Series thread - MTN Domestic Championship

According to supersports he was brought on for the 35th over and, they say, was bowling leg spin. I see that cricinfo still show him as a leggie as well.

Yeah, I think I remember him bowling leg breaks a few years ago. He's since changed to right arm medium - that was what he bowled in Pakistan anyway.

supersport are saying that it's a 5 wicket win for Zim

A D/L result with Zim 205-5, Masakadza 54.

good stuff from hamilton hes developing into a fine batsman and his pie chuckers got 2-10 good effort from the boys

3/3 at HSC!


and Masakadza mainly bowls little medium paced darts these days. They're pretty handy with the keeper standing up, he got Symonds stumped by Taylor in the 20/20 win over the Aussies if you remember...

Good win for Zim, Traindriver there is a mathematical chance for Zim to qualify if they win all their remaining games.

congrats zimbabwe.................winning by 5 wkts is truely good stuff and also they have chased a comparatively gud total.....


anybody has got the score card

[brmtaylor.com admin]

Off the top of my head, Mafa took 2/27 for the Lions, Masakadza scored 54, Chibhabha 46*, Dabengwa 31*, Taibu 33, Taylor 12, Sibanda 21. Masakadza took 2/10, and Muzarabani, Price and Mupariwa each took a wicket. For the Lions, Cook 56, Coetsee 38, Jaarsveld 34.

No scorecard available yet, but I found those scores above on various websites (zimcricket.org, supersport, allafrica.com, etc)

I'm certainly keeping my fingers crossed Utseyalitharan, it would be one hell of a fightback if Zim were to progress to the semi finals. The only thing that is clear at the moment is that Titans have got through, so still 3 places up for grabs.

The scorecard has appeared on cricinfo this morning, an excellent spell by Mupariwa, 9-2-26-1, to keep the score in check although Utseya got a bit of stick, 7-0-56-0.

Four batsmen making a reasonable contribution, Masakadza 54, Chibhabha 46*, Dabengwa 31* and Taibu 31.

The biggest irony is that Zim should win 2 games on the bounce when the best batsman so far, Williams, is missing from the side. Hopefully that means more players are taking responsibility now, and that is very good news for the future.

ya good to see chibahba back in the side scoring runs and dabengwa we keep slating him but he seems to be in decent form. The bowling looks alot better with Mupariwa..also Mazurabani is getting a few wickets good on him
