Awesome stuff from us, im proud of that victory. i just hope we can keep it up for game 2.

Winning a game should only be the beginning of something else. Now for the series!

That's entirely predictable - heaven forbid Zimbabwe should ever win anything through their own good efforts.
Hey world! Our bowlers rock!!

Indeed. No time for complacency. WI will be firing in the 2nd ODI, Zim must be able to match them. This will be a great series... :)

Anyone know who won MOTM? I assume Chanderpaul but Chigumbura could be an outside chance.

I see Cricinfo finally acknowledged Zim's performance. We await the second match which I am sure we will also win. Ray Mali was right after all!!!!!!People thought he was crazy. :D This team has the potential to go far, even in tests! I am sure you all agree with me. See you tommorrow guys> I am so happy.

If they hadn't put down some easy catches it would have turned from a comprehensive win to a thrashing. Should turn out to be a great series. :)
