Evening, chaps...or should I say evening Masochists anonymous of Zimbabwe? My name is Ming and my eyes are bleeding, but still I remain in front of the screen.

Clap, clap, clap. [all together] 'Welcome Ming, we will listen to you and support you without judgement'.

Waller looks out of form right now

I would not say out of form, rather in no man's land, does not know if he should go after the bowling or just knock it around.

I dont blame the batsman for this performance at all, the bowling was woefull.

LIAM BRICKHILL - We're hearing from Alistair Campbell on commentary that the Zimbabwe Cricket board was meeting today to decide upon the position of new coach, with Streak, Flower, Mangongo and Andy Waller in the running. So expect an announcement soon. My money's on Mangongo.

Whose your money on? GF definitely out of the picture, Mongongo yeah and Waller who seems to come from nowhere, is the compromise common ground. But judging by the storm and political climate Mangongo will probably get it.

He looks every bit the batsman who has scored 60-odd runs in this form of the game all season at 12.8.

Well I was about to say that Ervine looks good but needs to make sure he pushed on for once and not get out in the 40s. Was trying not jinx him, but there you go ...
