It's on the freesports chanel (UK) 422. They have the rights to all zim matches for the next three years

Sloandog it says online it is streaming on Free sports in the UK. Yeah this commentator isn't great but at least there's commentary and a game!

Didn't think the game was starting so early. I was busy tabulating my stock performances for the day and figured I'd check in to see who won the toss or if the toss had already happened. Come in to see 15 overs already bowled and 4 wickets down.

Afghan's can't bat for shit. Its criminal Bangladesh allowed these guys to score 600 in a Test on a pitch that had turn.

Nyauchi is quite good

That 4 to 1 Zim or draw bet is looking pretty good right now

The don doesn't look the level of the other two bowlers

I don't even think we have bowled that well. Far too many four balls but also some good wicket taking ones. Blessing was bowled for a couple of overs too many and for Nyauchi to bowl 10 on the trot is a great effort.

Yup . No venom at all. When I think about it now he is a good plan when we are in a situation where we will get dominated but in a situation like this where we are on the same level our aim should be to take 20 wickets as quickly as possible.

With the way Nyauchi has performed this might be the last time we see Don if Jarvis and Chatara are back.

We might have been better off with 4 fast bowlers in there instead of the extra batsman.
