I really can't believe the playing 11 of Cricinfo. Cricbuzz shows that Mutizwa has replaced Sibanda, and Cremer and Taibu are playing. That is more believable. Very good selection.
That makes more sense. Maybe Cricinfo hired the writers from the Daily Nation, hence the confusion.

Now both Cricinfo and Cricbuzz have silently replaced Mutizwa with Sibanda. :evil:

Is anyone else a bit underwhelmed by this performance so far? First 10 overs or so were good, but the run rate is now under 5 (on track for ~230's), Masakadza getting out when set (he needed to make a century).

Granted we are playing better than we were against Bangladesh, but we need to score 300+ today. A "safe" score in the mid-200's proves nothing. We need a thumping win to earn some respect back after the shocking batting displays recently, and we will only score a thumping win by making a huge total.

Masakadza should have gone all the way to 100....lets hope Vusi plays a good innings, im worried about the run-rate now
12.4 Odhiambo to Vermeulen, FOUR, that's an appalling long hop, Vermulen had plenty of time to get into position, drink a cup of tea, and pull the ball towards the long leg boundary- his first boundary today

What kind of an innings was that from Matsikenyeri? Just blew away all the momentum we had. Stage was set for Williams to come at 3 and consolidate.
