Match Thread: 1st ODI Zimbabwe v Ireland

Will they give mavuta and K long the opportunities and long rope madhevere has had.

No, don’t be stupid me old China ZC suits looking for any reason whatsoever to chop Mavuta. He’s the best they could come up with while Wellington masakadza sorts his life out.

Changing tack, assuming with the weather that this game will get rained off, what does the forum think for Friday's game? Any changes? Hope the toss goes Zim's way and get some early Irish wickets?

Definately need another bowler to help out the other 5 guys cause some of them can't be trusted to bowl 10 overs and then pray for rain.

Praying for rain to water the tobacco plants yo. The rain stopping the boys getting pasted and staring down the barrel is pure coincidence

K Long looked really good until he got out. Mavuta looked immense.

There is something to be said for grinding it out on domestic circuit. Those players look much improved.

Madhevere and marumani take note.

K long looked good but seems to have no gears. Max power from ball one, like raz dawg but on steroids.
