Zimbabwe seem to be falling into this trap a lot lately, instead of keeping the pressure on the batsmen and bringing back someone like Chigumbura (yes he was expensive, but he has a knack of taking a wicket when he is brought back on) or Price, we seem to give the batsmen an easy ride - Masakadza and Dabengwa don't look threatening, they are just giving away easy runs.

This needs to be addressed, where is the killer instinct?

[zimfan1]

my personal opion is that utseya is feeling threatend by the emergance of cremer and price and is worried that he may not be worth his place in the team, therfore he is bowling others ahead of them

This is disgraceful:

Current partnership 76 runs, 14.5 overs, RR: 5.12

Thanks to 7 useless overs by Masakadza and Dabengwa that conceded 43 of those runs. Price, Mpofu, Chigumbura all had a lot of overs left - very poor captaincy, a real shame seeing of late he's made some pretty good on-field decisions. What does Price have to do to get a bowl?? Unless he is brought on in the next over or two he will not get to bowl his full 10 overs.

utseya gets one to break the partnership but should of been done earlier

If Cremer concedes 6 or less runs from his next over, he will have an ODI economy rate below 4.00 an over

[zimfan1]

hes gone for 6 so far and got a wicket come on 4 wickets what an effort

dot ball here and you will have your wish

Great bowling performance! 4/39 from 10 overs brings his career ODI economy rate to 3.96


In the scheme of things, he has taken the important wickets too; Tikolo, Obuya, Obanda and Kamande.

top performance by cremer

and utseya gets his encond 8 down and price back on the finish of the tail

UTSEYA'S AVERAGE FINALLY BELOW 50
