Match Thread: Kenya v Zimbabwe, 3rd ODI

[CrimsonAvenger]

Pricey back to his usual self: 2-1-1-1

Just observed that Obanda has a 40+ ODI average. Our best chance to reach 40+ avg. currently seems to be Waller / Chakabva.

And I have added a hint to the latest Photo Quiz question.

EDIT: Oh! Chakabva hasn't played after the debut 41. So, he is already above 40

For Waller to have a batting average of 40 or more by the end of today's match he'd need to make at least 72 before getting out, or at least 32 not out.

Cremer hit for 6

I'm noticing a trend though, if we keep the batsmen quiet at the beginning of the over they are taking risks off the last couple of balls. Like when Price took the wicket of Otieno, he was going for a shot from the last ball of the over.

Maybe bowling wide of off stump for the final ball wouldn't hurt, it might open up the possibility of a stumping if the batsman advances down the pitch for a shot.

the spinner seem to be bowling quite flat perhaps they need to toss the ball up a bit more

Let's see, 1 run off the over and 3 dot balls in a row. 2 more balls in the over, I wonder if we'll see an attempt at a big shot... I think we will.

And as predicted!

22.5 Cremer to Obanda, OUT, flighted nicely on middle and he tries to go over the long-on boundary, but Masakadza takes a comfortable catch
