[Match Thread] Zimbabwe vs New Zealand 1st ODI

[Flower power]

Gutsy fight back by Taylor, again, and Mutizwa. Looking at 220+ if they can hold it together. Not enough to win a match so once again we are forced to try make a close game of it to save face.

If our guys had big hearts we could fight for this game . Seems big hearts are missing here .......

I think the fight back has been pretty good so far. 81 run partnership at over 4 an over is a good result considering where Zimbabwe was, at 4/21.

I really hope Mutizwa gets a 50 today. It will prove to him that he can do it against the best in the world rather than Just kenya where he has got his 3 ODI 50's from

I don't know how long Mutizwa can hold on , but today he has to play the game of his life in support of Taylor , rotating the strike and not letting Taylor do all the hard work .

to Taylor
He's had a bit of luck today, but the team sure needs it.

Taylor leading from the front , hope he goes on to pick a century .Well done Foster for sticking around ,that is what middle order is about.
Smash & grab when you don't have overs and play sensibly hen you get in early .

[Flower power]

Well done Foster , keep digging in .

Nice shot by Mutizwa! He is really searching to hit over mid-wicket, it seems like it is an area he is quite strong in.

Unlucky Mutizwa. Thought you both had time to get your centuries but well played. You should be playing ODI's for a good while yet with these sort of innings
