3rd ODI: Zimbabwe vs Ireland

[CholeZimbo]

Massive defeat coming up

Partly blaming BTs timing of the retirement ahead of a crucial game.

[Yvmnaidu]

fear, tempermant and test type players coming from Zimbabwe.

Ireland even have an extra batsman today. It will take a serious effort to mess this chase up. Only the rain can stop them

[TapsC2]

With BT gone I wonder who the next opener will be. This coming domestic season will be an interesting one. Especially if Williams walks away too. 2 massive contracts gone. There will be space to sign up 2 or 3 of the guys on decent contracts. If not even 4 with BT gone. If I was PJ I would thinking I can get in the team here. Murray too

Get PJ and Murray in the system and I will be happy

4 dayers are now least valuable for Zimbabwe. Domestic season should be arranged of high number of shorter format games

Getting completely bowled out in a rain shortened match is the most criminal thing to do. As soon as we were 7 down or something, we should have tried doing what the last pair did and batted out the overs. Would have resulted in at least a few bonus runs on top of what we had scored. Our guys seem to keep their brains at their hotel rooms when they play DLS curtailed games, by the looks of it.

True. Just buy time. You never with the rain. Those extra 5 overs could mean a lot

Rain again ..chase delayed

[CholeZimbo]

Argh, let it wash off.

[tej_27]

They will need 125 runs in 35 overs..chase to begin in 5 minutes
