I seem to see on BBC "Zimbabwe won the toss and decided to bat", any further comment required?

Re: [Match Thread] Zim v IRL: ODI 3
These English/Irish decks are tough. You bowl length on stumps or just outside and the ball isn’t coming on it’s unbelievably difficult. You just have to wait for a bad ball and play in the V until the ball is a bit older and your eye is in. All the guys who’ve gotten out should know this. It can take 15-20 overs sometimes before ball stops dominating bat. We’re in Greenwash territory, game is almost over before it’s started.

Ya I agree, it’s often better to field first on these decks. Funnily enough our Zim pitches often have movement in the morning and it becomes a flattie after lunch.
These English batters often just put away the drive when it’s like this, it becomes a really low percentage shot. You have to be ruthless with yourself, never mind BT trying a pick up on a length on middle. That was a shot of a guy who’s nerves are shattered.

Williams is a bloody good batsman, complete basket case but he’s damned good.
Re: [Match Thread] Zim v IRL: ODI 3
That cover drive for Zip was text book. Serious player.
Re: [Match Thread] Zim v IRL: ODI 3
Hammy lucky to get away with that. Hit it straight ffs, how long u been playing cricket? He falls over a bit as well, and gets a bit bottom handed without enough weight transfer.
Re: [Match Thread] Zim v IRL: ODI 3
Hamilton always tries to hit his way out of trouble. Firstly his rotation is shit so he gets bogged down then he goes for a heave, he does it too often and does not do his immense talent justice, he’s still a good player, I don’t care what anyone says.

There you go. Not there for that shot.

Sorry man am bored. If Raza thinks he’s going at 200% he ain’t lasting either.
Re: [Match Thread] Zim v IRL: ODI 3
If Raza hits one in the air before they’ve got a 100 partnership he’s not serious. There’s another brilliant drive from Sean for no return.
