We need to make sure we get to 130 at least and give our bowlers something to bowl at. 100 will not be a good total

all out for 118.
Sri Lanka require 119 to win, and Zimbabwe need 10 wickets. Do we have a chance ?? Yes, there's always a chance, though It'll be a very small one at that. Poor poor performance from Zimbabwe today. It's now down to our bowlers to keep the run rate down and take some early wickets up front, which will be the only way in which we can get back into this match. :|

At least we have decent spin bowlers in our team which is a positive :D :W:

Lets just hope for a repeat of that Twenty20 game against West Indies earlier this year :mrgreen: :W: :W:

It's unlikeness. That imparticular wicket was turning square, though this wicket seems to be a much flatter track. However there is some some there, so we do have a slight chance u may say.

...and once again we're left relying on the spinners to put the squeeze on. Very poor batting performance.

Agree. The sooner Grant Flower gets over here, the better

It is disappointing that we have followed up a great performance with the bat with a mediocre one. This seems to be a trend with us. The pressure is really on the bowlers now.
