Is anyone else getting nervous about the UAE game too?
From here on in it’s going to be so nerve racking.

Im shitting bricks about every game. 1 shit at a time though, tomorrow its Scotland. We win that and progress we only have to beat the 2 lower ranked teams (ireland and UAE) and hope scotland lose once and were home.
Everything is so bloody stressful in this tournament

This tournament is really good. HSC was absolutely pumping yesterday. Loads of whites and blacks at the ground. Was really cool, and Zim wasn’t even playing ! I wouldn’t charge any money for Zim games during the S6, as it will deplete numbers massively. People here just don’t have money. If they don’t charge money, we gonna see crowds HSC hasn’t seen in over 15 years. Besides that T20 final where we smashed SA, that was sick.

Scotland will lose in the Super 6 phase for sure. The way I see it, ZIM has 2-3 virtual knock-out type games Scotland and then Ireland and also possibly the West Indies as well. They have already won the one vs Afghanistan. So one down, two or three more to go.strikerlube wrote: ↑Sun Mar 11, 2018 3:26 am

That sums it up I think. We need to win 2 of the 3 games against Scotland, Ireland and West Indies.Kriterion_BD wrote: ↑Sun Mar 11, 2018 4:29 amScotland will lose in the Super 6 phase for sure.

Ya HSC will be jammed for the Zim games. If you charge $1 crowds will be down 80%.
HSC is one of the most beautiful settings. The black guys were downstairs watching Man U Liverpool and glancing at the cricket and the white boys were upstairs watching the SA test, Super 15 and 6 nations and also glancing out the window. Standard Zim triathlon- drink, banter and sport on the box.
I can’t wait for the Harare games for Zim. It’s going to be jumping. West Indies are stronger than Ireland. I know the result reflected that, but I’m just saying Ireland is our key game.

Agreed Googly, HSC looked absoulutely brilliant yesterday, with a great crowd in. Good that Sky Sports showed it live (if you're in UK as I am), and will now show a few more games. Btw, that's my kind of triathlon!....

Dont count Scotland out yet, i think they ca even upset West indies , Ireland or UAE easily.
Re: [Series Thread]: 2018 ICC World Cup Qualifier | Non-Zim Matches
My goodness Ireland’s bowling attack is so average. Rankin isn’t even remotely quick. Dockrell bowled so loose. Just so average. No pace anywhere. We have a far better bowling attack than them.
Re: [Series Thread]: 2018 ICC World Cup Qualifier | Non-Zim Matches
Ya I haven’t seen Scotland yet, I’ve heard they’re good. The big surprise for me has been Netherlands. They’re a good side, just haven’t fired. They never gave Snater a game when it counted, which was an error. He’s a fine bowler.
