bowler so we should look to keep wickets in tack and attack their fifth bowler

74-75mph from chatara, length balls as well. Absolutely shit. Where's his pace gone
