Both Cremer and Utseya have gone for few in their last overs, but it's too late to help the Kenyans, I suspect.

Mutizwa I think has secured his place in the side for a while, especially if Taibu's gone AWOL. He's certainly made the most of his chance to impress...

40.1 Cremer to Bhudia, OUT, he is out-done by a beauty of a delivery that spun a lot to take off stump
RL Bhudia b Cremer 8 (8b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
Another one to Cremer, who has now taken 11 wickets for the series. :W: :W: :W: :D

Chigumbura, Utseya, Mutizwa and Cremer have been absolutely outstanding in this series, with remarkable contributions in every single match. With one match to go, it is going to get really difficult to pick a player of the series (or even 3 out of these 4 + Masakadza).

brmtaylor.com admin, do you have any plans of extending the limit of voting from 3 to 5? ;)

By the way, Pricey and Mpofu haven't done much wrong either...

He's been more expensive than usual, 6 wickets at 26.16 at 4.64 runs an over.

It's still a good return, our second leading wicket taker behind Cremer. I guess it's just unlucky for him that at times he has been brought on when the Kenyans have nothing to lose, so they throw their bat at everything.

It seems that i've missed rather a lot of the action today :roll:

I guess from the scoreboard that you guys must have been a little concerned when Waller was out, it just shows that if you can get a minimum of 4 batsmen firing at the same time you must be odds on to win. The batting hat seems to have had a couple more rabbits pulled out of it today, well done to Utseya and Mutizwa, again, for taking the pressure and seeing the side to a good total.

Cremer seems to like this ODI stuff and Chigumbura seems pretty keen as well although our Pricey appears to be getting some stick for once, looks like a really good effort from Obanda though.

4-0 so far, can't complain about that :D

And then denied, courtesy of Chigumbura's 4th wicket. 4/28 is Chigumbura's best bowling performance in an ODI. So a 67 run win to Zimbabwe, and once again the top performers were Utseya, Chigumbura, Cremer and Mutizwa.

This ZCF player of the series poll will be very difficult, they are all so deserving.
