Well batted Madhevere. Great knock today, in tough conditions

Good cameo. Why I hate this concept of 'swinging.' Now we have 5 overs with Jongwe and Burl to rely on. :?

Anyone know whether Blessing and Sean are good for the next game? 250 is competitive I reckon

First game is never easy in Australia. Done far batter than I expected tbh. But yeah the approach is all wrong. Things to learn from
Granted it's always going to be tough, but you expect someone to realise the conditions and adjust to them, as opposed to just doing the same thing for the full 50 overs.

Yeah thats fair. But lots of better teams have struggled with that for the last few decades lol. Just lower expectations from me I guess

Green has bowled well. Understands the wicket and the batters

Zimbabwe really havent done that badly here. I'm honestly surprised we have made it to three figures. When was the last time we faced a full-strength big three power away from home?
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes

Evans cannot resist turning it off middle. Ball is holding up, zero idea

Yep. Zimbabwe just arent good enough to club it at the end. SHould just go for the singles. Try and get to 215 or something
