T20 World Cup - Zimbabwe v Ireland Match Thread (October 17th)

Loving the uncles singing in the crowd.

We could play in Antartica and probably 50 Zimbos would still turn up

Frikken hell Craig. Completely unnecessary. I get that Dave is all about playing shots, but we need to be smart too. We just lost a wicket. He didn't need to charge down. Just needed to build the innings.

I know it's early, but I reckon we are done.

I think the ZIM quicks will get a lot more bounce even if they aren't much quicker. Ireland will have to keep ZIM to 140 to have any realistic chance. Also seems very hard to chase here so far.

IRE messed up with the toss IMO. Should have batted first and looked to post 140-150.

I don't think more bounce is that beneficial. You need the right level. More bounce can run away further with a top edge.

I'm not sure 140 is as high as you reckon.

Looks like Raza has been practicing hard since that Australia tour. Looking good again
