oh dear 189/8

Just wait to see how Sri Lanka get on before we judge. It may be bad wicket.

Or just poor batting...

How much is "death by spin" worth in terms of setting a target, I wonder? 250 seems to be the target for HSC, but we know that out spinners - and Mpofu, judging by the spell he produced last time out - can choke the opposition and cut off the runs quite effectively. Does that mean that 200 will be "good enough" for us, if the bowlers perform?

...and as I type that, Mpofu's out and Zim close on 199. Sri Lanka require 200 to win.

Sri Lanka need 200 to win. I can't see us defending it successfully. On the bright side we didn't collapse en masse after the slow start

Ya I agree, though we had a good opportunity to capitalise on the work that Greg Lamb and Tatenda Taibu made.

Lets hope we can defend this score and win the final. It'd be a fairytale ending

4 runs through mid wicket. Not a good start from Mpofu. Looks quick from where I'm sitting

[sloandog]

Up in the air but Taibu couldn't get to it. Good short ball from Chris

4. Poor start, why is Elton opening ??
