A fantastic day!

Amazed to see how easy it's been this win with a chase completed in less than 40 overs.

There shouldn't be any doubt which is to be the batting opening partnership from now on.

We should have won that test as well.

What a great day for Zim cricket!!!!
Bowlers were organised, batters were magnificent.

Can't even complain too much about Craig's captaincy :lol:
I'd still have given Madhevere 3 overs to see.

Strange looking batting card for Zimbabwe. The top 3 getting the job done for once. Phenomenal innings from BC!

For the first time in a long time I feel like we have a chance in the future. Give the senior guys 2 more years with these guys and we have a chance. Ireland is obviously the starting point at this level so they must remember that and keep working. Afghanistan was a tough one but I also genuinely believe they can knock over all of the bottom 6 sides. Hoping Dion, Maru and Campbell get some runs over the weekend. We need to build a squad of capable guys

Looking back they should have won that test match and they didn't have any senior players with them.

Many congratulations to Zimbabwe on a desperately needed series win.

Can't tell you how happy I am for Ben Curran, well deserved man! Shows how important it is to give a longer rope to players who have the talent. This will do his confidence a world of good.

Luckily I was able to watch good part of the second innings, quite pleased to see such a dominating performance!

Now onto the T20s!
