1st ODI | Zimbabwe Vs Ireland | 18th Jan 2023

[TapsC2]

It has flattened out nicely. Need to keep it below 300. I think 280 something is chaseable with a solid start.

Ngarava suggesting to Madande that the ball was close to him.. too hard to tell from the TV but some of them have looked like Regis might have made a better effort

[Crastle_cog]

Many loose moments from Madande today.
A bit too early to judge.
However if it continues like this Mutumbami may do a Chamu soon.

I think the criticism of Madande has been harsh today, both chances were not regulation and both would have taken great dives. I do think he’s been caught a little flat footed at times but it’s far from being the worst keeping performance we’ve seen by a Zimbo.

Did evans cop balbirnie with a beamer or bouncer?

Definitely difficult chances. His anticipation will improve with more experience.

Tector is who Wesley thinks he is.

This can be chased down. HSC is notoriously flat in the afternoon. We just need the openers to set a platform. No silly shots from the 2 youngsters.

Beamer. Although it actually came off the top edge first so not as bad as it first looked.

Actually the best ball Evans bowled in that horror over

[secretzimbo]

Did okay in the last five overs to restrict them to 288. In theory thats chaseable on a Harare afternoon but we need to bat sensibly.

We don't take enough wickets in ODIs. Been a problem for a while.

It's odd because in T20's Zimbabwe had the best bowling economy rate for 2022 across ALL countries
