Every single ball he bowled this over was a boundary ball.

Yes, absolutely

Strange match, no idea how we’ve won really.

This is a great series though if you were a neutral

I can't understand how he's getting selected still. I'm sorry but its time to move on. He's a player of the past and needs to be dropped.

Amazing that we pulled off the win but I'm so not satisfied with the performance. First of all Ervine shouldn't be shitting his wicket away like that with a stupid reverse sweep attempt. Maybe need to switch the batting order up a bit. Chatara's last over was real bad, should've done much better against tail enders defending 19. We need to iron out all the issues for the next ODI. Bright spots, Williams in good good nick, Wesley seems to have regained his batting abilities and that bowling spell will do amazing things for his confidence, Madande with 2 50s in 2 ODIs is again a huge boost for his mental. Hopefully we can stamp our authority in the 3rd game and win this one properly, both teams have been in positions where it looks almost certain they'll win and then bottled it multiple times this series.

And Raza's over with two wickets which were long hops.
The cricketing gods were smiling on us today

I think Burl's face says it all. The fielding was awful.
A win's a win but we really did our best to lose that.

Well done Wez

Zimbabwe with this win have ensured they won't finish last in the WSL table.

For me that mattered.

17 off the last over.
Chatara is past it. Bring on Chivanga or ngarava back next match.
Muzarabani little cameo won us the game when he batted. Well played Williams and Madande also.
Madhevere hat trick was wild. Well played

[Googly]

Ya neither team knows how to close a game out.
Craig's bowling changes I don't get.

[Detective RDS]

Is Matsikenyeri assistant coach or batting coach ?

Ideally, Matsikenyeri should be the fielding coach as he was known to be a good fielder ?

Dropped catches, misfields, fumbles, weak throws we have seen it all today.

Chatara's time is up for Zimbabwe unfortunately.
