[Match Thread] South Africa v Zimbabwe - 2nd ODI

[zimexpress]

Lets not forget Chibhabha went on the tour only as a replacement to Sean Williams who in my opinion is an all rounder or has the potential to become one. I strongly think Chibhabha is in the same mould. I think its good to have someone who is good with both bat and ball. However he needs to turn all his good starts into big totals.
The reason why they continue to choose him is best known to the selectors and they are an experienced bunch.

I've got a supersport2 stream from http://www.P2Pstation.net at the moment

Zim have won the toss and chosen to field first again

[Train Driver]

Team seems to be

Masakadza, Taylor, Taibu, Coventry, Matsikenyeri, Chigumbura, Utseya, Cremer, Price, Jarvis & Mpofu

i'm not sure that gives us enough batting though ........

[Train Driver]

According to the Centurion speed cameras Jarvis is bowling around the 138 kph mark

Taylor has just put Smith down in the gulley off Mpofu

24-0 from 5 overs

Thanks for the link Train Driver, and yes, this is my first look at Jarvis and his speed gun, and it looks good

A very ordinary effort from Taylor though, and as Kepler Wessels observed over commentary, he didn't even expect it. Is he better of behind the stumps, as Taibu is much quicker on the field?

Jarvis is bowling 90mph

[Train Driver]

You may well be correct CrimsonAvenger, now all you have to do is convince Taibu

Things getting out of hand now at 51-0 from 8, time for Utseya and Price i think. Commentators said earlier that Chigumbura is in the side as a batsman only again, his injury is a side strain.

[CrimsonAvenger]

Streak's not happy with some field settings, from his animated discussions in the dressing room

And Allan Donald mentions the possibility of Grant flower returning as batting coach. Hurray...

[zimfan1]

Alan Donald said that Zimbabwe are trying to get Grant Flower as batting coach
