1ST ODI SRI LANKA VS ZIMBABWE

[Tinah09]

Good one Richard!!!

[secretzimbo]

Hahahah what a shot from Big Rich!

[CrimsonAvenger]

Well, Ngarava!

[secretzimbo]

I worry this isn’t going to be enough.

Do we think batting will be easier or harder under the lights? I’m not too sure if Sri Lankan conditions and pitches really.

Bowlers are gonna have to really perform - Chatara has to justify his selection.

I think we may miss Jongwe's slower balls bowling into the pitch.

[Jemisi]

Pity we didn't get another 15.

297 is always something to bowl at.

Agreed. There’s never much sense in picking three new ball bowlers. At least Jongwe can offer something a bit different at first change.

I hope I’m wrong though - come on Larry!

[TapsC2]

Yes Larry over Jongwe might be the difference today. Those last 10 runs by Ngarava might make up for not having Jongwe in there so let's see how Chatara does with the ball.

What a knock again by Sean Williams, pure class to say the least. Burl in particular was a huge disappointment today, could have played few more deliveries to get settled before going for the big ones, such a great platform laid by the top orders. Raza got done in by a good slower ball. I am afraid we are 20 to 25 runs short, the track looks like an absolute belter.

Very good 100 by Sean Williams. 296 is a good score considering the average score on this ground is 258. So Zimbabwe have got something to bowl at here.

Need some good bowling to win this though. We've seen Zimbabwe struggling to defend big totals in the past.
