[Match Thread] Zimbabwe v India (Tri Series 1st Match)

[Dr_Situ(ZimFanatic)]

Taylor out for well made 81. In comes local tusker boy and my favourite Chopper. Ervine playing well and here fastens Zimbabwean chase.
10 run p'ship. Zimbabwe require another 100 runs with 7 wickets and 12.2 overs remaining

Pathan to Coventry, SIX, Coventry you beauty. A gem of a shot. He rushed down the track and crashed the off break over long-on. Wallop!

Vinay Kumar to Coventry, SIX, Stunning hit! Charles backs to the leg side and knives through the line. UP up and over long-off. He moved outside and hammered it on the up and through the line

and he is out but that as good ball
well done Chappie

First Blood Drawn: Fierce Zimbabwe slaughtered inept cricketers wearing Indian jersey at Queen's club in the "City of Kings." Apparently Bulawayo means 'place of slaughter.'

Proud of you guys

Yupppiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What a magnificent chase.

Barring Blignaut, every single member of the side played an important role today. Brilliant win.

What a great result for Zimbabwe. Even though it was an under strength Indian team any team that wears the Indian jersey is always going to have some great players. It was great to see all the batsmen score runs, although Lamb still didn't look comfortable. Lamb however not throw his wicket away and toughed it out. What a great debut for Craig Ervine - he looks like a class performer. Just imagine if we could get Sean Williams back also. Ervine and Williams would make for a strong middle order.

Lets hope we capitalise on this good start and dont fade away like we have in our last few series.

Good to see David Coltart part of the post-match presentations.

Very Fitting for the captin to play the winning shot and cos the top order played their roles well he didnt even have to hit out!!! For Once!!! Go Zim and special mention to Ervine, Taylor, Coventry Hamilton and Chris Mpofu as well!!
