241 in 300 balls should be daoble Lets bat the same way Ireland batted in the second ODi. Excellent bowling effort today

No scoreboard pressure for Ben and Craig. Just need to grind it out

241 is chaseable for sure and we win the series if we bat our 50 overs, just need to take it deep and not collapse. Please man we need a damn series win it's been too long :roll:

Mawoyo clearly does not rate Curran. Really quite uncomplimetary on the subject and wanted to see Marumani open, with Tony Munyonga coming into the fold.

It's all well and good Mawoyo saying this isn't his first series and that he should be getting used to the pace of international cricket, but he has to use that same logic with countless others. Marumani has done sweet fuck all yet he's championing him to open and suggesting he continues to receive the opportunities already afforded to him. People seem to see something in Maru which I don't. I see a kid who has a good eye but an bloke who doesn't seem to be learning.

Was so nice to see Wez get some runs. Looks more solid and more mature when at the crease compared to previous years.
Mawoyo is a terrible commentator

Curran has a golden opportunity here to just settle in, take it slow and make some decent runs.

Still have to get thru the new ball on a difficult pitch. Not easy

He is pretty critical of Curran though, not sure where that's coming from. He could become our own Geoffrey Boycott :lol:

That was a good shot for no run from him. He's definitely trying to play a different game today.

Zimbabwe just needs to dig deep and bat out the 50 overs. We should be able to get over the line. Curran came in with too much hype much like Balance but his performances haven't been any different from what the other openers have been offering. He really needs to put in a shift here. It was frustrating in h8s last innings with him connecting but just failing to work the gaps.
