Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI

[TapsC2]

Deep down I felt we were due 1 collapse. Didn't think it would be this bad but anyway... 10 points is what I budgeted for this series and that's what we got

[TapsC2]

In the grand scheme of things picking up 20 points away in Pakistan and Sri Lanka is a good return for us. 15 in Ireland was fair. The Bangladesh series is our only flop for me so far, we needed 10 points there.

I'm hoping we pick 10 off Afghanistan, 20 off the Dutch and another 10 with a fluke against the 2 big boys who hopefully play reserve sides against us. 75 points is the target in my head for maybe a 10th place finish. 9th if we are really lucky. The qualifiers are inevitable

It's ok folks shit happens. They've played well in the first 2 games and this kind of a collapse can happen at times for a team that plays less often.

I don't mind the defeat, in a sport you win some, you lose some but the manner of this defeat has been disappointing. Esp because I think this is a good batting wicket. 255 was chasable. Just didn't bat well enough.

I hope there are more fixtures in the coming months, don't want to wait for months for the next one. Please ZC, get more fixtures in there.

Out bowlers cant last for three balls ..such a long tail we have ..so dissapointing .atleast make 100

[tej_27]

What is Ryan burl's plan of action here ..play 6 dot balls and then expose tail ..atleast go for your shots

Checked the score at the end of the first innings and was quietly confident. Checked it now. Tell me this is just a nightmare and I'll wake up to a better result...

Even Burl in batting practice mode misses a fairly standard Vandersay ball

Really poor batting performace. Can't expect Ervine and Williams to score all the runs.
