Better to get the customary Zimbabwe Collapse™ out of the way in the warm ups. Normally we demolish a team like Australia in the warm-ups and lose the group matches. Happy for it to be the other way around this year...Kopje wrote:why did we have to choke against Ireland!?

Re: [Match Thread] Warm-up Match Ireland v Zimbabwe
Lads i was at this game, it was certainly not a choke haha. Ireland dominated from the very beginning and never looked troubled. I feel people don't give Ireland enough credit, they've worked their butts off since they've arrived in sl and it's paid off. And speaking frankly zimbabwe was lucky to get to 120+- once they were at 83/8 they tested out kev and murtagh with the ball instead of letting cusy finish them off with rankin/tj early. Also, Zimbabwe i believe played two separate elevens on the field and whilst batting. Whereas Ireland played the same XI on both inning's as they wanted to treat this like a real game. Those lads have serious spirit and a great mindset, the test playing nations could learn something from Ireland.

Three ducks and a 1 from the middle to lower order. Impressive even for us.
