[Series Thread] Zimbabwe A v Bangladesh A in Zimbabwe

[jimmylesaint]

Hmmm
Think we have this one in the bag. I'm told the wicket is cracked and rotten though so Ham and Moor got balls that bounced and rolled.
Can we be the first to win against the Bangladeshis???

Just seen the score this morning

Pass me the valium nurse

Think we have this one in the bag.

Famous last words prefacing a collapse that's epic even by our standard.

Can we be the first to win against the Bangladeshis???

Burl's still out there, I have faith.

I'd like to see him farm the strike a bit more though. He'll need to get about 55 of the remaining 70 odd.

I like Mushangwe's attitude with the bat. He's a pretty fearless and can hit. But I wouldn't back him to last the distance.

Reverse sweep, oh my gosh

I like Mushangwe's attitude with the bat. He's a pretty fearless and can hit. But I wouldn't back him to last the distance.

Yeah a bit of a dash here helps the cause immensely. But this is also why I'd like Burl to farm the strike more than he is. The more deliveries Mushangwe faces the sooner he'll get out. It's better for the team if he faces the occasional ball, hits the occasional boundary while Burl accumulates from the other end.

Nyauchi doesn't seem to offer much with the bat, so I'd say if we win we can't afford to lose another wicket. It has to be this partnership.

If Burl manages to pull this out the bag and win us the match hope he is rewarded. #fullnationalsidehonours

Cricinfo noting that only 15 minutes left to be played. Wondering why the limit - there's only 16 runs / 1 wicket left to go, why make time part of the equation now?? Desperation to make it a draw and make both sides unhappy??

[jimbo]

Nyauchi did his best. but like HHM would say it was up to the top order guys to deliver. Sibanda flopped yet again. credit to Burl he moor and Garwe had good games
