Wow! So nice to wake up to this news!

Well done Zimbabwe!

Great to see Madande and Bennett at one end of the spectrum and Ervine at the other all contributing

Here are the highlights.

Pretty good watch for the train ride to work.

That first six by Madande was incredible. Such fast hands. Shame he can't play spin.

[zimfan1]

Still can't hide the fact that it is too risky to play Jongwe as a 3rd quick.

Bennett at 3 Madande Balanced team selection can get results and this is a great example of that.

I must say that I always that Sean was a shinier bowler. He's ok, but doesn't have the guile I thought he'd have.

If you're not going to bowl Bennett then what's he doing in the team? He's not a T20 batsman...yet

Really ?

[eugene]

Great to see Zimbabwe winning one.

What a great day to be waking up. Have watched the highlights thrice since we won even after watching the entire game

I get the argument about Bennett being better in ODIs. You can actually see it but here is the problem. Can a 20 year old cricketer who doesn’t play for the big 3 get away with not playing T20s anymore?

We have a minimum of 8 T20s to be played by May. 10 max. Meaning he could potentially play 13 T20s in that period. We will only play 3 ODIs in the same period.

In the modern game the kids kind of have to play T20s

Bennett needs to bat at 3 in t20 and odi cricket
