[Match Thread: Ireland v Zimbabwe HSC]

[Googly]

Our current ZC have set the bar so high for longevity and plunder, possibly only bested by no more than 4 politicians that they will be big boots to fill when they eventually die of old age, but the next folk will sure as hell try.

Genuinely shitting myself the closer this gets.

This is going to be one hell of a game. I can feel it. ZIM have been impressive but again they are faced with a must-win type game.

Afghan game we knew was going to be a must win. Scotland wasn't supposed to be, but became one due to the Afghans slipping out of contention. Now the Irish game is huge and then after that will be another vs WI. 4 games, each of which is the most important in ZIM's long history. This is what cricket fans live for!

Btw, supporting Ireland today as a neutral.

I will breathe a sigh of relief if we bowl first.

God I hope we win !!!!

So sad that the Pakistani is still being hood winked by his street smart administration into doing deals to the detriment of the team. The team should be focusing on the game at hand but ZC just seem to have no idea the importance of a win today.

Looks like we are batting first. Jarvis comes in for Chatara. Blessing keeps his place.

A bit of context would be good here

I'm going to be sick. After everyone spoke about it being bad to bat first, and now we are.

Zim cricket excites me and makes me super nervous

[Flakeman]

Not a good toss to lose. How does our best seamer lose his place?

[zimfan1]

at least with 4 spinners they will get the best of the pitch. Not great to be batting first.

Not sure no Chatara is a massive issue, we will have 40 overs of spin bowled.
