1st ODI | Zimbabwe Vs Ireland | 18th Jan 2023

Very poor stuff from Zimbabwe, far too many lives given to Balbirnie at the start. Poor bowling. Looking at 280 here.

God knows why we went defensive mode after getting two early wickets.

If there was a national twerking championship half of our cricketers would be a good bet. Ngarava would win.

Do we not have fitness coaches and nutritionists etc? Why are they all packing extra kilos?

[sam_ahm]

Ballance and Kaia to score hundreds and Zimbabwe to chase down the total

[sam_ahm]

Terrific hundred for Balbirnie. Such a good player. Gotbsome chances but made it count.

[secretzimbo]

Pretty clear that Mavuta will play the 2nd match

[jaybro]

Wellington is so average

[jaybro]

The umpire is giving them a few chances here that Burl ball was a wicket

Awful decision by the English umpire

[secretzimbo]

Madande has been exposed here today. Dropped catch early this morning. Didn't move for that one off Nyauchi just now. Couple of fumbles. Much quieter on the stump mic compared to e.g. Regis.

Needs to redeem himself with the bat.

[jaybro]

Nyauchi has been unlucky today, seems to be the story of his career, bowls well but doesn’t get the wickets
