Its 1245am in QLD Aus now but I have to see us win this game, I hope!

its not too bad, been a few showers today but just partly cloudy now.

This time of year is hit and miss for rain, the games should all go ahead ok i would have thought.

That's good to hear. Thankfully Harare hasn't had any rain today, I guess that is the main thing!

I am sure we might win this game.

Yes it always feels that way when supporting Zimbabwe.

Chibhabha collided with Chanderpaul.

He is down on the ground. Physio comes out to have a look. All seems ok. Zimbabwe players are in a huddle.

Morton out now. Finally although I would have wanted Chanderpaul to be the wicket. Still great stuff srom our guys. There was talk ealier on about Steu Matsikenyeri. I am sure today he proved a lot of us wrong. Great stuff.

Matsikenyeri drops one this time! What is it with the fielding today!

I see cricinfo is back online. Wonder what they think of Zim today seeing as they always post negative articles about us.

I forsee a large plate of humble pie. Probably laced with comments like "the West Indies didn't really try" and "it was a fluke".

Finally! Someone holds on to a catch!!

46.4 Brent to Lewis, OUT, heaves it in the air straight into the hands of Chigumbura at deep square leg.

Unfortunately I don't have any news, perhaps maehara does though.

Earlier zimdan said crowds are generally better on weekends than weekdays, so today's might not have been a huge crowd. Cricinfo said the "crowd was getting excited" so I assume there are a few people there

Bravo out, clean bowled by Chibhabha.

WI - pathetic performance.
