Zimbabwe can still chase this down if they play sensibly.

Kaia has so much of vusi sibanda in him . His straight drives, pulls etc . Remind so much him . Or is it just me who thinks that way ?

Whoever has brought a vuvuzela to the ground needs taking behind the tobacco stand and given a talking to

Madhevere is in bad form, under pressure and struggling. So lets promote him to open the innings?

Not sure who's idea that was, but it was a terrible one.

[TapsC2]

To be honest at this point Chamu is a better pick than Wes

Wouldn't matter where he bats , no confidence at all

True that. Can't do worse.

[sam_ahm]

Ervine is in such good form.

[secretzimbo]

Good to see Kaia giving plenty of chat back to the sledging from Adair and Tucker.

Zimbabwe are not great at rotating the strike. Ireland had 150 dot balls in their innings, 50% of balls were scored off. Zimbabwe are currently 12 overs in have 50 dots of 72 balls, 69% dot balls and 31 % scoring shots. Scored off 22 out of the 72 available balls. I know it is early in the innings, so we will see if they pick it up
